I live in upstate New York with my wife and two wonderful kids. In the horror genre, I have written Gospel of the Living Dead: George Romero's Visions of Hell on Earth (Baylor, 2006) - WINNER, 2006 Bram Stoker Award; Dying to Live: A Novel of Life among the Undead (Permuted Press, 2007); Orpheus and the Pearl(Magus Press, 2008); and Dying to Live: Life Sentence(Permuted Press, 2008).

ha! You know, Dr. Paffenroth, you are wily. ;-) I can't think of Orpheus and the Pearl as a zombie story, because your zombie has too much character! lol
Take care, Kim. Many good wishes.
