About the author

Born in 1978, Jonathan Giddinge has always been a creative person. He picked up clay early on and began his first dream of becoming a visual effects artist. During high school, he wrote his first short story and fell in love with storytelling. Mixing his love of sculpting and storytelling, he began to play around with stop motion animation, with Ray Harryhausen, Willis O’Brien, Henry Selick, and Phil Tippett being his inspiration. From there he began to think about directing his own films and he started writing scripts. Once his first script was complete, he was told by a screenwriter to stop writing scripts and start writing novels.
He didn’t take the advice, he wanted to prove the world wrong. After years of writing scripts, he started his production company, 100 Watt Productions and directed an award-winning documentary. It was bad timing; however, the economy had begun to fall apart. He headed back to work a nine to five job and continued to dream and write.
After writing a series of short stories about zombies, with no success, Jonathan took time off from writing before deciding in 2015 to write a full novel based on a screenplay he wrote in 2006. With moderate success, he decide to keep up the writing that he loves so much.
His second novel, The Kings Of Braxton: Warn The Wicked will be released soon.

So, if you ask me, if you're living in a farm house in the middle of the zombie apocalypse, why the hell would you leave your back door open as a matter of habit? Memories of the good old days? Got the screen door to keep the bugs out? Hell, you kinda deserve what you get.
