  Apocalyptic Appetizer – a second anthology of five short stories set in the universe of Apocalypse Atlanta. Each story looks at a different little slice of the apocalypse as it gets going. Little bite sized chunks of it. A tasty meal ahead of the main course as full-fledged apocalypse gets going.

  Bon appétit.

  The five stories in Apocalyptic Appetizer are also available individually.

  You are what you eat – When a zombie apocalypse starts, everyone has problems. Well, everyone who’s not a zombie I guess. For one student in a small South Georgia town, her problem was zombies don’t respect dietary restrictions.

  Gut Check at the Choke-and-Puke – Lauren is a truck stop girl, just one more service provider riding the interstates and making a living. A layover south of Atlanta turns into more than just a fuel, food, and rest stop when zombies turn up. One thing leads to another, and soon it's everyone for themselves. Lauren has to hold on to both her stomach if she's going to hold onto her life.

  Working with Zed – One of the biggest problems someone faces in the middle of a zombie apocalypse is who to trust. One nine-year-old boy doesn’t have that problem. He knows who to trust.

  His dog.

  Time to Shine – Some people are more ready for the apocalypse than others. The kind of people who others snicker and snort at in normal times, they come into their own when zombies start snacking. Joe is one of those people who get treated like they're a bit too enthusiastic about his hunting and shooting and ready-for-anything hobbies. For him, zombies are just an excuse to step up and get things done.

  Trouble in Paradise – Lounging around aboard a fancy yacht off the coast of Miami Beach might seem like one of the better places to be when the zombie apocalypse kicks off; but what happens when the zombies are aboard ship?

  Author Bio

  A member of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America, David Rogers was born in Atlanta and has lived there for over twenty-five years, with the only interruption between birth and Atlanta being a detour of about a decade into Florida. If you've never been to Florida, let him save you a trip. It's very flat and quite tropical. Oddly enough, Georgia is very hilly and quite humid, so maybe there's not so much of a difference between the two. Except for the hills. And the part about the peninsula.

  Also, it wasn't his fault. His parents made him go.

  Since escaping childhood, David has been a secretary, file clerk, tech support operator, telemarketer, gopher, FedEx truck washer, and office manager. He loves good stories in nearly all forms, particularly novels and movies, though television is gaining rapidly since some of the quality there has shot up quite a lot in the past few years.

  His favorite genre is Science Fiction, because any story is better with aliens or technology added to it. Why tell a mystery in a haunted mansion when you could do it in a haunted space station? Why tell a tale of intrigue set against the nations of Earth when you could set it against the backdrop of a dozen different colonies? In case you're wondering, zombies sort of qualify as aliens.

  He was introduced to zombie fiction by the film 28 Days Later. Everything was going fine, fun little suspense story, until Selena asked Mark if he'd been bitten or cut. When he said "uh", and she instantly chopped him apart with a machete, David thought there might be something to these zombie stories people kept talking about. Turns out, they were right.

  Every Christmas Eve he watches Die Hard and Lethal Weapon, because they're the best Christmas movies ever made. Family, friends, and beating the crap out of the bad guy with your bare hands . . . what more do you want in a Christmas Story? BB Guns? Please, you'll shoot your eye out.
