GET YOUR FREE COPY OF IN THE BLOOD

HERE

When I wrote In The Blood, my intention was to tell a simple, standalone story about a family driven apart by a viral outbreak and the difficult decisions they were forced to make to survive while trying to retain their humanity. I had a blast writing it as I got the chance to tell some of it from a zombie’s perspective. To me the story wasn’t about whether the Robinsons reunited as a family. What was more important was exploring the decisions they made along the way, so that at the end of the story the reader could fill in the blanks and come up with what they thought happened next.
Lo and behold, readers enjoyed the story enough that they started asking me for a sequel. In my mind that was an interesting hypothetical—I’d never intended there to be one. But the demand was there, so I sat down and started thinking about where I could take the story and characters and the larger world next.
And I came up with a few ideas...
So enough with me burying the lead, what I'm really here to say is THERE WILL BE MORE SHORT STORIES SET IN THIS UNIVERSE.
Two of which will be out in December.
I have to thank the readers, because without your urging, these stories might never have existed.
Pretty cool, huh?
All of this has got me jazzed to write a bunch of connected short stories that, when all is said and done, will hopefully form a big sweeping story that spans years and dozens of characters.
At least, that's the plan anyway ;-)
But I can only do that if there’s interest, and the best way to let me know there’s an interest is to leave me a review HERE.

Great Reviews of In The Blood

"This book is different than other zombie books. the struggles that the characters go through were interesting.
This book gives you a zombies perspective. That in and of itself was worth the read."

"Highly recommended if you are ready for a different take on the zombie apocalypse."

"Keep writing Evan, I'll keep reading! Readers, be brave, take a peek at this story and read it all the way!"

"While this is a typical setting for a zombie story, the thing that made this book fresh and appealing were the unique devices the author offered in using the Internet Forum Chat Room as a way to relate information and advance the story. Also, the twist he introduced regarding the zombies themselves was something I had never seen used before and provided a whole new angle I had never considered. Overall, the writing is clear and the dialogue realistic. The horror of the situation is also palpable as the characters are placed in very undesirable positions and forced to make choices one should never have to imagine."

"I really enjoyed this book. This book is a very short read and I didn’t want this book to end because I wanted…scratch that I needed more. I didn’t want this story to end, why you ask? Well because Evan Ronan sucked me into this world of infected people, Jimmy, and Sally."

"Definitely makes you think about what you might be capable of, if your survival was threatened, and your actions were no longer restricted by the rules of society. Grim and forbidding."
