About this title

Synopsis

The world has ended.

What followed was not silence, but continuation. Roads still lead somewhere. People still gather. Old words still carry weight, even after the structures that gave them meaning have collapsed.

John moves through what’s left, carrying a past that refuses to stay buried. Kyra tries to hold onto something fragile in a landscape that rewards endurance more than mercy. Their lives intersect without design, in a world where endurance is mistaken for virtue and survival offers no absolution.

Alexandria’s Genesis is a post-collapse novel concerned with what people hold onto when everything else is stripped away. Persistence replaces hope. Memory endures as burden, shaping who people become when there are no longer clear answers.

This is not a story about the end of the world.
It is about what continues—and the cost of allowing it to continue.

About the Author

Born and raised in rural Wisconsin, Steven Strackbein began writing speculative fiction while serving in the military. With a background in psychology and mental health counseling, his work is shaped by a long-standing interest in human behavior, moral injury, and the ways individuals adapt under sustained pressure. His fiction explores moments when differing minds, competing values, and alternative survival strategies fail to coalesce, and what remains as social structures erode. He is a member of the Wisconsin Writers Association, has attended their Novel-In-Progress Bookcamp and Writing Retreat, and has participated in a local writing group for several years. Steven lives in a semi-rural Wisconsin community with his wife, Tanya, and their dogs. When not writing, he enjoys cooking and world travel.
