Previous Stupid Zombies titles had performed extremely well in the charts and with user retention, though less successfully with IAP conversion. However, I know I'd find the same joy in reading this novel no matter where it takes place.īravo to the author for intelligent and thought provoking writing! I can't praise this new take on the zombie/undead genre enough! I am eager to read more about Jane, Schrodinger, and their intriguing shadow.Stupid Zombies is GameResort’s most popular franchise, and after working for a year on Adventure Beaks, it was time to capitalize on its success, once again. That made it a thoroughly fun read for me. I lived in Vancouver for several years, so every street Jane traversed was familiar to me. I enjoyed that the setting was a Canadian city after reading a majority of stories in this genre set in the US. I find the best thrilling survival stories work when the characters themselves are in the dark in their search for answers, so that the focus of the story falls on their evolution through survival. I don't always want the answers given to me upfront. The element of mystery is a HUGE plus in enjoying reading any apocalyptic novel. I can't wait to read more about him in the next book. I guarantee you, that while the zombies creep you out, her brooding shadow guy is an entirely different kind of delicious and intriguing puzzle. An ultra-creepy, unwaveringly attentive, broody bad-boy-vibe person/zombie that Schrodinger doesn't indicate is a threat, so Jane reluctantly lets tag along until more of the mystery is wonderfully revealed.Īnd even then we don't get all the answers. While traversing the changed landscape of Vancouver, Jane and Schrodinger find themselves shadowed by one of the creatures. Jane's experience with the changed citizens is downright spooky. Just when it seems Jane is one step ahead of understanding their behaviour, something new and frightening happens to alter her perceptions. The author brilliantly writes them as a thought provoking mystery to be solved. The unnatural state of the transformed citizens of Vancouver is a terrifying mystery to contemplate. The author ups the creep factor from 1 to 100 in this fast paced and suspenseful read. These undead (or were they ever dead in the first place?) creatures will put icy chills down your spine. And you definitely want to stay at least 6 feet away from something that wants to kill you.ĭon't go into reading this thinking that Three Days in Undead Shoes is all about brain eating zombies. from zombies is a pretty solitary experience. Holmes' take on the zombie apocalypse genre is so refreshing! It's set in a time post-pandemic, but the pandemic is only mentioned in reference to Jane's coping skills resulting from her personal experience of navigating isolation. Jane and the dog emerge from a windowless University research facility to a complete unknown, and must navigate a strange, deadly, and eerie new reality to reach the safety of her father's shelter. On the day she goes to adopt her Great Dane, the lovely and adorable Schrodinger, an apocalyptic event hits the city. Jane is a dog trainer living in Vancouver, British Columbia. My heart is beating from the thrill ride, and I can't wait to hop on board for more. One chapter in and I knew I wouldn't be able to put this shining gem down. When I’m not creating, I’m enjoying a long walk with my giant doggo, or shooting some monsters in a co-op video game with my husband.Ībove all, I love crafting exciting tales that pull at your heartstrings-and maybe your pant-strings-stories which excite and sweep readers into new worlds and leave them wanting more. I might have started with my own, but now I craft carefully branded, personalized covers for many authors.Īside from authoring and drawing, I live with my husband and our Great Dane, Fable (aka Mistress of Menace, Duchess of Oof, the Terror Beast) in beautiful Vancouver. Decades of creating imagery in multiple mediums and the desire to see my characters brought to life led me to create book covers. I’m not only an author, I’m a visual artist. Sometimes created while appreciating a fine rye. Fantasy, science fiction, paranormal, romance and geekery abound-and they're holding hands with opinions. I love complex worlds and even more complex characters. Whether battling fantastical odds, facing science fiction dilemmas or nursing a supernatural heartache, they challenge expectations and change their worlds. They don’t sit in some narrow, boilerplate box and do what they’re told-they break the laws of their worlds, defying everything for what's right and for true love. The characters I care about aren't content with the status quo.
