Hi
everyone! It’s been a crazy couple
weeks. The launch of my novel, Welcome
to GreenGrass, is fast approaching. It’s
available for pre-order now over at necropublications.com. It’ll be available next week for paperback
and eBook download. Exciting stuff and I
hope you check it out. Now for this
week’s snippet from Stein (I finally chose a title – you’ll see why soon
enough). We left poor Annie alone in her
alley with the zombie horde that was chasing her and closing fast. In a last act of defiance, she threw her only
weapon, a bottle, at the approaching mob of rotting flesh. Luckily sometimes fate has a way of
intervening. Enjoy.
___________________________________________
The bottled
hurtled through the air, moving in slow motion, as Annie pulled her arms up to
guard her face. The sound of metal
ripping free from metal pierced her ears.
Peeking from between her elbows, she watched the side of the garbage
dumpster explode, tearing free and smashing into the oncoming horde. The wall of shrapnel tore into the mass,
separating arms and heads, as limbs slammed into the alley walls. Those not directly in its path of
dismemberment toppled backwards, creating a wall of squirming flesh.
One of the
errant appendages struck Annie’s waist, knocking the breath from her as she
dropped to her knees.
Gasping for
air and fighting back the dull pain in her gut, she watched as a crumpled
figured emerged from remains of the dumpster.
Her eyes filled with tears as she watched a hand emerge from the
patch-worked blanket approaching her.
“No die.” The voice snarled.
Who is this
mystery stranger? And what does this
mean for Annie’s chance of survival?
Tune in next week to find out.

Wow! Not at all what I was expecting! So we have a stranger powerful enough to blast his way out of a solidly made metal box, yet who lurks inside a box full of garbage and wears a patchwork blanket. I'm intrigued - I'm enjoying these snippets. You do a very nice job of painting the picture in just a few words. I'm looking forward to the next episode!
