Wish you were Undead

Here's the line up for Wild Wolf's forthcoming zombie anthology. Some really big names in there and its a huge honour to be alongside them. Twin teenagers (named Jack and Katie after my nephew and neice) are on one last holiday with their father before they start to do their own thing. When the dead start to rise it might be their last in more ways than one.

The publisher has a few "surprises" lined up and I'll update you as they happen.

TOC for Letters From The Dead

This book will contain letters written by people during the zombie uprising and just before they are killed or maybe even kill themselves. My story is called "The Last Tin." It's about a man fighting two fellow survivors over a last tin of food.
