About Misty Zaugg
New author. Lifetime creative.
I remember being jealous of all the life adventures I read in the author bios of books I devoured at an early age. And somehow, I ended up with my own collection.
My eclectic list includes black belt, M.D., beekeeper, herbalist, hobby survivalist, yummy bread baker, devout Christian and my greatest accomplishments: homeschool mom of six and wife to the other kind of doctor – the engineering kind.
I started writing in kindergarten and dabbled in putting my stories onto paper for a scholarship here and a writing award there. It took me over a decade to finish my first novel and in my mid-forties, I finally got serious and started my Combat series, finishing a book every couple of months. I hope you enjoy them.
I love hearing from fans. Thank you for joining me in the worlds I create!

Blog postHi friends,
I really enjoy getting emails from you. A couple of you had some great suggestions in response to my newsletter about depression last week.
Sam suggested something that might sound counter-intuitive: Say, “I want to be depressed” over and over. Give it a try. Usually after a few repetitions, you start laughing at how silly and ridiculous the idea is and it can improve your mood. Simple enough to give this reverse psychology trick a try.

Blog postHi friends,
I love sunshine! At least before we reach the super-hot, muggy days of summer. I’m sitting here in front of a sunny window in my role as an ‘adult supervisor’ while my teenage son runs a Dungeons & Dragons class at our local homeschool co-op. There is lots of laughter and creativity happening here.
I hope you also have sparks of joy wherever you are in the world.

Blog postHi friends,
Do you occasionally have crazy weather in your neck of the woods? We do almost every spring here. Sometimes, we’ve had hail, rain, snow and sunshine all in the same day.
Check out our unseasonable snow this week during what should be sunny spring weather and my 7-year-old’s response: Her snowman family.
The following night we hit well below freezing. I woke up to my daughter yelling, “They’re still alive!”

Blog postHi friends,
For those of my friends living in the states, isn’t it nice to see little glimpses of spring? We had a beautiful, sunny day last week, warm enough to go out in t-shirts.
Neighbors emerged from homes like prisoners freed from jail. It was so fun to enjoy the beautiful outdoors after months of cold, huddling inside.
Of course, we immediately had a spat of dreary, cold and rainy days afterward, but we’re hoping for more sun soon.

Blog postHi friends,
I had some nice feedback about an earlier newsletter explaining an idea to buy basic medicine in bulk and then to make kits with friends or in a group activity.
Then Scott, one of our awesome fans, asked about vacuum packing the medications to help them last longer. That sparked a memory of another fun idea I ran across years ago.
First of all, yes, vacuum packing will help most anything last longer, including medicines. Also, they will last long if kept dr2 months ago Read more
Titles By Misty Zaugg
A deadly illness. Panicked lockdown. And two sisters who’ll stop at nothing to save each other.
The second wave of the Siberian Flu catches the country completely unprepared.
Instead of killing the old and frail, the young and healthy are dropping . . . in hours, not days.
Kate, a new doctor, will sacrifice everything to break her and her sister free from a controlling stepfather and a dead-end small town existence. Moments from landing the critical job she needs, St. Louis falls apart around her.
Now it’s a race to survive. She has to fight through a city turning deadlier by the second and traverse a chaotic country to save her sister.
Alisa should be safe at home in their small town, but she’s never been happy to sit back and let life pass her by. Concerned for her stepbrother, she finds herself embroiled in a far-reaching conspiracy that might be even deadlier than the pandemic.
As an invisible killer spreads like wildfire, society breaks down with astonishing speed. Refusing to succumb to the chaos, the sisters will have to dig deep for strength, rely on new friends, and fight a vicious battle to survive.
From the authors of the top-selling Aftermath series, Deadly Lockdown is the first book in a gripping post-apocalyptic series full of everyday, driven characters who never quit fighting through non-stop peril and danger.

Both sisters are trapped. Kate fights to escape a city with closing borders as the leaders desperately try to contain the outbreak. Betrayed by family and embroiled in the chaos of an organized crime syndicate, Alisa struggles to get out before she breaks under the unbearable strain.
Even if she escapes, Kate still faces miles of lawless country with dangers even worse than the virus. Back home, Alisa can’t turn her back on the other trapped victims and is determined to find a way to save them all.
As society falls apart, laws collapse, and the virus spreads, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Racing to reach each other, the sisters will fight to overcome every obstacle in their battle to survive.
From the authors of the top-selling Aftermath series, Deadly Escape is the second book in a page-turning post-apocalyptic series featuring everyday, driven characters who’d rather die than quit in the face of non-stop peril and danger.

With death and chaos erupting across the country, family matters most.
Hundreds of deadly miles stand between Kate and her sister fighting for her life back home. Kate fights through the desperate people and a terrain that becomes more treacherous by the day.
No longer waiting to be rescued, Alisa braves the powerful cabal that has taken over their small town and risks her own life to protect the innocent.
The sisters can’t give up. They won’t.
No matter the cost.
As the invisible killer continues to kill, society breaks down with astonishing speed. Racing just ahead of the chaos to reach each other, the sisters will have to dig deep for strength, rely on new friends, and fight perilous battles to survive.
As the stakes reach desperate levels, can the sisters combine forces in time to save each other and the people they love?
