Inspired by the Walking Dead series.
"Only the desperate hold onto old memories. I say you need a little get up and go."
Robyn, only 15, had to admit her life was messed up. Not in the "I'm a moody teenager, pity me" type of messed up, but in the "people who are supposed to be dead are now walking around, rotting" type of messed up.
Join her as she tries to survive her everyday life - or an attempt at everyday life - hiding and avoiding the dreadful moans and groans of the dead. Who will she meet along the way? Which friends will she gain - or lose?

The Ðying Liƒe. »A Walking Dead Fanfic«
Story starts right after the incident at Hershel's barn but does not follow the story line of the show after that. The main character is a young woman named Nora who at first has developed feelings for Glenn after he was the one who helped get her out of the city. When she realizes she's held on to her feelings too long, she quickly starts to feel lost. Nora is somewhat of a trouble magnet but most of all she just wants to find her place in this new world. Along the way, she finds comfort in an unlikely person. (I do not own the original art for the cover) {I started this story back in December 2011 on Tumblr and although it didn't get the fan following that I had always hoped for, it did well in it's own way. It had loyal followers and I got comments on how much readers loved it. I thought I would try posting it on Wattpad to see what becomes of it. The story is completed on Tumblr and as I bring it over here, I'm also doing small rewrites to the story. There are scenes that I needed to cut out and change up just because my view of things has changed as well and I wanted this story to reflect that. I really hope it finds the same love as it did on Tumblr and if you're interested in reading the original version you can go here:https://newinadeadworld.tumblr.com}Complete

Sort of Dead
**This book features short, fun, snappy chapters** **Perfectly fine as a standalone** [Caution: may pack a couple of gutpunches.] "First things first: this is the story of how I die. Over and over again." __________________________________ Marra is NOT a vampire. He is a normal human, just like you. At least, that's what he tells himself. Life pits him against odds so bleak, that he'd rather die than face them. That's precisely the problem though. He just doesn't seem to . . . die. And now he's headed towards his worst nightmare, accompanied by a grumpy one-armed adult, a quippy spirit, a copperhead nerd, a sassy actor, a beagle, and a corpse. Welcome to his wacky world. Herein lies a hilarious, heartfelt, and first-hand account from Marra himself, ridden with characters to tickle your funnybone, witchraft to bewitch you, and loads of weird but laugh-out-loud stuff. Like, loads. Enjoy. ______________________________________ { Awesome cover by @jaszthewayyoulikeit } #completed ***All rights reserved: Do not recreate or plagiarise.

The Walking Dead Game: Reimagined
This is a retelling of Telltale's The Walking Dead. It will involve some of my own characters and I plan to make it span across all 4 games. This first book will be for the first game. I don't expect for this to be a good story as I don't write too often and I just have had this idea for a while and decided to make something out of it. I will try to finish these books as I have plenty of ideas. It will probably be in first person perspective and it won't be great, expect writing mistakes and I don't know if I will edit often if at all. I just wanted to get my ideas out. I have not much of a clue what I'm doing. I will take ideas from the TV series and the games. Started Feb 26, 2022 at 1:03 AMComplete
