Afterword
Thus concludes the tale of how Gunny and his family made it to a safe place after zombies were unleashed on an unsuspecting and unprepared world. Wrongs have been righted, families reunited, a fledgling new society has started putting down roots.
Thanks for sticking through it, the tolerable writing and the parts that had you rolling your eyes. Having just listened to the audiobooks back to back, I cringe at some of the things I heard. This was my first effort at actually putting down ideas on paper and making them coherent to someone besides myself. Mistakes were made in the actual continuity of the tale and of course the very structure of the book. Liberties were taken, facts were bent to what I needed them to be to tell the story. It’s fiction. It’s a zombie tale. There really are bad guys in the world that would try to kill most of us, but I believe the good guys far outnumber them.
If you have had your fill of the Zombie Road world, thank you and I hope you enjoyed it. There are a few loose ends, but nothing that will keep you awake at night wondering about them.
Casey will probably run away from Lakota and never be heard from again.
The weird Anubis Cult probably won’t amount to much. What can a half mad scientist and a twisted group of fervent believers do anyway?
The Deep State government officials President Edmund left in Atlanta will hopefully be eaten by zombies.
Hasif will probably be just fine in the pyramid.
Sheriff Collins will probably have to let go of all the laws on the books and fall back to the simpler times of the American West. Things might get wild.
If you care for more, there is another set of books coming out in 2018 that will shift the focus off of Gunny (and the probably boring life of everyday Lakota Presidential duties) and onto Jessie. I have a hunch that after all he’s been through, he won’t be satisfied going back to school to get his diploma. I don’t think he’ll be happy as a mechanic or electrician or guard. Something tells me the youth of the new world will hunger for adventures of their own.

No email required because I probably hate getting junk spam as much as you.
As always, we Indies REALLY appreciate it when you take the time to leave us a review, whether good, bad or indifferent. It helps drive book sales, helps us put food on the table… or beer in the fridge. Some of us follow the Hemingway doctrine: write drunk, edit sober.
(Okay, like a lot of other attributed quotes in the book, he may or may not have really said that, but it sounds good.)
Have fun, live life, and don’t get hit by a bus.
