Creeping Beath

Beschreibung

School's out - and that's not a good thing! After spending the first part of the Zombie RiZing holed up in their school, Beath and her friends have finally ventured back into the outside world - and to say things have deteriorated would be an understatement. Fortunately, salvation is at hand, in the form of the Black Oaks Shopping Centre and its mother lode of food, clothes and weapons. Or at least it would be if the bad guys hadn't gotten there first. Specifically, one bad guy - Karl Dreeks, a villain of the highest order who's turning apocalypse lemons into lemonade in the worst way possible. Backed up by an army of the undead and the monstrous, he thinks his victory over the gang will be an easy one. But they've got news for him, especially Ms Simmons, who may not be as clueless as it once seemed.

Autor

Like the legendary R M Williams, Matt was born in Jamestown in rural South Australia. But that's where the remarkable similarities between the two end. While Reginald went from bushman to world-renowned millionaire outback clothing designer, Matt is a complete dag who was lured by the city lights of Adelaide. Kindergarten in the big smoke was a culture shock, but it was here he first discovered his love of storytelling. In high school that love found an outlet in a series of completely unflattering cartoons about fellow students and teachers alike. He survived long enough to turn his art into a successful career in multimedia design but, like a zombified leech, the lure of the written word gnawed at him, forcing him to pen his first novel, the award-winning sci-fi comedy epic Kings of the World. It was followed the next year by Amazon Australia dystopian sci-fi best-seller Apocalypse: Diary of a Survivor. Matt donates part proceeds of each book sold to find a cure for Rett Syndrome, a neurological condition that affects the youngest of his three children, Abby. As a gorgeous Rett angel, Abby cannot walk, talk or use her hands in a meaningful way. So not only is each book purchase a ticket to fantastically rounded, character-driven, hilarious and poignant sci-fi awesomeness, it also wraps you in a warm feeling of knowing you've made a difference to people who deserve your help the most. Like the zombified leech, it's a no-brainer.
