Blurb:
Strangers, Riley and Graham sheltered together in a basement storage unit when the zombie outbreak slammed into the world three months ago. They lived through the first blast of the plague, but they may not last much longer among survivors scrambling for dwindling resources. They agree to hike from the city and to the safety of the mountains. They didn’t count on the storm they hoped would cover their exit developing into a Nor’easter, though, and they sure didn’t think their visibility would shrink so badly that they’d hike into the leading edge of a zombie swarm, either. In the chaos of escaping the ravenous horde, they are separated, with Graham racing toward feral dog packs to the east and Riley sprinting to hostile survivors hunting them to the west.
Nobody said finding and keeping a quality guy (alive) during the apocalypse would be easy.

The book sounds great! Can't wait to read it :)
ReplyDeleteFor hand to hand combat. I'd probably go with a sword. easy to swing and not very heavy to carry around all the time!
staceyprice(AT)gmail.com
Finding a usable sword is the problem. Most around nowadays are for show, not for utility as a weapon and aren't very durable. My creepy grandfather (not to be confused with my sweetheart of a grandpa, lol) had a sword collection and only one of them would've been good for weapons use. Heavy SOBing thing. ;-)
DeleteSince it's a post-apocalyptic world, I guess a fuel and flame thrower is out. It would be a sturdy curtain rod, due to it being lightweight yet strong. Also, it has a longer reach.
ReplyDeletestrive4bst(At) yahoo(Dot) com
If I could have any weapon of choice regardless of whether or not I have the knowledge to use it or the strength I think I would like to go with a bow and arrow. If that was taken off the table I'll probably go with the most common and plentiful thing to grab kitchen knives and/or a large tree branch(after all not everyone has a bat). I only hope that I'll be around either when the zombie apocalypse hits.
ReplyDeletehumhumbum@yahoo.com
Plenty of Louisville Sluggers around. ;-p
DeleteGot to follow my middle son's advice and opt for a Fire axe as weapon of choice. According to him it's the best thing to use against Zombies :D

LOL! Sooooooooooo not going to disagree. :-D
DeleteI just had to ask my husband what he thought would be the perfect weapon, as he is my zombie apocalypse go-to guy:
ReplyDelete"Hmmm. I'm all for a sturdy crowbar. Difficult to break. Good skull crushing. And handy for gaining structure access. Would have to say a sling blade made from a lawnmower blade would be handy also."
So, yeah, my first thought was something quiet to hit with, but I was with Jbst, I want a flamethrower, or as Kari says, a bic and hairspray, in a pinch!
caroaz [at] ymail [dot] com
Crowbar is, according to the Zombie Survival Guide, the multi-purpose weapon of choice. :-)
DeleteI'll be a zombie of course. My hand to hand weapons of choice will be two razor sharp sickles, so I can harvest my human snacks with ease. Plus, sickles are cool looking! Thanks for more zombiesque fun!

I've got this picture in my head of you looking kinda like Michone from The Walking Dead -- COOL. :D
DeleteThank you for the opportunity to win! Congratulations on your recent publication, Kari! (No need to enter my name for the decal, but some of the preceding ideas folks have are very smart.) Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSorry for my comment confusion! Defense weapon of choice: baseball bat. Thanks!
DeleteThanks! :-D
DeleteI don't think I will do do very good in a zombie apocalypse. But, I guess my choice of weapon would be a wooden baseball bat, with some nails in it. Plus, a machete for backup!

Ooh, nails. O.O OUCH. Of course, zombies are dead, but nonetheless. Yow. That'll do some damage. ;-)
DeleteI think a flame thrower, wouldn't want them to get to close :)
ReplyDeleteanzuazuara at yahoo dot de
I'd go for a rocket thrower, like the one seen in Buffy season two, when she fights a demon, that couldn't be killed my a forged weapon.
ReplyDeletegalaschick78(at)gmail(dot)com
Well I would like to choose magic as weapon, since we are in the realm of fantasy, already ^^
