In one day, the world succumbed to a pestilence that decimated the living. In its place rose a new species: vicious, gruesome, wandering zombies with an insatiable hunger for the living. Still in her twenties, Cash has watched her friends die, only to walk again. An office worker with few survival skills, she joins up with Clutch, a grizzled Army veteran with PTSD. Together, they flee the city and struggle through the nine circles of hell, with nothing but Clutch's military experience and Cash's determination to live. As they fight to survive in the zombie inferno, they quickly discover that nowhere is safe from the undead...or the living. (100 Days in Deadland is a journey through the first poem in Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, the classic tale on the horrors of hell... zombie apocalypse style!) (Note: This is a draft so please excuse any errors. The finished novel is available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook).

Staff Sergeant Tony Jimenez thought the worst thing he'd face was another brutal overseas deployment, until a fast-moving virus begins turning people into horrifying violent monsters. As society collapses in a matter of days, Tony and a small group of survivors retreat to a remote mountain cabin, where every decision, every bullet, and every second could mean the difference between life and death. With the infected closing in and the clock ticking on every bite, survival will demand far more than military training-it will demand sacrifice.

The lights died first. In the days that followed, the summer heat became unbearable, food spoiled, cities unraveled, and a strange gray ash began to fall from the sky. By the time the truth was discovered, it was already too late. As civilization collapses beneath an ever-evolving infection, survival demands more than strength-it demands sacrifice. In a world where every breath could be your last, the greatest threat may not be the infected, but what humanity becomes to endure.
