ABANDONED. Zombie novel with writer as main character; writer of zombie fiction who was visiting his hometown when an actual zombie rising started

I'm trying to remember the name of a novel (I believe fairly new) that focused on a writer of zombie fiction who was visiting his hometown when an actual zombie rising started.

Phil, can we eliminate Extinct by Samie Sands ?

No response, moving to Abandoned.
