About this author

Rhiannon Frater was born and raised a Texan. Though she has lived in various towns all over the state, she finally settled in Austin, Texas where she met her husband and worked as a governmental consultant.
During her travels for her job, she was inspired to write the story of two women fleeing into the Texas Hill Country in an attempt to survive the zombie apocalypse. Originally published as a serial online under the title AS THE WORLD DIES, she later self-published the series in three novels to satisfy the many fans of the story. The first novel in the series, THE FIRST DAYS, won the 2008 Dead Letter Award for Best Book (Fiction). The second book, FIGHTING TO SURVIVE won the 2009 Dead Letter Award in the same category.

What Once We Feared by Carrie Ryan
Let's be clear...this is a SHORT STORY. It's not a novella. Which really disappointed me. I was hoping for something lengthier, so I was a bit disappointed in that regard.

As a basic zombie story, it works. It could fit into any zombie anthology seaml...more

Strings by Kendall Grey
First off, this is NOT the kind of book I usually read. I'm not the demographic for this book. Therefore, my seemingly paltry 2.5 rating may seem low, but it's actually a pretty big compliment. I fully expected to DNF the book, but I didn't. I'm not...more
Rhiannon Frater is 20% done with Strings: I don't read erotica. I don't read contemporary romance.

But this is freakin' hilarious. Oh, my gawd! I've been laughing out loud at some of the insanity.

Will I keep reading? I don't know. I might burn out and DNF it, but for now it's making me giggle.

I know quite a few people who are friends with the author and describe her as raunchy/hilarious. I can see that! Totally

“Wow! I'm more of a badass than I thought.”
Rhiannon Frater, The First Days

“The crux of the argument was that Jenni was a bloodthirsty psycho and would waste all of the ammo while Juan was too stupid to understand guns were made to be fired.”
Rhiannon Frater, The First Days

“During the meeting, Jenni paid attention only when they talked about killing zombies.”
Rhiannon Frater, The First Days

“Juan nonchalantly drove the shovel through the head of the zombified maid, and the drama was over.”
Rhiannon Frater, The First Days

“Well," Jenni said with a wry smile, "at least we live in Texas, where people actually own guns and hunt.”

Darlene Ruiz I love when I find awesome new vampire stories to read!!! I adore the Tale of the Vampire Bride and The Vengeance of the Vampire Bride. I hope a third book is in the making!! Gothic Horror is my favorite and my second favorite is probably vampire stories written in the south. Which is why I am reading Pretty when she dies!! Love Love!!


Beth  (Curling Up With A Good Book) Siege was amazing...Truly an awesome book---Had so much energy and fast paced action but with romance and drama as well!! I loved it!!


Karina Halle Thanks for accepting! You're awesome.

A lot of the ratings are for the self-published version. The recent reviews for the Tor version (which is the BEST version) are by reviewers who got advanced review copies or people who won an early copy. Xpresso Reads blog is hosting a giveaway for Siege right now.

Siege could show up in stores a week or two early. Good luck!

Eva Leger Hi Rhiannon! I just started Eric's Story! I was only going to bring it up and then come back to it later but I'm already on page 22. I couldn't wait. LOL I'm not too far in yet but it's great so far and I can't wait to get back to it after dinner!
