My last zombie release was Z-Burbia 5: The Bleeding Heartland. But, since it is a sequel, I am going to talk about the first in the series, Z-Burbia!
Quick description of it (no spoilers)
Whispering Pines is a classic, quiet, private American subdivision on the edge of Asheville, NC, set in the pristine Blue Ridge Mountains. Which is good since the zombie apocalypse has come to Western North Carolina and really put suburban living to the test!
Surrounded by a sea of the undead, the residents of Whispering Pines have adapted their bucolic life of block parties to scavenging parties, common area groundskeeping to immediate area warfare, neighborhood beautification to neighborhood fortification.
But, even in the best of times, suburban living has its ups and downs what with nosy neighbors, a strict Home Owners’ Association, and…

My latest zombie release is Dead Hunger VIII: Peace, Love & Zombies, starring the always stoned, Nelson Moore.
Quick description of it (no spoilers)
It’s book 8 of my Dead Hunger series, and this book chronicles the outset of the apocalypse that begins in June of 2011 and cruises through 8 novels (so far) to end up in 2028. Yeah. It’s freakin’ epic. Nelson is a stoner, but he’s also pretty damned deep. He’s an environmentalist in a world of rotting zombies; he can’t put away the scooter because it doesn’t pollute, and he is…

Detail orientated the technical accuracy is high; however, a new facility born of a possible conspiracy theory that I extensively researched is born. A conspiracy theory that no one has heard of and something that will make you pause, wondering…

What is your latest zombie release?
Should be ‘A Shrouded World 2: Atlantis’ depending on the timing, or maybe Riley V: The Final Path Home of Zombie Fallout 8 – An Old Beginning if neither of the other two has come out yet!
Quick description of it (no spoilers)
For the sake of this question I will say that ASW2: Atlantis has come out. This is my second collaborative effort with my buddy John O’Brien this one going much smoother than the first I think because we oiled the gears with copious amounts of alcohol for this go around. HEY I’m a writer I’m supposed to drink, it says so in the Author’s Handbook 5th edition. This continues the tale of Jack, Mike and Trip as they travel through a hostile environment each having been ripped from their respective worlds…

What is your latest zombie release?
‘Ghosts: Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse’ was published on 1/7/2015.
Quick description of it.
Ghosts is a 128,000 word post-apocalyptic thriller set in a thoroughly devastated United States. The fast paced romp through the western states features not only hard-charging soldiers in camouflage and body armor taking the fight to their living and undead enemies, but also regular citizens doing their best to survive the zombie apocalypse.Thrown into the mix are strong female characters, a group of younger survivors, and a host of human baddies my readers love to hate.
Something unique about it.
Ghosts and my STZA series in general, appeals to readers of all ages by combining a military themed romp across post- apocalyptic America, featuring stealth helicopters and exotic weaponry, with an intertwined and ongoing story arc that follows a group of civilian…
