Perfect for Walking Dead fans huh...that's me so I'll have to check this book out. Hope the film adaption stuff works out.
As for your question if a few lives ruined worth it to save a million...not if the word ruined means killed. What if one of those lives could have been the one to cure something even bigger or end all wars. A question like that has so many implications.Oh also, I ordered a sample of your book for now. I had to cut myself off from book buying so I could do what the season was made for...gift giving :O) Oh and snacking while doing that :O)~

I look forward to reading the sample and yes "Tis the season and Happy Holidays to you as well :o)I imagine you're a Walking Dead fan, if you have any say so in which direction your story gets put to film, would you rather see it put into a series like The Walking Dead or to a movie like Land of The Dead or Dawn of the Dead? Also, Greg Nicotero kicks butt so you will have to get him in on it as well :o)
Fred C. Caruso, Producer of David Lynch's "Blue Velvet", HBO's "The Rat Pack", and associated with such films as "The Godfather" and "Once Upon A Time in America" has optioned the motion picture rights to Cure, runner up in the General Fiction category of the 2012 Halloween Book Festival.
"Creepy and claustrophobic, with enough gore to please any zombie-phile, Frisch's book begins promisingly. Her omniscient narrator takes particular joy in the visceral details of horror, tweaking the reader's senses with a bevy of bodily fluids and dismembered limbs." -Kirkus Reviews
Welcome to the Nixon Healing and Research Center, playground for the maniacal Dr. Howard Nixon whose cancer research has him dabbling in the undead, and the women of Strandville disappearing. Unable to cure the lethal infection which turns its victims into mindless, flesh-hungry mob, Dr. Nixon discovers a medicinal use where the side-effects may be worse than terminal cancer.
Desperate for a fresh start after her painful divorce and the stillbirth of her first child, Miranda Penton accepts an unexpected job offer to join Nixon's security team, but her recruitment is no coincidence.
Nixon inseminates Miranda with a zombie fetus and holds her hostage, but her imprisonment is short-lived. A rescue team of locals led by her estranged ex-husband releases not only Miranda, but the infection on an unsuspecting hospital population. Miranda wrestles with the uncertain outcome of her pregnancy while trying to get away with her life.
The virus is spreading and must be contained. The center is going into lock-down. The group's get away is threatened by a homicidal security guard and a raging storm. The town of Strandville is ground zero for the zombie apocalypse and Miranda must escape because the fate of humanity lies with her unborn child.
In Strandville, there are worse fates than becoming undead.
