“There are moments that define a person's whole life. Moments in which everything they are and everything they may possibly become balance on a single decision. Life and death, hope and despair, victory and failure teeter precariously on the decision made at that moment. These are moments ungoverned by happenstance, untroubled by luck. These are the moments in which a person earns the right to live, or not.”
Jonathan Maberry, Rot and Ruin

“Often it was the most unlikely people who found within themselves a spark of something greater. It was probably always there, but most people are never tested, and they go through their whole lives without ever knowing that when things are at their worst, they are at their best.”
Jonathan Maberry, Rot and Ruin

“I’m not sure I could trust a man who would bypass an Oreo in favor of vanilla wafers. It’s a fundamental character flaw, possibly a sign of true evil.”

“Sometimes people say terrible things when they're scared. They don't mean to, but they can't help it. They lash out because if they can see that their words hurt someone else, it makes them feel as if they aren't completely powerless.”

message 34: by Coty

Coty I just finished Benny Imura #2 "Dust & Decay" the other day an I already own "Flesh & Bone" but I'm hesitant on picking it up because I know I'll soon have it read an than be on hold until later this year for "Fire & Ash". I've never been an avid reader, actually haven't read more than 10 books on leisure time my whole life. Recently I thought I'd throw down the games an pick up the books an I thought you'd be proud to know Rot & Ruin or the Benny Imura Series is the first I've decided to read. So far enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks Jonathan!

Q: Will we see Fast Tommy anymore in the series?


Michelle You know I love a book when I decide to actually buy a copy for myself after reading it for free thanks to my library.


message 32: by Evie

Evie I just read about Rot & Ruin being turned into a movie. Congrats! I can't wait to see Benny on the big screen. I hope they do it justice.


MommyDearest Just finished Rot & Ruin and Dust & Decay. Couldn't put them down, or actually I didn't want to put them down. There was 1 part in the second book that I didn't like. A part that made me cry. Wish that part had been different.

That said I'm really looking forward to Flesh & Bone.

Thanks for the add!


Christine Hatfield thanks for being my friend


message 29: by Evie

Evie I just finished reading Dust & Decay... I'm absolutely amazed at how amazing it was. And the ending had me in tears. So amazing. Well played, sir. I can't wait to read Flesh & Bone. I hope it comes out before the zombies show up. <_<


Faye (The Social Potato) I'm sure you already saw my little message to you but I still just want to say you really rock, Sir!! I'll be reading your books and review each one of them :)

Lou Hi i notice youre still stuck on reading relentless lol.


Jonathan Great to see you, Eva. Thanks for coming to the Liars Club event.

I'm working out some new readings/signings. I'll be doing Clinton, NJ; Claymont, DE; and a few places around Pennsylvania. Dates and times soon.


message 11: by Eva

Eva Leger I had a GREAT time listening to you read this afternoon! I'm so happy I learned about it from you in time to drive up. I can honestly say there aren't but about 2 or 3 authors I'd drive 2+ hours for but your story in The New Dead was out of this world and I know Rot & Ruin will be also. (Which I'm going to cherish now! lol)
If you think of it let me know when you do any other readings near Philly and I'll try to come. I'm going to get Zombie CSU this weekend too - looking forward to it. Thanks!!


Tiffiane I read "Countdown" a couple months ago after my book club finished up Patient Zero. I loved it, great background to get the reader into the story of Joe Ledger.

I just finished "Deep Dark" - it was fabulous! I miss Joe a lot and I can't wait to get The Dragon Factory, I'm so excited for it to come out 3-2!!
