New Reviews!

(Yes, blog tour is still on. See post here.)

 It's great to hear from readers and reviewers! Please do post a review on Amazon and Goodreads when you have a chance. Even a short line helps give the book exposure!

Here are a couple new reviews on the sequel, Lizzie Borden, Zombie Hunter 2: The Axe Will Fall:

In part: (Follow links for the rest.)

"...I loved the way Lizzie’s insecurities, fears and determination make her more real as she tries to solve the mystery, rescue Emma, and fight off the zombie hordes. Filled with exciting and somewhat gruesome action, and an ever deepening mystery that kept me glued to the page until the very end of this well written tale. A fast paced and enchanting 4.5 star read." - Horror Maiden's Book Reviews

"I just love this world that the author has created for Lizzie Borden, Zombie Hunter. Lizzie Borden, Zombie Hunter 2: The Axe Will Fall is a fast paced read that has lots of zombie fighting action that will keep you hooked from beginning to end. I love the combination of the Lizzie Borden story and zombies and the world building is so amazingly incredible. I can’t get enough of it." - The Avid Reader

Great New #Zombie Book Review!

Another great 5-star eview for Lizzie Borden, Zombie Hunter!

"...It follows the facts so well that, even though you know that zombies are not real, it still makes you wonder what if? I guess that makes this a really well written book. I'd definitely have to recommend this book to any horror, history, or zombie lover. It covered all three and is very much worth the read...".Stormi, Boundless Book Reviews

What a Week

Ugh!  It's been one of those weeks.  I've been fighting off a cold for about 3 weeks now, and on Wednesday and Thursday, it hit me like an anvil falling from the sky.  I spent the vast majority of those days in bed.  I think I'm starting to feel better, but only time will tell.

The only news I have to share with you at this time has nothing to do with zombies, but with another book I have coming out.  In May, the sequel to my middle grade book The Ifs will be published.  It's called The Ifs Return.  Currently, the publisher and I are looking for ARC reviewers, so if you're interested, shoot me a message.  Don't worry, the first one will be available if you haven't had a chance to read it.

Here's what the book is about:

“Gage escaped.”

These are the worst words Broden could hear from his big brother Landon—just one day after they battled alongside Slade’s Ifs and his army of forest beasts.

Sure, the brothers had learned to work together to fight and capture the evil If Gage. But, now, Slade has informed them that Gage has escaped!

Fear and distrust have entered the boys’ world. Why should they help Slade if he can’t keep control of his prisoners? Will they be able to fight against a familiar foe? Plus, Landon has more news…

“Gage has magic.”

What kind of magic? Will he use it against them? As the boys are drawn into yet more adventure with the Ifs, they find out just how powerful, and dangerous, Gage’s magic can be.
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend, and here's to hoping next week is "normal"!

YA Book about Demons

It's not zombie related, but it has demons in it, so close.  My publisher and I are currently looking for reviewers for the eARC of my book, Dealing with Devils.  It is the second in The Road to Salvation series.  If you're interested, please let me know and I will add you to the secret group on Facebook.  You can email me at pembrokesinclair @ hotmail dot com or message me on Facebook.

It would be helpful to read the first book, The Appeal of Evil, first.  That way you have an idea what's going on!

Zombie Reviewers

If anyone is interested, we're looking for reviewers to read the ARC of Undead Obsessed.  We have a secret group on Facebook where the pdf is located, so if you're interested, let me know.  My email is pembrokesinclair[@]hotmail[dot]com.

I had a lot of fun writing this book, and I got to talk to various experts in the field.  I'm lucky to live in a town with a university, so I had access to several different professors.  I also got to talk to experts at the water treatment and waste water treatment plants.  I even talked with people at the CDC.  The research  for this book alone was exciting.

I can't wait to share this book with the world.  I'm pretty proud of it, and I hope readers will enjoy it.  Again, if you're interested in checking it out before anyone else, let me know!

Don't be a zombie - review that book!

 

 Yes, it's the thing we all love and/or hate to get - reviews.

Why care? Well, they help other readers decide; they help with ranking on Amazon.

I'm grateful for the good ones that readers so far have given to GIRL Z: My Life as a Teenage Zombie...

Of course, I know there are lots more people who read the book, who said they liked it, and haven't gotten around to doing their reviews, so a gentle reminder! (If you're not a zombie, please do yes do review it!. haaa!)

Okay.... so, what are the readers saying?  Some tid-bits:

"..I really enjoyed this story by Ms. Verstraete because it is so different from so many other zombie stories which look at a more serious form of the disease...dead people walking around trying to eat the living and the living trying to kill the walking dead. No...in this story we see a teenager living with a disease that is not fully understood and also trying to be just a teenager..." - Denise on Goodreads and Amazon (5 stars!)

"...GIRL Z is a different type of zombie apocalypse story, especially recommended for fans of the genre!" - Midwest Book Review. * Read the rest - Fantasy/SciFi Shelf, Small Press Bookwatch   (Book also included in the Cengage Learning-Gale interactive CD-ROM series “Book Review Index” )

"I found this book to be very interesting and well written. It kept my interest until the very last page...   I enjoyed how it showed what Becca was feeling and thinking. You could really tell how she was feeling about being a zombie and how it was changing her on the inside and outside." - Emily, age 16, at LitPicks - 5 stars

  " ...If you've read as many zombie books as I have (I believe I'm up to about 60 now) you may be getting that "been there, done that" feeling. I can guarantee that you will NOT have those feelings with this book. If you're looking for a fresh, fun, and fast-paced New zombie book, download, Girl Z: My Life as a Teenage Zombie! I firmly believe you will not be sorry you did so..."  - Reader Joline on Amazon

  

"GIRL Z: My Life as a Teenage Zombie brings teenaged angst to an entirely new level when 16-year-old Becca is infected with a zombie virus and becomes one of the living dead...
   "Still sentient and able to control the whole flesh-eating cravings, Becca struggles to find her place in a world where some of the dead eat the living while others try to fit into their old lives, only to be met by hostility and fear from former friends and family.
    "Written from Becca's point of view, we get a narrow and very realistic view of this chaotic new world from a self-absorbed teenager's tunnel vision. A very fun and readable introduction to a new series!"  --Dana Fredsti, author of Plague Town & Plague Nation, sword fighter, and actress in Army of Darkness.

“...You can actually look at this story as a parable about the teenage condition. An orderly life is upended by forces and urges that are difficult to control. People you trust can turn on you, and sometimes you feel like you’re going to die. Yep, that’s being a teenager.
  “...Verstraete, whose background runs from journalism to designing one-twelfth scale dollhouse rooms, has come up with a clever way of telling her story from a zombie point of view without sinking to the “Hungry…eat…BRAIINNSSS!” level.... With Girl Z, Verstraete has shuffled to the head of the zombie-lit horde...” – Terrance Mc Arthur, Kings River Life Magazine, www.kingsriverlife.com

"....The story is well written and the timing throughout the story is just right.  As a fan of anything ZOMBIE related, I can truly say that this novel is a much needed “Breath of fresh air”! - Dina B. Reed, "zombie" actress,  One Last Sunset
