The Fun of Writing #Zombies: New Anthology

10/25/2021

0 Comments

 
zombie fiction
zombie writing
Writing horror isn't always about blood, guts and gore.
   Sometimes the story has a heart... even if the heart in question doesn't beat any longer.
   My new story, "Of Life, Death and the Krieg" in the just-released anthology, RUN FROM THE DEAD, is a different kind of zombie story.
​   The fun of writing a story like this is getting to create something different, so my story is about the after... What happens after a man is bit by "feral zombies" and finds himself in a new, nightmarish world? What happens when he's dead--but not? Now he's part of a horde... and the horde thinks. And, he realizes, he still feels emotions... even... dare we say, love?
   Another interesting part of writing this story was the anthology had a prompt requiring a certain set of words be included.
   So, read, and enjoy the scavenger hunt! (See photo for list of included words.)
    BUY: Kindle & Print /US - Amazon UK
Amazon CA - Amazon AU

Reading During the Covid-19 Outbreak. #Lizzie Borden #zombies

I heard that Amazon is pushing book mailing down on the priority list right now, understandably, in favor of shipping out other much-needed supplies.

But... if you want something to read and crave a print book, check out Bookshop.org to buy print copies of Lizzie Borden, Zombie Hunter and Lizzie Borden, Zombie Hunter 2: The Axe Will Fall, and have them sent to your local bookstore.  Click the titles for links to both books. Stay safe and healthy!

New #Zombie 'Drabbles' Out Now! #fiction

zombie bites 2 fiction coming soon
Picture
**  OUT now on Kindle - 100 Word Bigger Zombie Bites! Print coming soon.

Cool cover set huh? 

​Great New Year news! First acceptances!

Got word that two of my latest "drabbles" have been accepted!
What's a drabble, you ask? Easy. 100 word stories. Coming out soon!


The stories, "The Comedians" and "Fido, fetch!" are out in 100 Word Bigger Zombie Bites. This is book 2 in the series put out by the Reanimated Writers Group. Oh, and the second book will be as cool-looking and neat to read as the first.

I had fun writing these as it's a challenge to try to stick to that short-short format. The first story, "The Comedians" also is a fun, tie-in to the book covers. Stay tuned for more details!!

New #Zombie Drabble, New #Horror Anthology Review

9/17/2019

0 Comments

 
100 word horrors anthology, zombie
I've got a new story, "A Mother's Love," in the recently released anthology, "100 Word Horrors 3: An Anthology of Horror Drabbles."  

My story is one I've revisited several times in different lengths as the theme is a fun one to write and to see how I can change it. The reviewer at EricaRobynReads seemed to like it, too, and gave it a 5/5 rating, with the anthology also getting a 5 rating. Check out the full review at the link above. 
* Get the Kindle version on Amazon. (Paperback coming soon!)

 Just got a few copies of the second edition of Lizzie Borden, Zombie Hunter to check. Looks good! Will be ordering more to have signed copies on hand. I really like the 5x8 size, too. A little smaller than the large paperbacks. Nice to hold!
   I am so in love with the new cover and the covers for both books! (Btw, covers are by Juan Villar Padron.)
Happy Zombie Reading!
