The Apocalypse Crusade 2
Quick description of it (no spoilers)
In an apocalypse there is definitely a beginning where mistakes are made and the seeds of evil are allowed to sprout and take shape. However, an end is not so certain. Once an Apocalypse occurs not even death is certain. Sometimes death is only the beginning.
At first light that morning, Dr Lee steps into the Walton facility on the initial day of human trials; she can barely contain her excitement. The labs are brand spanking new and everything is sharp and clean. They’ve been built to her specifications and are, without a doubt, a scientist’s dream. Yet even better than the gleaming instruments is the fact that Walton is where cancer is going to be cured once and for all. It’s where Dr. Lee is…

Zombie Night in Canada: First Period
Quick description of it (no spoilers)
Tokyo. Sydney. Beijing. Cairo. Paris. Rome. New York. Los Angeles. One by one, the world’s great cities fell to the zombie plague. What chance does a small, non-descript city in Canada like Edmonton have?
The world as we know it is finished. Civilization has collapsed and humanity is on the brink of extinction. Billions of people are dead, victims of a horrific plague.
Bi-weekly paychecks, Tim Horton’s double doubles, men’s league hockey and cheap winter vacations to Cancun. That was the life Xander Barnes had known for years until a pandemic swept the globe. Efforts to slow its spread or develop quarantine zones, in many cases were too little, too late.
Nowadays, life consisted of avoiding the plague victims, ghouls who had an insatiable appetite…

Forgotten – the second book in the AM13 series.
Quick description of it (no spoilers)
Forgotten follows on from the plot of Lockdown, introducing a selection of new characters. When the zombie virus first started to spread, the Government put everyone on ‘lockdown’, but now that has failed and it’s time for Plan B. Luckily, they have found a sanctuary, completely untouched by infection. All everyone needs to do is get themselves to the airport, unscathed…
Something unique about it.
The AM13 series doesn’t focus on the badass characters, with the skills and mindset to survive something like this. It centre’s around everyone else, the ones who are normally ignored and forgotten about in zombie stories.

Caldera
Quick description of it (no spoilers)
For years, the biggest threat that Yellowstone was thought to offer was in the form of its semi-dormant super volcano. Little did anyone realize the threat was real and slowly working its way to the surface, but not in the form of magma. Lying deep within the bowels of the earth itself, an ancient virus waited. Recently credited with wiping out the Neanderthals, the virus is released within the park and quickly spreads. A desperate plea for assistance reaches the military, but are they coming to help those battling for their lives or to wipe out every living thing in an effort to prevent a second mass extinction?
Join Hatcher and a select few survivors as they work their way through the rustic beauty of Yellowstone, all while avoiding…

The Creeping Dead (Severed Press)
Quick description of it (no spoilers)
It’s the summertime rush in the Jersey Shore resort town of Smuggler’s Bay, as tourists flock to the beach, boardwalk, and rides…but it’s not all fun and games. As a superstorm looms, threatening to destroy the town, something else threatens the Bay…something lurking in the shadows…the creeping dead. As a mysterious infection spreads, the town must pull together if they are to weather the storm and survive a plague of living dead.
Something unique about it.
It’s the Jersey Shore vs. zombies vs. a superstorm. A very character driven zombie novel, this story was inspired by the Jersey Shore community’s resilience against Superstorm Sandy.

I’m working on a series of novellas that I’m planning on editing together and putting out as one huge book when I’m finished.
I’m calling the overarching project The End Of The World Is Nigh.
http://theendoftheworldisnighbook.blogspot.com/
I have written and published two novellas for the project so far.
The Middle Of Nowhere

Why?

Quick description of it (no spoilers)
I’ve always been a fan of the George A. Romero zombie films. Sometimes I found myself daydreaming about what happened in the rest of America when the zombie apocalypse happened. My books are done in that style.
Something unique about it.
I did a crowd-funding campaign offering contributors to buy a spot as a main character in the book. Each contributor would get their own novella which would be part of the larger story…

Survival
Quick description of it (no spoilers)
When Sarah escapes from her brutal abductors, she promises to return to rescue her twin sister, but with the walking dead invading Fort Worth, TX, she is forced to rely on a competitive coworker who made her work life hell for years. With her coworker weakened by cancer treatments, her sister still imprisoned, and zombies looking for an easy meal, Sarah’s only plan, if she can pull it off, is Survival.
Something unique about it.
The main characters are twin sisters with different interests and skill sets. They’re lucky to get set up in a court house with a cafeteria (with a good supply of food and water) and with several sheriff’s deputies. So in the beginning things aren’t as bad for them as it could be. You know…

The Other side of me
Quick description of it (no spoilers)
This is book 3 in the ‘Gone Feral’ series.
The story is set in Gulfport Mississippi during the chemical attack which causes the all mammals to turn ‘feral’. The story follows Eland Matthews, a pastor, as the toxin takes ahold of him and turns him into a killing machine. It also follows several groups of survivors who live through the event and what happens when they fall victim to Elands attention.
Something unique about it.
This is not a classic zombie tale in that the ferals are not true zombies, they are not the living dead. However, the story is true to the zombie theme in that the chemical can be spread through a bite, and the hyped up metabolism requires massive damage or a…

My latest release is also my first full length release titled “This Dying World: The End Begins”
Quick description of it (no spoilers)
This Dying World: The End Begins is a story of a man, Dan Foster, who is desperately trying to save his family from the newly risen dead. This story chronicles his family’s journey across the frozen Midwest towards what he hopes to be safety for his loved ones.
Dan finds himself surrounded by a diverse group of characters from a good natured but fiery nurse to a tomboy sharpshooter. Although told primarily through Dan’s perspective, readers have the opportunity to go inside the minds of other characters – some good, some not – as they also try to survive the beginnings of the zombie onslaught.
Something unique about it.

NAME OF LATEST ZOMBIE RELEASE
TRANSPORT: Uncivil War (Book 3 of the TRANSPORT Series)
QUICK DESCRIPTION
All is not well in the big city of Grand Rapids. Anti-Zombie Loyalists, loyalists of the late William Lettner, have set the city ablaze… Or so thinks the mayor, ruling city council and the military authority. Little do they know, one of their own is responsible for the chaos, planning an overthrow of the city’s leadership, with intentions much like Lettners: eradicate the non-living nuisances, and any of the living who get in the way.
And all is not well for Captain Jacob Billet. Coming out of a 3-month coma, he finds he has changed. Not for the better. With the deceased William Lettner dogging his every move, and knowing his days are numbered, Jake wants to make it to his old homestead before his condition…
