The best thing to do is research publishers with open submissions - then follow the guidelines to submit your book. Of course, you'll get some rejections but sometimes that's just because your book isn't the right fit for the publisher. Then when it comes to getting noticed - that's a hard one, and it takes a lot of work, but a good place to start is by sending copies of your books to book review bloggers. Especially the very influential ones :)

I guess because there will always be some that do review. It's an unfortunate risk that you need to take

I love reading from all genres - and bringing something from all of them to my own work so it's a little different. In the zombie/infection genre I love the work of Adam Baker, I also love a lot of eerie horror/thriller and I also enjoy the main characters from romance novels - although admittedly my ones from the AM13 Outbreak series are much less likable!

My books are currently being published by Limitless Publishing...so you will see new versions of them out soon! I'm also working on a short story for a horror anthology and a new full length novel of a new genre entirely :)

Forgotten is the sequel to Lockdown and goes deeper into the zombie apocalypse. I decided to write it a little differently and use 3 characters perspectives. This was a risk which some people have loved and others haven't enjoyed, but I definitely had fun looking through the eyes of a variety of people.
There's Ethan (who's the cousin of Leah from Lockdown) who suffers from OCD - so as you can imagine, he isn't the best at dealing with the AM13 virus.
There's Alyssa, an overly confident teenager who knows that she has the skills to survive - she believes that everyone who has died, has done so through stupidity.
Then there's Dr. Jones - the mysterious scientist who is working on a cure.
I hope you let me know what you think if you read Forgotten. There's currently the opportunity to win a copy of this book at http://thelockdown.co.uk/competitions.
