What to do during the apocalypse
Aside from planning a vegetable garden to supplement my supply of M&Ms…
I don’t anticipate leaving my blanket fort (where I write and work on audiobooks) until about two weeks post-Vaccination Day. So looking forward to Vaccination Day!
Wee Beasties will kill me if they catch me outside so here’s how I’m spending my days in isolation:
I’m making a concerted effort to drink more water and work out daily. When in need of comfort, I make a mean focaccia. Not too much or too often with the bread. If I do that, why bother with exercise? There’s plenty of ways to get a heavy sweat on without venturing out into the Badlands. These walls are my world.
I figure a lot of dudes go to prison and come out buff. That’s my plan.
How are you spending your time in isolation?
P.S. If you’re looking for something fun to read, AFTER Life: Inferno, the first book in that zombie apocalypse trilogy is free today (April 3, 2020).
The new zombie apocalypse: AFTER Life
Have you picked up the AFTER Life trilogy yet? Here’s why you should!
When military research is accidentally unleashed, the world’s future is a stake. Your future is at stake.
The new zombie apocalypse launches where nanotechnology, brain parasites, and corporate greed meet. Fast-paced, action-packed and witty, this nightmare seems all too plausible. The technology that spells our doom or salvation awaits in the very near future.
Check out AFTER Life, Inferno, Purgatory and Paradise on Amazon and keep the lights on for your next binge read!
AFTER Life INFERNO is launched!
The deep vaults of a virology lab have lost containment.
They will call this Apocalypse.
We call it Revolution.
From the author of This Plague of Days comes a new zombie apocalypse trilogy about nanotechnology gone horribly awry.
AFTER is a biomimetic stem cell capable of enhancing intelligence, health and longevity. Weaponized using brain parasites, it becomes an agent of biological warfare capable of transforming 70% of humans into rampaging killers. No one is safe. Take a deep breath. Get ready. Fight to the death. You might even have to fight beyond death.
Torn between regret and heroic aspirations, Daniel Harmon is a noob whose job is to stop the monster epidemic before it begins. As his Emergency Task Force moves in to secure the Box, the body count rises. A dark conspiracy at the crossroads of corporate greed and science will change our fate forever.
The Revolution has begun. On which side will you fall?
