Fighting to Survive

The Second Time Around

It has been a long journey to get to this date, November 8, 2011, when the second book in the AS THE WORLD DIES zombie trilogy, Fighting to Survive, finally hits the bookstores. Long ago when I typed out what I thought was a short story and posted it online, I never dreamed it would evolve into a three book series.

You’re walking down a dark alley in the middle of the night. A sexy stranger steps in your path, flashing brilliant white teeth, complete with razor sharp fangs. Your first thought?

A) OMG he’s so hot! We are so hooking up right here and now!
B) So long humanity! The sun is overrated anyway. And garlic bread just gives me bad breath.

Character interview with Roan

What is the best part of being a goblin?
There’s a good part to slowly losing my soul and sliding into being a mindless, gold hoarding beast? If there is it would be that I’ve seen things I would never have even dreamed of. However I’ve also seen things I wish I’d never seen. I’ve left my fingerprints all over history, but not all of them were by choice.

But if she had told me the story that would land me a three book deal with Tor and garner a starred review from Publishers Weekly was about two women fighting to survive in a world filled with zombies, I would have informed her that she was plain nuts.
