![]() ![]() ![]() For me, as a zombie fan and an author of zombie books and stories, that’s at least one positive aspect of the past several years. They say that the increase in popularity of zombies can be tracked against worsening economic circumstances the stock market takes a dive, zombies start to rise. ![]() But I kept writing anyway because my husband had suggested “Write what you love,” and what I loved was the idea of surviving in a world that’s so irrevocably different from the one we live in now where the existence of the walking dead isn’t an accepted reality.īecause really, aren’t we all-teens and adults-still trying to figure out how to bring meaning to our lives amidst the chaos of the world around us? I just added zombies to that chaos to heighten the stakes and pinpoint that part of ourselves that yearns to do more than merely exist. Not only were there not a lot of zombie books being published, there certainly weren’t any set decades after the zombie apocalypse (that I knew of). When I began writing The Forest of Hands and Teeth, I was pretty sure it wasn’t going to sell. ![]()
