America 1887 Times have changed. The country that was once booming, growing and thriving is now a wasteland of death and destruction. A sickness has swept through the land and the results have been devastating. The war fought twenty years ago may have caused father and son to pick up guns against one another, but this sickness has caused father to eat sons face off while daughter gnaws on mother's leg. Those that have avoided the sickness refer to those sick as 'rabid'. The 'rabid' are mad. Crazy. They are rotting, mindless, killing machines that want only one thing; to sink their teeth into those that are not 'rabid'. And in doing so cause their prey to catch the sickness and join their rabid mob. As if hiding from the 'rabid' weren't enough of a struggle, survivors must also worry about one another. Decency, honor and helping thy neighbor are a thing of the past. Now it's survival of the fittest and only the strong will make it out alive. Then an old man arrives, recruiting survivors to help him on a quest. A quest to the far west and the salvation that is said to lie there. Join Colt, Ox, Silas, Comanche, Katherine, Charlotte, Frankie and Evangeline as each of them fights their own battle for survival, somehow ending up together on a journey to peace, redemption and possibly..... a cure?

[FIRST DRAFT] Living with the living dead is no easy feat. When April’s missing friend Mason returns home as a zombie with a vengeance, normality crashes and burns. Characterised by a sinister presence and an arsenal of smart-ass retorts, this is a corpse no one wants to mess with. Not even April herself. Trouble is, Mason’s undead status may not be the only problem at hand. With the death toll on the rise and a string of mysterious disasters sparking hysteria in their home-town, it’s clear the pair have bigger issues to deal with than their dysfunctional friendship. A paranoid shut-in at heart, April must battle her multitude of fears and put reason to good use as she sets out to lead the way in an investigation of the supernatural variety. Joined by a shady artist and a smooth-talking mean girl, the teens are ready as ever to tackle the horror and save their town from its impending doom. That is, if they don’t kill each other first.

[EXCERPT - FIRST 5 CHAPTERS] THE FULL BOOK IS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE IN STORES AND ONLINE! Never trust a guy in spandex. In Abby Hamilton's world, superheroes do more than just stop crime and save cats stuck in trees - they also drink milk straight from the carton and hog the television remote. Abby's older brother moonlights as the famous Red Comet, but without powers of her own, following in his footsteps has never crossed her mind. That is, until the city's newest vigilante comes bursting into her life. After saving Abby from an attempted mugging, Morriston's fledgling supervillain Iron Phantom convinces her that he's not as evil as everyone says - and that their city is under a vicious new threat. As Abby follows him deeper into their city's darkest secrets, she comes to learn that heroes can't always be trusted, and sometimes it's the good guys who wear black.
