I am also excited to showcase author Alice B. Sullivan, writer of the Aftermath series!
“The Aftermath series, a zombie apocalypse series full of conspiracy, deception, betrayal, redemption, desperation, and will… https://bookgoodies.com/a/B09HNB72DS “When the world falls apart, it doesn’t matter how. It’s who’s left to rebuild.” -Sadie Gallagher A world ravaged by a virus. An endless war against the infected. Crudely built walls to force them out. Humanity has won for the most part. Too bad there's more to the virus than meets the eye.”
Alice B. Sullivan was born and raised in a quiet town in upstate New York, where she spent way too much time pondering zombie apocalypse scenarios. When she isn’t chasing things that go bump in the night, Alice is writing about different ways the world could end.

We Interrupt Regular Progamming to Bring You This News…
Hi everyone, just wanted to say thank you so much for dropping in on my website and having some fun with the Random Free Giveaways. They are still going strong so if you entered before but were unsuccessful, feel free to have another go. You never know your luck! There will be more competitions and giveaways to come.
I wanted to take a minute to ask you to consider signing up to my newsletter. It will only be sent out once monthly and of course you are free to unsubscribe whenever you like. I will share lots of writing related things, some personal stories, some weird and whacky real life stories, some bits and bobs of fiction as well as the heads up on competitions and giveaways to come. You will also be the first to know about new releases. Think of it as a sort of written version of Frankenstein's monster. The Sign Up form is below.
There are lots of free reads on my site, plus new ones added usually around Christmas and Halloween, so have a look around while you're here. I also add, as a thank you for your interest and support, a link to a free download of 'Wakeful Children: A Collection of Horror and Supernatural Tales' to get you in the mood for spooky season. Warning: as an indie author it is inevitable that I ask you for a review once you have read it, should you like what you read. Or even if you don't. So please consider reviewing. Thank you.
Anyway, I have taken up enough of your time. Thanks again. As you were. Let the Random Giveaways Continue!

'Wakeful Children is a collection of highly imaginative and inventive short stories.
The oak sways gently, a shiver shimmers its way from roots to tip. A branch creaks as if in resistance. A small, fresh leaf strains to curl into life, shows promise for an instant, then withers and dies. A sigh, just beyond human hearing, vibrates the night. All else is still.
You will be unwittingly taken on a journey to witness the twisted brutality of Joe Gallows, the weird dream-scape of The Sandman, the ice-cold grasp of The Face of the Gale, the elemental horror of an ancient, evil entity in Devil’s Drop. You will visit some of the residents down a darkly troubled street in Absorption; watched over by a beautiful, malignant presence all the while.
These and other tales make Wakeful Children an extremely unusual, compelling and refreshingly different read in this genre. One that will leave you thinking of it long after you have turned the last page...'
