Absolutely loved Apocalypse Cow (bought it because, let's face it, the title stuck out very nicely at the book store) and World War Moo. Just wanted to know what made you go with a cow based zombie novel/series?

Michael Logan Hello Jessica. Glad you enjoyed both. Kind of a long answer to your question. Back in 2006, I was writing serious literary fiction, in short form, and getting rather bored with it all. I wanted to write something fun. I'd always loved zombies, and so decided there was potential in there. One night, in discussion with friends over wine in Budapest, I realized there were no zombie animals. Which, of course, made no sense given the nature of viruses. The cow angle came because I needed a big, bad, dangerous animal of sufficient quantities in the developed world. That is the cow (which kills more people each year than sharks). Everything flowed from the original title - Forget the Cud, They Want Blood, which became the tagline. I do find it funny that lots of people find the idea ridiculous, when it is no more ridiculous than human zombies. Possibly even less so, given our penchant for experimenting on animals. Anyway, there you go!
