Goodreads asked Derek Ailes:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Derek Ailes My brother and I began working on our next release "Second Journey Into the Unknown" back in April. My story Zombie Con (recently released as a single story) is based on our experiences at Walker Stalker Con Chicago 2014. I thought what would happen if a zombie outbreak actually happened at a Walking Dead convention. One of the stories "The Day of the Redheads" was written by both Mark and I. It is a updated version of my 1994 published short story "Night of the Living Redheads". Furnado is my answer to Sharknado with cats instead of sharks. It is my tribute to the Andy Griffith Show. I had a lot of fun working on that project. There is over twenty short stories in that anthology. It will be released on Oct 1, 2014.
