What kind of Zombie are you?
You are a Fulci Zombie. The incessant beating of the native drums has awakened you to feed on the living. You're not real clear on why. You feed on living human tissue and can be killed by any sharp blow to the head. Take this quiz!
About me: Hi y'all. I'm an urban fantasy/comedy author of the Amanda Feral series of zombie comedies available from Kensington Books.
In the first book, HAPPY HOUR OF THE DAMNED (IN STORES NOW), an ad exec turned flesheating ghoul searches for a missing friend, high end cosmetics, and people to ridicule. Toss in a few humanity threatening zombie outbreaks and you've got what I like to call: good times. So if you're up for a zomedy--and who isn't--I've got the book for you.
What people are saying about HAPPY HOUR OF THE DAMNED...
"Dark, twisted and completely hilarious. I loved this book!"
—Michelle Rowen, author of FANGED AND FABULOUS
"4 Stars! A truly unique and wildly warped tale!"
—Romantic Times Book Reviews
"Gruesome, ghoulish and utterly groundbreaking. Mark Henry is daring and scathingly funny."
—Jackie Kessler, author of HELL'S BELLES
"Sexy, funny, and twisted. You've never read anything like this!"
—Richelle Mead, author of SUCCUBUS BLUES
"HAPPY HOUR OF THE DAMNED blends the hilarious narcissism of Seinfeld with Night of the Living Dead. Who knew skincare-obsessed zombies were so much fun? I couldn't read this book fast enough." and "Amanda is like Elaine on braiinnnssss!"
-Jeaniene Frost, author of HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE
Next up? The sequel to HAPPY HOUR, ROAD TRIP OF THE LIVING DEAD (coming March 2009)
Also thought I'd tell you about my lastest release.
Banished Hero
With no memory of her past, Faye Lynn Berton clings to a father who curses her ability to shape-shift, then uses her special skill to scam local villagers. The only freedom she knows comes as she soars through the sky in falcon form. A chance meeting with another changling turns her world upside down. Beyond satisfying the powerful sexual cravings that follow transformation, he reveals a surprising dimension of sex between their kind…one to unlock the secrets of her soul.
Havyn Westmore has questions…Faye Lynn holds the answers. Determined to unravel her secrets, he strives to gain her freedom and trust. Teaching her the finer techniques of transformation keeps her close while sex strengthens their bond. But on the trail of discovery, Havyn must confront his own past. Accused of a heinous crime, he was banned from his homeland. Now, he must choose between returning to face certain execution—or robbing Faye Lynn of her birthright and a life in Paradise.
