| This is a very timely read. A few years ago, the idea of an established democracy turning to authoritarianism with people being persecuted because of their beliefs, backgrounds, or vocations would have definitely felt like dystopian fiction. Not so i ...more | |

Sorry - I didn't spot your question.
Yes, it's the same overall universe as the original series, but as I wrote it post-Covid, it felt natural to mention the pandemic. Regardless of when the original books were written (2000-2013), anyone who reads th See Full Answer |

“Surviving is one thing," he said quietly, his voice suddenly calmer, "but you've got to have a reason to do it. There's no point in living if you don't have anything worth living for.”

“I never get enough of the adrenaline rush of hearing good music played live and played loud like this. Hearing these songs again snatches me out of the day-to-day and helps me forget all the things I usually waste my time worrying about. As long as the music's playing I don't have to do anything except listen, relax, and enjoy myself.”

I am so so so excited to read “One of Us Will Be Dead by Morning”! I love the Hater series because it’s so different, in that people get weirdly aggressive and are a new breed of..monster? I enjoyed this series much more than the last couple books of Autumn series! I think your writing is getting better and hooking me in!! Just wanted to say Thanks!

Thank you very much for accepting my Friend request. I've only read "Hater" so far, but man, WOW! I sometimes feel like that split is actually happening around me. It is, I guess, to differing degrees. Everybody figuring out how the person next to them is different than they, and then fighting about it! Awesome book, and I look forward to all of your other books. All my best,
Cedric
Thanks Veronica. Hope you enjoy Aftermath.I've got a few things planned now that the Autumn and Hater series are both done. Can't say much right now, but I hope to make some announcements very soon!
Hi David! Just got my copy of Aftermath in the mail and I can't wait to start it. I wish it wasn't the last one :( What do you plan on writing about now that the series is over? Well whatever it is, I can't wait to read!
Wow, I never got a notification that you had replied David so sorry for the late response.I enjoyed the film as it was very atmospheric and the build up of tension was portrayed well. I find that's quite rare in British film, especially within the horror genre. Of course, I'm a complete sucker for anything zombie related and the horror channel is a firm favourite of mine. I'm sure the book will better though :-)
I'm trying to avoid the library as have a few things to read first and everytime I go to the library I always end up leaving with an armful of books, but I know your books are there on the shelf so can easily grab them.
Thanks Angela, it's great to hear you're giving the books a go!Lots of people didn't enjoy the Autumn movie (I have mixed feelings about it...) so I really appreciate the positive words.
Thanks again!
Dave
Hi David, I watched the film version of 'Autumn' yesterday from when I'd recorded it from the Horror Channel and really enjoyed it, so much so that I plan on securing a copy of the book in the library along with 'Hater'. I know generally that the books are better than the films so I'm looking forward to reading it. Angela.

Sent my dad a copy of Autumn to keep him busy during some recent hospitalization...talked to him yesterday and he couldn't put it down! Pretty sure I've got him hooked :) Figured you should be kept up to date as I harass everyone into reading the series :) hahah
Sharon wrote: "Hi ya, when is the Autumn: Purification re-release due and is it going to be available on Kindle?"Hello Sharon!
Purification is out in April in the UK, and August in the US. There's a new Autumn website launching in the next couple of weeks with more information and loads of free Autumn stories. I'll update Goodreads when it goes live.
Brandon wrote: "I love the Autumn series. The first book actually inspired me to explore what would drive a person to want to survive a zombie apocalypse. I figured I should use my degree in philosophy for someth..."That's very cool! Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the books.
I think I need to STOP thinking about the end of the world now. I think I'm addicted (and I don't have the excuse of having a philosophy degree to fall back on!)
Thanks again, Brandon.
