Author Description

Uninvited revelers bypass the grave to crash the societal party in and around Norfolk, Virginia. The police and military may be equipped with firearms and other elaborate weaponry but the undead do not require technological advancements or tactical training to get their point across. Armed with bad breath, a serious oral fixation and a butt-ugly mug only an undead mother could love, the zombie seeks to procreate its new, aberrant species by way of the bite. It may inhabit a familiar shell but it is no longer the loved one, the coworker or casual acquaintance it may resemble. It has become a predatory machine that knows neither reason nor fear. But it may not be the only monster on the block... Dead Assets chronicles the effects of the outbreak from several perspectives, as the introduction of lumbering corpses on an unsuspecting public means different things to different people. As the President promises everything will be all right, the governor declares a state of emergency...a sailor is presented with more than just another pretty face during an overseas visit...the dynamics of love, loyalty and friendship are tested and press the envelope with interesting results...for others, the undead may provide a reprieve from the aftermath of a slumped economy...
