Author Interview

What is it that makes Welcome to Zombietowne unique in the zombie genre?
Well, it's not really a genre book, per se. It's got zombies in it, and it draws a lot on the rules and the mythology that surround typical zombie-uprising scenarios. But in my book, the uprising happened two decades ago. The world these characters live in is just informed by that. Because there's zombies.

So it's a zombie book.
Yes and no. Like I said, it's got a big zombie element to it, kind of the way Robocop has a big "cyborg" element to it, but it's really about so much more, and dips into so many other categories. There's a bit of fantasy, a bit of drama, some suspense, and it's also kind of a caper. There's something for everyone.

Sounds like your book covers a lot of ground.
Oh, I was still talking about Robocop. But yeah, now that you mention it, that stuff applies to my book, too.

Is it an ongoing series, or just a collection of stories?
Well they made Robocop 2 and 3, but I only like the first two. If you're talking about the TV series, I think it was pretty episodic.

I was talking about your books again. That's kind of the whole point of this.
Oh. Right. Definitely an ongoing series. This is a highly-serialized dark comedy. Each book definitely has its own plot and its own arc, but you wouldn't watch Empire Strikes Back by itself and be satisfied. I mean, maybe a psychopath would, but. You know, I'm going to go on record as saying that if you're a psychopath, feel free to read the books in any order you like, or read only one or two. Everyone else, you should start with Book 1 and go from there.

Is there anything else you'd like people to know?
Yes. I want everyone to know that the scientific name for the Western Lowland Gorilla is gorilla gorilla gorilla. I just think that's worth knowing.
