What's In Store for the Plagued Series

I've been getting asked about how long the Plagued States of America series will go, what direction it's taking, and all that. Because I really haven't said much about it anywhere, and I wanted to start blogging exclusively to the Good Reads community, I figured it would make a great first topic.

When I originally set out to write the Plagued series, I had four books in mind. Almost 2 years later, two books are already published (Plagued: The Midamerica Zombie Half-Breed Experiment and Plagued: The Rock Island Zombie Counteractant Experiment), with the third book, Plagued: The Ironville Zombie Quarantine Retraction Experiment, on its way later this year.

In this upcoming, third installment of the Plagued States of America series, we get a chance to return to Tom and Penelope's story (this time told from her point of view), and the Jefferson family's ongoing quest to find their lost Larissa. Tom finds himself in several uncomfortable situations, the first hiding the whereabouts of his sister from his father, and the second, hiding wanted criminals like Hank and Lieutenant Mason Jones when they arrive at Biter's Bend the same day his father does. After days of harassment by his father, Tom finally breaks, letting it slip that he knows where Larissa is. That's when all hell breaks loose, as usual. And, yes, the duck is back.

For the fourth book in the series, things are currently a little out of hand in the "stick to the original storyline" department. I want to change the direction of book 4 by introducing another book ahead of it. That might pan out to five in all, but until I've had some time to flesh it out, keep that on the down low.

Of course, you can check out everything about book 3 at the BHA website, including a sneak peek at the first chapter, cover, and the blurb. One thing that must be clarified before everyone starts wild rumors: the girl on the cover of book 3 is Larissa, Tom's long lost sister.

And, finally, if a finite number of Plagued States of America series books seems a bit discouraging, just remember that I have a Starved series waiting to be written.
