I recently sat
down with a friend’s kid to talk to him about zombies. It wasn’t a birds and bees kind of talk to
explain where they came from, it was for a research paper he was doing for
class. He was pulling from different
sources and had wracked his brain trying to find someone legitimate to
interview about zombies. When he told me
that and said I qualified, I bit the inside of my cheek to keep from
laughing. Legitimate? Me?
Oh, I highly doubt that, but I was flattered nonetheless.
He asked several
interesting questions, and even filled me in on some things I didn’t know. The biggest theme that ran through the
interview was “Do you think it could really happen that zombies would rise up?” To be honest, no, I don’t think a zombie
apocalypse would occur. The CDC is
pretty good about keeping infectious diseases in check, and we also have
airplanes and helicopters that could blast the creatures out of the sky. And let us not forget all the civilians who
own firearms. I’m pretty sure we could
crush the zombies before they had a chance to get out of hand.
Still, it’s fun to
think of what would happen if zombies did take over. While I was being interviewed, the question
came up of what I would do if the undead walked the earth. For me, personally, I would get as far away
from people as possible. I would find
someplace isolated and remote that is easily defended. It’s the best way to ensure safety. Besides, the zombie will stick to the cities
where the food source is. Get away from
the prey, and you should be relatively safe.
Both Life After the Undead and Death to the Undead explore different
scenarios of what could be done during the zombie apocalypse. I think one of the most important things to
remember is to use your brain. Zombies
are not smart. They are driven by base
desires. Yes, they have numbers on their
side, but you can out think them…and you should. If you need some pointers and tips, check out
the books!

Book Description:
The battle that began in Life After the Undead continues.
Zombies changed her life completely...
Tough teenager Krista escaped to the safety of Florida after her parents were killed by the zombie horde. She united with General Liet, a distant cousin, and moved with him to North Platte to help build a wall to keep the zombies in the West. Krista fell in love with Quinn, a survivor and fighter from the zombie-infested wildlands of the West, and together they freed the garrison at North Platte from the power-hungry Liet.
But zombies aren’t the only enemy they have to face...
Now, North Platte is free, but Liet was not the only one using the zombie apocalypse to control their people. Florida is ruled by five ruthless Families, who use intimidation and the threat of the zombie horde to coerce their populace. Krista and Quinn hatch a desperate plan to run guns into the state and help the people revolt. Krista and Quinn, labeled as rebels run for their lives when the Families attack North Platte. The Families want them captured, the zombies want to eat them, and other survivors want them dead. Caught in between powerful forces, they must survive long enough to devise a new plan and put it into action, all while trying to solidify their new relationship and trying not to self-destruct in the meantime.
