zombies and aliens

Any reader who has enjoyed either of my novels already knows what I'm about to tell you. I'm a horror writer who creates paranormal thrillers. That I am. I'm also a gamer. I've killed way more than my share of zombies and aliens. After all that virtual combat I will offer these thoughts.

Zombies are stupid. Stay on your feet, don't get cornered and don't get surrounded. A gun might be handy, but yo Read more of this blog post »
