In 2011 I teased Ally Blue about me not liking zombies. They just weren't sexy... Although if I wrote zombies they'd be hot and young and looking for their mates. They wouldn't search for brains...
Zombies suck but mine would swallow...
I agreed maybe I'd write a few paragraphs... maybe just a short story... well a novella might work...
Finally, three books in I got to the scene that embedded itself in my brain. A cheerleader with crooked pony tails landing into the arms of a man...
Meet Erick Mc Grath. Here's gender queer and gay. He's walking into Club Zombie. God if his brother was alive he'd have been proud....
Zombies Coming
Club Zombie
is a safe haven for people like Cassidy Frost. Zombies suck—but they’re not
after brains! Forget mindless rotting corpses shuffling along. These zombies
are young, hot, and looking for their mates.
Cassidy,
who wrote everyone else’s happily ever after, had all but lost hope he’d ever
find his own. Every night he sucked until his jaw hurt, praying for his other
half more out of habit than faith his mate was out there. He didn’t dare hope
fate would drop his mate into his lap.
Erick
McGrath stumbled and landed in the arms of a beautiful angel. Though he must be
dreaming, because he learned how cruel and short life could be when he lost his
brother. Despite his parents’ toxic attitude, Erick starts to accept his
nonbinary gender identity. Going to Club Zombie’s Drag Night is his first
attempt at embracing his new grasp at freedom.
But
Cassidy and Erick will have to take risks to have what they desire.
(Zombies Coming is part of the Club
Zombie series but can be read as a standalone for a perfectly happy and
satisfying ending.)
