From “Last of the Salts”…

“What about the sun?” I whispered.

“If life on Earth as we know it is about to end forever, then I want to spend the last of it with you, Ember. There’s no one else. Just you.”

“What if we go now? Maybe there’s a way, and we can leave now, together,” I pleaded. “Let’s get out of here.”

What would you do if the end of the world meant choosing between the people you love and the chance to survive?

About the Author

Dawn M. Wallace is a North Carolina author whose work explores themes of purpose, belonging, and transformation. Born in Germany to an Indian mother and American father, she grew up between continents and cultures, traveling extensively throughout Europe and India before eventually settling in the United States. Her experiences as a third-culture child continue to shape her fascination with identity, migration, and the enduring search for home.

Her debut novel Last of the Salts reflects those interests through a blend of science fiction, spirituality, and frontier storytelling.

Wallace lives with her family in rural North Carolina, where she tends a flock of sheep with her husband and homeschools her children.

“I might be a human, but at least I’m not an Earthling…”
