Unless you’ve been sleeping in a cave for the last few months, you’ll be well aware that I’ve been working hard on a brand new series called Infection Z, a new post apocalyptic horror that fans of Dead Days are sure to enjoy.

The first book in the Infection Z series chronicles the journey of Hayden McCall, a layabout waster in his mid-twenties who is thrust headfirst into a dangerous and violent world where all that matters is survival. Forced to give a shit about something other than his overdue rent, Hayden must step up for the first time in his adult life on a treacherous journey. As he meets new friends and encounters dangerous foes, Hayden is forced out of the comfort of his bedsit and onto an unpredictable adventure of survival and self-discovery.

Infection Z is a new zombie series in a different “world” to the Dead Days series, packed with twists, turns, character dilemmas, heightened emotions, page-turning suspense and nail-biting horror. Oh, and zombies. And gore. Plenty of it. I foresee it as a long journey and a series I’m going to spend a lot of time on, with four books scheduled for release in 2015 alone, the next of which will be out next month. Yep, IZ 2 will launch just a month after the first book, and is already available to pre-order. Don’t say I don’t ever treat you…

Infection Z is available right now for Amazon Kindle. As a special treat, it’s only 99c for the first week or two on sale, before heading back to its RRP of $3.99. Kindle Unlimited readers can pick up the book as part of their subscription. Other platforms will launch later in the year.

And here’s the covers for the first two books. I absolutely love them both. They capture the essence of the series so well. And how damned unique are they?! Amazing. I love this series and I know you Dead Days fans will love it too. As much as I adore Dead Days, I wanted to stretch my creative muscles (yep, us writers do have ’em) in a completely new world with slightly different rules. Plus it’s even better for you readers as it means you have two zombie series to keep up with instead of one, both of which evolve from similar roots to be very, very different…
