The Road To Landsford & Con-Tamination

This is my official statement that my novel, “The Road To Landsford” is now available for purchase. I know what some of you might be thinking, yes  have been somewhat pimping this on Twitter lately and I mentioned it the other week here. While all this is true I did say I would be making another post about it so here it is.

Landsford was initially written during the month of November in 2008 for NaNoWriMo and is the prequel for my short story “The Children of Landsford Towers” that appeared in the anthology Zombology: A Zombie Anthology. So in case you haven’t read that story…you should get the book since there are some great ones in there…here is a brief description of Children.

Children takes place roughly 50 years after the uprising happens and deals with an Elder talking to a group of children about the old days. Jake, the elder recounts his vacation to the Bahamas and the children are taken back by what a ocean might be let alone flying in plane. They have lived a life that forced them to stay in the towers left standing in the town of Landsford. The ground below them was controlled by the walkers.

After I wrote that story I wanted to do more and decided to start at the beginning. Sometimes I think I shouldn’t have gone all the way back to the beginning though but I did. In Road you meet Jake when he was 15 and a few other people. I like the way the story turns out but there needs to be more and I just haven’t decided where to go with it yet.

Depending on the response from readers there might be a sequel and if there is it will take place 10 to 15 years after Road and will be entitled The Rise of Landsford. The book after that would be another 10 to 15 years and hasn’t been titled yet. The last book would take place at the time of Children. It all depends if people want to read more. If not I have plenty of other things I want to write but I hope people enjoy it. It’s a zombie book yes but it is more of a people book.

This weekend, June 24 to 26 I will be at Con-tamination in St Louis. If you are in the area come on out, the con is a blast. I’ll be in the dealers room selling books with a table right next to Robert R Best author of Lakewood Memorial, Ashton Memorial and a few other things. Look us up and get some books while you are there why don’t you?
