Samuel’s story hit a snag when “Chuck” moved on to other things, as I had done. She punted the ball, or more aptly the badger back to me. “We started in the middle, and Samuel has a whole life. Why not tell it?” were her parting words. So, why not?

I’ve been writing what will be book one of the Samuel Shinpike series, starting in the park that was his first home. Where he meets his mentor, learns of city life outside the park, and of one of many true monsters in his post-zombie appocalypse world.

Stay tuned.
