Here’s a synopsis of the book:

Bryan Suzuki has been obsessed with the end of the world since the first grade. Thirty plus years later, he’s still waiting for the apocalypse. But now he’s got a well-stocked bunker and a family. So when he gets word about a mysterious Ebola outbreak at O’Hare International Airport and an attack at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, he’s ready. He tries to warn his co-workers and his wife who is actually in Chicago for business. The problem? No one believes him. Not even his young teenage son—whom he pulls out of school via gun point. Almost as soon as they get to the bunker, all hell breaks loose. Variants—aka: super zombies created by a weaponized version of Ebola—are on the hunt. Will Bryan and his son be able to survive the coming apocalypse? And at what price?

The Novella got a nice mention over at the Rafu (a Japanese American newspaper): http://www.rafu.com/2016/11/sakai-unleashes-new-zombie-thriller/

This novella takes place in Nicholas Sansbury Smith’s bestselling Extinction Cycle Kindle World series. The books are a culmination of badass military action and well-researched medical science that bring the zombie apocalypse to life in a way never seen before. For those that aren’t familiar with the Extinction Cycle you can check out the six books here. As I have said millions of times, one of my favorite zombie book series EVER.

Romeo & Juliet Vs. Zombies is Available Now on Amazon, iTunes & Audible

rjz_final_audioExcited to announce that Romeo & Juliet Vs. Zombies is finally out! It’s available on Amazon, iTunes and audible. If you don’t like to read or don’t have time anymore, this is perfect you. The book is performed by the amazing Lauren Ezzo and is a little less than seven hours.

Here’s a quick synopsis:

Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona, where we raise our dead.

Romeo – the only heir to the Montague name, a socialite who dreams of making a name for himself as a playwright and the consummate lover; he seems just as famous for his kissing skills as he is infamous for his inability to do much of anything else. Juliet – Capulet heiress, born soldier; in most every way, the precise opposite of Romeo. She’s spent her entire life trying to find some way out of her insufferable life as a noblewoman, and so far she’s had precious little luck. When a black plague breaks out in the city of Verona, these two feuding families are met with far more trouble than a mere feud, no matter how longstanding and bloody that feud has been. In this grim reimagining of Shakespeare’s most famous tragic romance, Romeo and Juliet must form an unlikely alliance if they ever intend to survive being overrun by a horde of ravenous, flesh-seeking un-dead.
