Goodreads asked Wendy Knuth:

How do you get inspired to write?

Wendy Knuth Once I came up with the idea of zombies for children I looked for contradictions in the zombie world. I did not want the typical green zombie. This led me to come up with a zombie nerd, a teenage zombie fashionista, a zombie baby, and a dirty little boy zombie who loves camping. I had a lot of fun developing these characters, and definitely pulled from my experiences as a parent. It took me quite some time to find an illustrator who I felt could interpret my vision and put it on the page. I am very pleased with the result!
