Nothing
brings the family together like a zombie apocalypse …
Fifteen-year-old
Jeremy Barnes would rather watch a zombie movie than shoot a real one, but he
has no choice if his family wants to survive the end of the world. Their plan?
Drive across the infected United States to a cabin in the Colorado Rockies
without a scratch, but their trip takes a complicated detour in the middle of
Nebraska when they find Kaylynn, a girl who can handle a baseball bat better than
Jeremy can hold a .45 Berretta. And when they stumble into a sanctuary, Jeremy soon
learns that Kaylynn is stronger than she looks—a deadly secret lies inside her.
After
the radio picks up a distress call from Kansas City about a possible cure,
Jeremy’s parents go with a team to investigate. They never return. The only way
to find their parents is for Jeremy and his sister Jewel to rely on a dangerous
girl who might just turn on them at any moment.
Contest Details:
A
while ago, David invited the blogosphere to let him turn one unfortunate
lucky contestant into a zombie for The
Undead Road. The winner was Ilima
Todd, who is now the awesome author of Remake.
The next installment of My Zombie Summer is underway, and David wants to do
this contest again. Want to be in a zombie book? Not only is this your chance,
but it is your choice!
Between
now and next Wednesday, send an email to dpowersking [at]
gmail [dot] com, with the subject line: Zombify Me! Contest. In your email, David wants you to tell him
three things:
1:
The name you will be identified as (example: your first name).
2:
A description of yourself—the more detailed you are, the better.
3:
How would you like the survivors to put you out of your misery?
Four
casualties contestants will be chosen on Wednesday, November 25th. The
most inventive or interesting entry will be zombified! The other three who are unlucky
fortunate enough to survive will be given special honors. Winners will be
announced on December 2nd on David’s
blog.
Prizes?
The winner will be zombified in the pages of My Zombie Summer: Part Two,
receive a signed proof of the novel (when it’s ready), and a $20 Barnes and Noble gift card. The
runner ups will receive a free ebook of The
Undead Road for their Kindle (other platforms TBA).
Thank
you for participating, and good luck!

ReplyDeleteShaun of the Dead is one of my favorites, right behind Zombieland.
I really have to watch Zombieland. I can't believe I haven't seen it yet.
