GOOD NEWS!!! The Kindle/Kindle Unlimited and print versions of Tales of the Nurse Alissa Universe have been released. The Kindle version is only $2.99, and the print version is $9.99. 

 

The Nurse Alissa vs. the Zombies saga follows Alissa and her friends' attempts to survive the zombie apocalypse and the anarchy that engulfed society after it collapsed. The characters needed to adapt in order to survive the nightmarish new world.

But the story of the zombie apocalypse is not limited to Alissa alone. Along the way, she encountered numerous people who briefly entered her life, either helping her survive or threatening the safety of Alissa and those close to her. These people had their own apocalyptic events to deal with:
​​​​​​​
-- the nurse and her ten-year-old patient hiding out on the roof of Mass General Hospital
-- the teenage couple who helped Alissa survive the deader attack on the pizzeria in the North End
-- the students and teachers trapped inside the elementary school that Alissa was unable to help
-- the couple who drove Alissa from Revere Beach to Nahant
-- and more.
 
Tales of the Nurse Alissa Universe tell their stories.

Could there be anything worse than a zombie apocalypse?

What about an outbreak involving zombie rats?

Five years ago, the Zombie Virus spread across the globe, nearly causing mankind’s extinction. After four years of battling the living dead, America declared victory, having cleansed them from the countryside or containing them in large cities. Life slowly returned to a new normal.

Until…

In Boston, the virus species jumped from the carcasses of the living dead to the rats feeding off their remains, rapidly creating a pack of over a hundred thousand zombie rodents. These zombies were small, fast, and deadly, capable of stripping the flesh and organs off their victims in ten seconds. When there was not enough rotted flesh left inside the containment zone, the dead rodent army followed their instincts and rained down a new plague on mankind.

If the living dead were a nightmare come to life, zombie rats are the darkest images burrowed deep inside its recesses.

The Rats Are On Their Way

 

Preview of My Latest Novel Ratpocalypse

I'm finishing up my next project, a novella about zombie rats titled Ratpocalypse. I hope to publish it this spring. In the meantime, here's a preview of the lightly edited prologue. Enjoy

Prologue

  

It started five years ago with the first reported outbreak of the zombie virus near Wuhan, Hubei Province, China.

Within three days, the outbreak spread to the surrounding provinces. Beijing prohibited domestic and international flights in and out of China.

Two days later, the virus erupted in Mongolia, Siberia, Kazakhstan, and Myanmar. Air travel worldwide was suspended.

By the end of the first week, every nation reported instances of the zombie virus.

By the end of the second week, the virus had infected all of society. Billions were turned from the living to the living dead. Major cities collapsed within forty-eight hours. The virus then moved to the suburbs. Fortunately for mankind, it did not reach the countryside for several weeks, providing safe havens for those fleeing the outbreaks and allowing enough time for mankind to mount an effective defense and eventually halting the outbreak.

Nine months after the first reported case, pockets of humanity began to fight back, exterminating the living dead and slowly retaking lost territory. The discovery in Boston of a zombie virus vaccination that prevented those being bit from turning into the living dead provided the advantage mankind needed to wage war against the living dead. Several nations, including the United States, opted to isolate the major cities rather than retake them, realizing the risks far outweighed the minimal gains. The government-in-exile in New Mexico made the decision to wait several years, let the hordes in major population centers rot away, then cleanse the cities of the once-human detritus.

Ten months ago, the last of the living dead in North America outside the isolation zones was eliminated. No outbreaks occurred since then. News from around the globe, though minimal because of the loss of satellite communications, indicated other nations had achieved the same level of success.

For the survivors in the United States, a sense of ease settled over the rural populations. Then began the struggle to rebuild their lives. Townships sprouted up, and people lived as their ancestors had generations ago—growing their own food and producing the materials they needed to survive by hand. Civilization slowly returned to normal.

What no one foresaw was the new nightmare about to unfold.

Animals had remained immune from the zombie virus. Millions had been bitten or devoured by the living dead, but none had reanimated. Within months of the initial outbreak, major population centers had been overtaken by colonies of rats, in many cases numbering in the millions. With humans gone, and with no trash to feed on, they burrowed into apartments and homes in search of anything edible. Little remained. Once the typical sources of food had been devoured, they began feeding off carcasses of the living dead that had succumbed to time and starvation, and sometimes on those still staggering along the streets. Inspection teams sent into Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City reported rats stripping the bodies clean, which would make the humans’ job easier when the decision would finally be made to reclaim the cities.

However, in Boston, an unforeseen event occurred in a possible yet highly improbable scenario.

The zombie virus species jumped from one of the corpses to the rat feeding off it.

Once the rat morphed into the living dead, it began consuming the only other available food: the rest of the colony. The virus rapidly spread among the rodent population, creating a colony of several million zombie rats in desperate need of food. With nothing left in Boston to feed on, the colony had only one option.

To migrate out of the city in search of sustenance.

The route they must travel to Lisa’s place goes through dangerous and heavily infested areas, including the nation’s capital.

For those of you who are fans of my Nurse Alissa vs. the Zombies series, check out The Chronicles of Paul: A Nurse Alissa Spin-Off. The second book in the series will be coming out this fall.

No one said the end of the world would be easy, especially when your former lover is lost in the middle of it.

Paul Madison is on a business trip to Pittsburgh when the zombie outbreak erupts. As the living dead fill the streets, he abandons the idea of sheltering in place and attempts a six-hundred-mile trek to his fully stocked cabin in the New Hampshire mountains. Part of his reasoning to head north is his concern for his former wife Alissa, who is a nurse at Mass General Hospital in Boston.

Though Paul expected the journey to be dangerous, he had no idea of the nightmares he would encounter. Will he make it to his mountain cabin before society collapses around him? Will the strangers he encounters along the way be more of a liability than an asset? Will he find out what happened to Alissa?

Follow Paul on his adventure in the middle of the zombie apocalypse.

Nurse Alissa vs. the Zombies VIII: New Beginnings Will Be Released on 15 March

The good news: Nurse Alissa vs. the Zombies VIII: New Beginnings will be released on 15 March!

I'm wrapping up the last two chapters and should be finished with the first draft by the end of the weekend. Then it goes to my beta readers for review and hits the final rounds of edits. This novel will be about 65,000 words, a lot larger than the previous seven books, which is one reason getting into print has taken longer than anticipated.

So be patient. The saga will continue soon. I'll let everyone know when it's available for pre-order.

Until then, here are a few small previews to entice you.
