Joseph A. Coley Interview Getting to know you & your book. Name, contact and purchase links, shoe size… actually, you can leave off the shoe size, that’s not really important… Joseph A. Coley, author of the Six Feet From Hell series. You can hit me up on FB www.facebook.com/joseph.a.coley Twitter: @JosephAColey Blog: www.sixfeetfromhell.blogspot.com I am not a hard person to get hold of. Shoe size is 11 ;) Tell us the name of the book you have in the Feed the Zombies event and a little bit about it. My offering to the event is Six Feet From Hell: Crisis, the fourth book in the series, and the newest entry. It was released on September 1st of this year. It is the beginning of a second set of three books in the 6FFH series. Tell us something unusual about it. It is set nine years after the end of the third book, and is the first one to be professionally edited by Monique Happy Editorial Services. Who’s your favourite character? And do you have a worst? My favourite character has got to be my series’ chief villain, Lieutenant Andrew Wyatt. He is based off of Michael Biehn’s Navy SEAL character in The Abyss. I really don’t have a least favourite one, they all have their good points, and if they don’t, then I just kill ‘em off… What work do you have coming up in the future? I have the fifth book in the Six Feet From Hell series coming up after the first of the year. The title of it will be Six Feet From Hell: Unity. I also have a serial novel available for free on Smashwords and Amazon titled R.I.P. Van Winkle that is an undead retelling of the Washington Irving classic…with a few surprises thrown in as well. Zombies, books & other things. What are some zombie books that you would recommend to others and why? I absolutely love The Remaining series by D.J. Molles. I try to read the first book in a series, but I have such a backlogged “to be read” list that I have a hard time getting to them. I recently finished The Retreat #1 – Pandemic by Craig DiLouie, Joe McKinney, and Stephen Knight. It isn’t straightforward zombie, but is a very good post-apocalyptic series. Do you have a Z’ Plan in place? You know if the apocalypse started a plan on what you are going to do and where you will hide out, and if so will you share it with us? For fans of the series and anyone who has read Six Feet From Hell: Response, all I have to say is “blueberry pancakes” – I can’t go into details…I’ve already said too much… What makes you want to write about zombies? Zombie fiction – in any form – is one of the best forms of escapist fiction out there. It draws you in with the premise of “what if?” and takes the average person and puts them in a situation of survive and adapt, or die. I think that many people are intrigued with what would happen if their bills, problems, and worries of everyday life were taken away and replaced with the simplicity of a survivalist mentality. Survival instinct is one of those things that you either have or you don’t, and there aren’t many that have it. How do you like your zombies? Slow and shambling or Fast and clever? Both. Depends on the background of the story. I lean towards slow and shambling, though. 
Michael S. Gardner Interview  Getting to know you & your book. Name, contact and purchase links, shoe size… actually, you can leave off the shoe size, that’s not really important… Michael S. Gardner outbreakad@gmail.com http://www.amazon.com/Betrayal-Novella-Michael-S-Gardner-ebook/dp/B00C0BVS1C/ref=la_B00C0C28MO_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1385512203&sr=1-4 http://www.amazon.com/Downfall-Michael-S-Gardner-ebook/dp/B00CS94UL6/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=8-1&qid=1385512278 Tell us the name of the book you have in the Feed the Zombies event and a little bit about it. Downfall: Downfall is a tale about one man’s struggle to find out who he is in a apocalyptic landscape. With the help of friends, Mathew Ryland forges through the wastes of what once was and battles the infected and demented to secure a foreseeable future. Betrayal: Betrayal is a novella set in a world where an infection has destroyed nearly all mankind. The undead roam the lands, and one colony sends out the last of their marines to forage supplies before the onset of winter. When all goes awry, the survivors are forced to entrust their future with a cocky pilot who is more selfish than he lets on. But in the city, there is more than supplies and undead waiting for them. Much more. Tell us something unusual about it. Downfall is a novel where the infected mutate and learn to hunt the living, providing, in some cases, to be fierce predators. Betrayal is a story in which science plays a fantastic role of changing the way the world once was. Who’s your favourite character? And do you have a worst? Downfall: My favourite character is also the worst character, a man by the name of Randy Clyde. He is all that is wrong with the world and enables certain characters to grow into themselves. Betrayal: My favourite character, again, is also the worst. Trevor Spencer is a cocky son of a bitch who will stop at nothing to ensure his success. Characters like this always make it fun for the other survivors. What work do you have coming up in the future? Downfall’s sequel, Aftermath, and Betrayal’s unnamed sequel. Zombies, books & other things. What are some zombie books that you would recommend to others and why? I would highly recommend Z.A. Recht’s Morning Star Saga and David Dunwoody’s Empire series. Both, in my opinion, are game-changers and should be on every fan of the genre’s shelves. Do you have a Z’ Plan in place? You know if the apocalypse started a plan on what you are going to do and where you will hide out, and if so will you share it with us? My plan is simply to rely on myself and what I’ve accumulated over the years. I’m a very friendly person, but in a real-time zombie apocalypse, it might just be best that you stay away. *grins* What makes you want to write about zombies? I grew up on zombies—before they had their time in the limelight—so it was only natural for me to write about them when I took up the craft. They, however, are just like vampires and werewolves and so on when it comes to writing: they put ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. For me, it’s not the zombies; it’s the characters. I prefer character-driven stories, so my preference of zombies is only because I am such a fan of their “villainy.” How do you like your zombies? Slow and shambling or Fast and clever Slow and shambling. Also, eating the person behind me, so long as they’re not a friend or loved one. ;) Excerpts For Betrayal & Downfall
Keith Milstead Interview Getting to know you & your book. Name, contact and purchase links, shoe size… actually, you can leave off the shoe size, that’s not really important… My name is Keith Milstead. I was born and raised in the great State of Texas. Currently I am a displaced Texan since my wife Rhonda of 16 years asked that we move to Colorado. We bought a home in the mountains and now live with the wildlife and our rescue dachshund Baxter. If I could move the weather from Colorado down to Texas, it would be awesome but then it wouldn’t be Texas then, would it? Size 12 shoes btw. e-mail - univofnoco@yahoo.com Twitter - https://twitter.com/Psychman1957 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Keith.Milstead.Author Publisher website - http://www.jellingtonashton.com/keith-milstead.html Purchase link - http://www.amazon.com/Fish-Die-For-666-ebook/dp/B00FGL8A5K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1380348169&sr=8-1&keywords=Keith+Milstead Tell us the name of the book you have in the Feed the Zombies event and a little bit about it. My book is called FISH TO DIE FOR and basically it is the story of a television fishing show that is losing viewers and ratings. In a last gasp effort, the main character, James Poraque (which incidentally is an electric eel that is known as THE ONE WHO PUTS YOU TO SLEEP!)) heads to the Middle East and risks his life and the life of his crew to catch the rarely seen and extremely dangerous “Zombie fish” and “Cannibal fish”. Together with these predators and located between the Afghanistan /Pakistan borders, will James catch this living creature of the dead or become bait food for the fish? That is the tale I have spun!! Tell us something unusual about it. Interestingly, the live version of this fish, the Wallago Attu is an actual fish, catfish actually that can grow up to 8 feet long and weigh up to 300 pounds. They have been known to eat anything that fits in their mouths, even small animals, babies and young children. The people of Afghanistan and Pakistan actually fish for these creatures that can easily feed an entire village. Who’s your favourite character? And do you have a worst? My favourite character is Cat Scratch. He is never given a name other than that because all he listens to is Ted Nugent music. He is a wild man and a multi-talented ex-military sharp-shooter. Who could be a better person to have than a guy with a gun when you are between Taliban and Al Qaeda troops, fishing for a killer fish! What work do you have coming up in the future? I am working on a novel set in East Texas called BAPTISM about a visitor to the down that starts making the main character Jeremy Steelwagon and the town citizens a bit nervous about their mortality. Will Jeremy overcome the psychological and physical abuse by his grandfather? How will the stigma of abuse affect Jeremy in the long run? How will it affect the people in Uncertain? Time will tell. I am also working on a novelette called HOLE IN THE HEAD, a story about goldfish diseases that cross the human / fish species barrier and become infectious. I am also working on another novelette called ENTOMOPHOBIA which is the term for fear of insects. I should have HOLE IN THE HEAD done very soon, BAPTISM by January and ENTOMOPHOBIA soon after that. Zombies, books & other things. What are some zombie books that you would recommend to others and why? The DEAD CITY series by Joe McKinney has some of the finest writing about the living dead I have read in a long time. Jonathan Mayberry continues to show he is an established writer of the genre. I have been given the opportunity to read a lot of new writers such as THE HARVESTING by Melanie Karsak, which has left me drooling for the next instalment because she has written a truly original plot in the genre. Ray Wallace has written a couple of One Way Out books where you make certain moves throughout the book that can lead to your demise or find the one way out. The one I have read most recently was ESCAPE FROM ZOMBIE ISLAND. Thom Brannon has written a fantastic story of apocalyptic event where certain people develop certain powers to fight the Dark Lords called LORDS OF NIGHT. There are Do you have a Z’ Plan in place? You know if the apocalypse started a plan on what you are going to do and where you will hide out, and if so will you share it with us? Well, I live in Colorado so I am near the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) in Cheyenne Mountain which is the most protected place in the world and supports the NORAD missions of aerospace warning and aerospace control and provided warning of ballistic missile or air attacks against North America. So I would run by Mickey D’s and grab a few crates of McRibs; a truck load of Diet Cokes; download all the Kindle e-books from all the authors I love and head to the hole in the mountain, live with the soldiers down there blowing the crap out of the zombies. Oh yeah, I’d also take my wife. 
What makes you want to write about zombies? I actually hadn’t intended FISH TO DIE FOR to be a zombie story, it just sort of fell in that category. I had intended the creature to be a by-product of nuclear weapons and just the DNA it fed on. Then, I guess since zombies are the genre of the present, I was led into the tale by my love of all things zombie!! How do you like your zombies? Slow and shambling or Fast and clever I like the mixture of the two; that adds an amount of suspense for when you encounter them. You don’t know whether they are fast or slow so you’re not sure if you can just wander away or if you have to run away at top speed. Either way, I am a fan of the saying “I don’t have to run faster than them, I just have to run faster than you!! Fish To Die For Excerpt & Cover
So what have we learnt today about these amazing writers...apart from the fact that they all have exceptionallly large feet?
Well, Keith seems to have a bad-ass survival plan worked out and there should be room in his vehicle for us since he most likely forgot his wife, stay away from Michael though because he might just push you in front of the next shambling zombie to make his getaway, and Joseph may or may not have some blurberry pancakes to share with us, but he won't tell me so I can't be a 100% certain on that... ...Oh yeah, and all their books are priced ridiculously low for today only, so go get your zombie fix now before it's too late! As always... Happy reading! Claire
