Ever get picked last in gym class?Okay. Maybe you didn't. But I did. All the damn time. And it wasn't because I was ugly or wore stupid no-name-brand clothes or couldn't see for shit. It was because I sucked at sports. I still do, actually. Except for 8 ball. I can still sink those, on occasion.Just before Christmas, I was approached by author
L.L. Akers to be a part of this semi-exclusive, semi-reclusive clan of ruthless authors of the apocalypse, who now call themselves the DD12 - The Dirty Dozen Post-Apoc Army. It was the end of the beginning for me. I was flattered to get the invite. Until I found out I was #12. Then, I was hurt. But I got over it quickly. We have big plans for our readers. HUGE plans.We're not Skull and Bones, or some other secret society of lunatics bidding for the ownership of the universe and rule over the planet.And we have no intention of cornering the market or tarnishing the images of other great PA authors out there. That's not our style, and I don't give a damn what you hear or what's rumored. We're just a group of some fully self-published, some hybrid authors attempting to do what's best for ourselves and for the genre overall. And we don't plan on quitting any time soon. We even took a blood oath.The team? None other than:
Angery American - a name that needs no introduction. Best-selling author of the Going Homeseries
G. Michael Hopf - a USMC veteran and best-selling author of The End
Boyd Craven - lunatic and author of over thirty books. Best-selling author of The World Burns series
Steve Konkoly - USA Today Best-selling thriller author (and all-around nice guy)
Steve Bird - farmer, pilot and author of The New Homefront series
Tom Abrahams - proud Texan and best-selling author of The Traveller series
Franklin Horton - best-selling author of The Borrowed World series
L.L. Akers - the brains behind the blonde - author of the SHTF series and the only REAL prepper in the DD12. (well, maybe besides A. American)
Chris Pike - another proud Texan, the only true lady of the group, and author of the EMP Survivor series
Mike Sheridan - my Irish brother from another mother, and author of the No Direction Home seriesand me, C.A. Rudolph - best selling author of What's Left of My World, blogger, friend, faithful companion, husband, father, and lover of all things that go pew pew pew.And yes, we do bite.
