Book Description:
The red plague has devastated the human
race, turning billions of people into zombies with red eyes and an insatiable
hunger for human flesh. The virus sweeps through the population so quickly a
possible cure is left to rot. Seventeen-year-old Maya Solomon may be the only
survivor who knows where it is. But to reach the lab in Raleigh, North Carolina
she will have to outrun the infected boy tracking her every step and cross into
a city swarming with monsters.
Review:
Excerpt:
A buzzing circular saw
woke me five minutes before my alarm was supposed to go off. Instant, achy
terror consumed me. I scrambled out of bed in my PJs and crouched at the end of
the hall, peeking around the corner into the living room beyond the foyer.
"Dad?" I
hissed.
He stood, hands on hips,
in front of our big screen TV staring at local news.
I sagged against the
wall in relief. For a moment I'd thought... But no. We weren't being attacked
by red-eyed plague victims.
Dad hadn't heard me, but
around and between his arms I watched the agitated news anchor struggle through
her report.
"If you are in a
heavily infected area," the hollow-eyed brunette read off the
teleprompter, "you are instructed to shelter in place. Do not attempt to
travel. Roads and highways are impassable, particularly in Raleigh and Charlotte.
The safest thing for you to do is stay where you are. Lock your doors and
windows and wait for further instruction."
A tiny hiccup of fright
escaped my throat, and Dad whipped his head around. His normally slicked back
blonde hair was dry and messy as if he hadn't bothered to comb it at all.
"Maya," he
exclaimed, pasting on a friendly smile. But under the positive facade I could
tell he was just as terrified as I was. The world was falling to pieces and we
both knew it.
About the
Author:
One of my first memories is dangling over
the arm of our living room sofa telling myself a post-apocalyptic survival tale
in which my mother and I were the last two people on earth. It was so fun, I
never stopped telling stories. In high school, I faked being ill so I could
stay home to work on a novel about a nanny who falls in love with her boss' bad
boy nephew.
As an adult I earned a college degree,
got married, and had a child, but I never stopped writing. It only got more
fun. I wrote through my lunch breaks at work. I wrote on the treadmill at the
gym. Eventually, I had dozens of short stories, novellas, and full-length
novels piling up on thumb drives and in plastic tubs.
Now, I'm ready to share my stories with
you, starting with The Dark Caster Series and the Red Plague Trilogy. I hope
you love reading them as much as I loved writing them!
