Thank you so much for allowing me to
stop by to talk about Zombie movies and my latest book, RecruitZ!
I think zombies are so much fun to
watch on the big (and little) screen, and something that I really
enjoy is humor paired with the creatures that are threatening to rip
us to shreds! So on that note, my list of favorite zombie movies
starts off with a few of the funny ones first! But I also love the
more serious take on zombies, and the scared out of our mind type of
outbreak that keeps us on the run! I guess I’m just a zombie movie
addict! So here’s my list of favorite zombie flicks…
Shaun of the Dead
Zombieland
World War Z
Resident Evil
Warm Bodies
Night of the Living Dead
Okay, so now that you’ve heard what
some of my favorite zombie movies are, I wanted to touch on my first
zombie book that I’ve written—except that it’s not! I actually
never thought I’d write a zombie book, but almost two years ago an
idea popped into my head that I just had to work with.
I’d like to think that we would come
up with a vaccine and slay the zombies before we all perished if a
real life outbreak were to occur… (I’m generally a glass is
half-full kind of girl) So that is where RecruitZ begins—after the
outbreak. Only things aren’t as they appear and lives are still
being taken. I get to delve into the world of conspiracies, criminal
threats, and all sorts of fun things in the Afterworld Series, and
I’ve loved every minute of it. Hope you can check out the first in
the series, RecruitZ and thanks again for having me.

Scientists are the new rock stars. The infection has been contained for nearly three months, and the world is celebrating. But humans are still dying. Rebekah Taylor has seen it firsthand. Her husband was killed right in front of her by the very creatures that humans were told they no longer had to fear.
Rebekah is determined to find out who is responsible for the death of her husband and the obvious cover-up. Fueled with revenge, she begins to find answers that lead to one frightening conclusion. The apocalypse might be over, but the battles are just beginning.
I reached across Gavin and began breaking off fingers and slicing
hands and anything I could connect with that was attempting to gouge
at Gavin. Pieces of flesh tumbled into the car.
We’d been vaccinated.
We’d be okay.
The stench of the decaying flesh filled our small car with every
crack of a bone and tear of the skin. Gavin and I were shoving the
arms, bodies, and heads back the other direction, but they kept
pushing through the small driver’s window. Gavin grabbed the bat,
shoving and poking the zombies through the window. The space was so
small it was hard for him to hit with any force.
It wouldn’t be long before they broke the other windows. The first
thump on the roof made me jump and then the second. The metal was
crunching with every step above, and I looked up to see the roof
dipping in places.
The moans grew louder as more arms pushed through the opening,
scraping and digging at our flesh. Fingers with calloused skin grazed
my face, poking at my eyes and scraping my cheeks, but they would
fall from my face almost instantly in search of Gavin. Why Gavin?
Gavin propelled the bat into the crowd with such velocity that he
managed to run it through the stomach of one of the beasts, spreading
the group out momentarily. The zombie collapsed, but the swarm
returned, descending on us again.
I jabbed the knife directly into the neck of the most insistent
intruder and pulled it out, severing the head from the neck. The head
toppled into the car as the body slumped outside against the door.
There was a brief hesitation as they stepped back, and I grabbed the
ADD, removing the pin and flipping the lever. I threw the ADD out the
window, but it bounced against an undead girl in the back of the
crowd. It dropped to the ground with a thud. My heart sank with the
realization the zombies wouldn’t be running anywhere.
