U is for UDEAD KEV

UNDEAD KEV is a WIP I'm working on, and the sequel to MY ZOMBIE DOG (MG Horror/Humour). I've been amazed and touched by the popularity of MY ZOMBIE DOG. One of the common responses I've received is that readers want more Kev. Kev is Zane's (main character) friend, he's a bit foul-mouthed, unkempt and has lousy ideas, but he is loyal. Well, so far.


In UNDEAD KEV, Zane has to try and 'raise' his best mate from a zombie-induced slumber. It seems to work, but Kev doesn't come back quite right. He's also massively pissed at his best mate for letting him down in the first place. Now Zane has to prove to Kev he can be there when needed. Lucky for him, the opportunity arrises when Kev gets kidnapped by a secret government laboratory... using invisible stealth-monkeys. Can Zane save his best mate and his friendship?


U is also for Undecided.

This week I start a course with QWC, Year of the YA Novel. All I need to do is pick which project I want to work on for this. I couldn't decide. So, I tried free-writing a little on each project. I managed to come up with two more projects to choose from. It might be time to pull one from a hat.

    I like the story idea, especially the stealth monkeys (inspired!).

    I just had a flashback to the howling monkeys in Costa Rica. They were stealth, but loud. LOL

    Hello from the A to Z challenge :)

    I will have to check out Zombie Dog, it sounds awesome! You are probably well aware, but this reminded me of a trailer I saw for Frankenwienie by Tim Burton :)
