Quotes by J.L. Bourne  (?)

“Well, for starters, it’s an island. Oahu and especially Honolulu were highly populated when the dead started coming back, and because it’s an island, there would have been no escape from the creatures. It will be very risky to attempt resupply with that many of those things massed in the areas we’ll be operating.”
J.L. Bourne, Shattered Hourglass

“We PT every morning as a group, and some of us are fast. I’m not the hare of the group, but I’m not in the goon squad, either.”
J.L. Bourne, Tomorrow War

“of my thoughts for so long during my period of mechanically induced exile. This is something that only a veteran can really understand. Sometimes before and during deployments you seem to detach yourself from the ones you love just to make things hurt a little less.”
J.L. Bourne, Beyond Exile

July 2016: It is time. Zombies. (Sorry, Celeste)

We have only narrowed this down to Adult/Horror/Zombie. So, no comedies, no romance, no kids books... this is meant to scare you in to a healthy OCD Fear of human bites. Zombies at their best.

H.L. Mencken, Prejudices First Series
