What’s the series about? “Dr. Ian Scott has spent two years in a Colorado bunker, working on a cure for a zombie virus that devastated the U.S. Just shy of perfecting his vaccine, he loses contact with the West Virginia bunker housing his fiance, Jen. Now he and a small band of soldiers and scientists must cross what's left of the country, surviving wild animals, natural disasters, desperate humans, and the ever-looming threat of a resurgent zombie outbreak.”

The Triangle of Belief - On Sale Now
THE TRIANGLE OF BELIEF is available now in paperback and for Kindle, Nook and Kobo.
Normally, I would have waited until later in the year to release this (as is the usual procedure following a hardcover release) but the world is on fire right now, and I figured you folks could use the distraction.
Here is the description: In January 2018, best-selling authors Brian Keene and Mary SanGiovanni witnessed a group of unidentified flying objects over their home. That encounter with the unexplained forms the basis for this honest, revealing memoir-styled treatise on faith, religion, the occult, atheism, agnosticism, science, and the supernatural, as World Horror Grandmaster Award-Winner Brian Keene takes the reader on a journey through his own belief structure, revealing how it has influenced him as both a person and as a writer, impacting everything from his lifestyle choices to the books he's written. Regardless of your own individual experience, you'll find yourself pondering THE TRIANGLE OF BELIEF.
