Blurb:
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!
