A Pittsburgh Storm

David R. O'Keeffe

In the face of human extinction, Matthew Cahill, alone travels the devastated Pennsylvania country in search of meaning in this new, desolate world.


Early next year, a deadly and unexplained virus emerges on the U.S. continent. Within weeks, the entire world's population faces extinction. Amongst the chaos and desperation of a ruined world stand a few mysteriously unaffected individuals. Lost, confused, and alone.

"A story with blood pulsing through its veins, Pittsburgh Storm is a perfect little thriller for a cold, winter night. To be read while tucked in bed with a good light on your night-stand. Mr. O'Keeffe is definitely a writer to watch." Stacey Cochran (www.staceycochran.com)

Tom. I've just finished the first few chapters of your work. You're a very talented writer, and the premise of your story is exciting. I particularly love your short punchy chapters, which make it ideal to read in a place like Authonomy. Good luck with it. Dave (A Pittsburgh Storm) view book

I love the language you use in this story -- you pant a very vivid and believable character, amongst a pretty much insane situation. I like it a lot. I've only read the first chapter so far, but I'll return to take in some more. Dave (Pittsburgh Storm) view book
