The Mavis Saga #3
Zombie Diaries: Prom, Junior Year
Being a zombie, and not knowing it, can be hard on a girl.
ZD3, the third book in the series, ‘Prom Junior Year’, Mavis discovers the truth about herself, while finding acceptable ways to live with what she is and what she does. This new look should also deter the boy’s, at least in her mind. But the opposite happens; Mavis’ goth appearance draws them like flies, and she can’t beat them off with a stick. When things can’t seem to get any worse, there is a new kid at school and funny thing is, he likes Mavis and all things goth.
Ugh!
Author Commentary
‘Zombie Diaries’ is a series I have written about the funny, off-beat story of Mavis Harvey, Girl Zombie. As the introductory novel to the series, readers will get to know Mavis a bit, and they will get a strong sense of the personality of this girl who is slowly turning into a flesh-eating monster.
This is not a horror novel in the traditional sense, and I never intended it to be. What I wanted to do with Mavis and her life was, have fun by asking, ‘What would it be like if a normal, everyday girl were to experience this type of change alone, out of the blue? What if she retained her intelligence and logic, realizing something was happening, but not sure what? How would she deal with it?’ I wanted the book to be light, with a tad of humor, and I wanted it to contain a story that was acceptable for reading for an audience of almost any age.
I didn’t intend for ZD1 to be bloody, or scary. What my vision for Mavis consisted of was something laid-back and fun to read, something that takes an already insane idea (zombies) and turns it into a story that takes away the sting of the same old idea. With that in mind, readers of any age will enjoy the story of Mavis, and they will want to stick this crazy experience out with her until the bitter end.
Unfortunately, as we all are aware, zombies need living flesh to survive, and Mavis will learn that the hard way, with a hard lesson coming at the end of this book. In conclusion, I hope my readers are happy with this breaking through my typical thriller mindset. I have lightened up a bit, so to speak, and I contribute this piece that is appropriate for all teens. It is with great pleasure that I encourage you to enjoy ‘Zombie Diaries’ and continue to follow this tongue-in-cheek heroine as she slowly, but surely, comes to terms with what is happening to her, and what is yet to come. Nothing can really prepare my readers for the crazy fun, and chaos, this girl lives through on her quest for answers.
