Memphis Falls

About the Book

Roy O’Connor moves into Memphis with his wife and two children in hopes to start a new life. His dreams are quickly shattered when a destructive earthquake along the New Madrid Fault Line destroys the city of Memphis. After rescue efforts fail and no law and order exist, Memphis falls into chaos. Roy must fight his way through the violent criminals and the desperate to get his family out of the city alive.

A speculative fiction that could one day become a reality for the citizens of Memphis and the world to see. All I hope for when that day comes is for the people of Memphis and everyone that lives on the New Madrid Fault Line will prove me wrong on my theory of the violence and how people can become under desperation.

About the Author

I am Jacob McElwee, I never thought of myself as a writer nor did I think I wanted to do so. It was just recently that I developed an interest in writing. I first wrote this book as a Screenplay and then after reading it I believed it would be great as a novel.

I wrote this to tell a story about how chaotic people can become when they are desperate and when there is no law and order. I want people to realize that the characters in this story are more than just a number of deaths we hear on the news after a disaster like this. They are people with stories that can’t be told. I hope after people read this that they will stop to think of how they would behave during a crisis like this. Would you become desperate and be selfish and bring harm to others for the sake of your own survival or would you be good and selfless and help each other through a moment of crisis?

Memphis Falls is dedicated in loving memory to my Pastor Arnold Murray and my friends Brandon Jacob Rowe, Ricky Leach, Gerald and Patricia B.
