A fast-paced post-apocalyptic thriller!
Rated 5-Stars by READERS’ FAVORITE: "Author Ernie Gammage has a real sense of visceral tension, and he delivers more than just another survival story because of the heart and soul of the characters. After the Before is an emotionally rich, atmospheric adventure that dystopian and speculative fiction lovers will absolutely want to explore, and I would not hesitate to recommend it."


A speculative short fiction collection!
"Well written, sometimes disturbing and always creative, like your favorite chapter of your favorite book. Immersive and thought proving. I’d read it again."
"Each story stands on its own, and yet, as a collection, they are quite diverse and enjoyable. I highly recommend this book!"
"Very entertaining…A MUST READ."

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
“Seems I’ve always led two lives…at the same time!” says Texas musician, author, and visual artist, Ernie Gammage. “I’ve made music since I was eight years old and as an adult have simultaneously been a chamber of commerce executive or an educator or worked for the State of Texas. And always, I’ve been a writer. Whether it’s art, music or writing, it all comes from and goes to the same place. Story telling is the same no matter what the medium.”
​
As a musician, Ernie has appeared twice on PBS’s Austin City Limits and is a member of the Texas Songwriters Association Texas Music Legends Hall of Fame. As an artist, he exhibits at art markets around the state. His art, music, and writing can be found on this web site.
​
He lives on the banks of a creek in Austin, Texas with his wife and a somnolent cat.
