I just saw this question, sorry! I do plan to add to the series. Asher and Scarlett are my favorites (my dogs are named after them) BUT zombies sell so much better I have to sprinkle other things in when I have time.

I had to replace the narrator unfortunately, but it was finally released this week!

Hi, Birdie! Thanks for asking.
Right now, I'm not sure. I know where I want the characters to end up, but I haven't decided how I'm going to get them there. I'm not much of an outliner when I write, so I sometimes don't even know myself where a story is going when I start it. Even if I do, sometimes it changes. When I started writing Broken World, I had a whole different direction in mind. My novels kind of have a mind of their own, I guess. I can say right now there will be two more for sure. Probably more than that, though.

Kerry-
Unfortunately, they are only available for Kindle at the moment. I had them on Kobo and some other sites for a while but sold 0 books. It's a pain to have them on so many sites when they aren't selling, plus it took my books off the Kindle Unlimited program.

I've had a lot of reviewers compare Broken World to The Walking Dead, which was absolutely expected. But after some strange comparisons, I decided to say something about it. Check out my post on my website:

I CANNOT wait until April 28th for book 4!!! I am a very avid reader and a picky reader, at that. Broken world was recommended to me by another avid reader and for a self published, new author, Kate, you are amazing! Easy to read, fluid story lines. Does it remind me of Walking Dead? Yes, but not in a bad, copy-cat kind of way. I still thoroughly enjoyed reading the first three books and I am on pins and needles awaiting book four. In the meantime, I just started reading "Until the End of the World." Kate L. Mary left a nice book review for it here on Goodreads. Thanks for that!

This answer contains spoilers…
(view spoiler)[Broken World was a from every zombie book, movie or TV show I'd ever watched. It was something I'd always wanted to write because I love survival and end of the world scenarios.
SPOILER for Collision
I got the idea for Collision after watching The Following. I couldn't stop thinking about that serial killer's poor son and how he was handling knowing that his father was a killer. I wondered why the mother even bothered to tell him, then the idea popped into my head. What if she hadn't told him? What if he'd found out on his own? Wouldn't that be infinitely worse?
