The Church- an update

My first novel, a zombie tale called The Church, is being edited by the wonderful Louise Bohmer for The Library of the Living Dead Press.

It's the tale of a man stuck inside a fortified church after the zombie uprising. The church is controlled with an iron fist by a mad reverend and his "disciples". Are the real monsters inside or outside The Church?

I'll use the blog to give some updates of how we are getting on.

Louise has just sent back the edits for chapter 7. I cant begin to explain how good these edits are, taking my story to a much higher level. I was silly enough to think it was fairly well edited before but its more than a little embarrassing now seeing how many mistakes there are!

Zombology II

My very first published story has now appeared in Zombology II. Hunger is the story of a thief trapped in a jewellers surrounded by the undead. With no food the growing hunger drives him crazy with a deli in plain view just across the road. I'm so proud to be in this great book. Hopefully everyone who reads this anthology will enjoy it.

All new to this

This is my first attempt at a blog so apologies in advance! I have a few stories coming out in the next year including my first novel and hopefully this site will provide updates and news.
