Here's everything you've always wanted in a post-apocalyptic novel:

Wal-Mart residents enjoying a Christmas sing-along

Religious fanatics waiting for Jesus in Okeefenokee Swamp Park

Sexed-up displaced youths enjoying each other in a government-sponsored free-love commune.

And more. Much more.
Except no ravenous zombies. (sorry)

New Coastal Times begins in the near future (maybe tomorrow) as Hurricane Walter begins swallowing Florida. Not that anyone is going to miss the former Sunshine State all that much. But it's only the beginning. As natural and unnatural disasters abound everywhere, global warming ushers in a whole new era that's not as bad as you might think. At least for some.

Accompany Mia Fine, a former so-so newspaper reporter, her adorable doctor husband, and a small band of show-tune singing survivors in the New Coastal Times Performing Arts Center van as they traverse a not-so-brave new world.

WARNING: This book contains references to an ungodly number of Broadway musicals. Readers may find themselves unwillingly singing along.
