Why am I passionate about this?

I love zombie apocalypse fiction and movies and games. There’s something fascinating about survival and post-apocalyptic fiction, where you see the real character and desire of humanity to survive no matter what. I also like the morbid humor that shows up. I started writing the zombie apocalypse call center series as a way to poke fun at my customer support center experiences and mix it in with my own fascination with zombie apocalypses.

The books I picked & why

Book cover of Dead Run: A Post-Apocalyptic Plague Thriller

Taylor Ellwood Why did I love this book?

Dead Run is a no holds bar thrill ride of a zombie apocalypse novel.

The author creates a compelling world where humans try to survive the plaguers who are infected zombie cannibals, as well as each other.

Sulan, the main character wants to become a mercenary and studies the fighting arts in secret so she take a shot at the meat grinder, a contest that will let her become a mercenary and forge her own destiny.

Book cover of Divided We Fell

Taylor Ellwood Why did I love this book?

Otto is an average guy going to work in a divided America when the zombie apocalypse occurs.

Suddenly there are zombies everywhere, but if anyone can survive the zombie apocalypse, it’s Otto, who’s got a gun collection and loyal friends and family willing to do whatever it takes to survive the zombies and find out what caused the zombie apocalypse.

I loved the sense of humor and the wacky adventures that balanced the overall horror of the story.

What is this book about?

America’s political differences have split the country into two vastly different nations. The walls they've built, both physical and ideological, may determine who lives and who dies... twice!

First came the Great Divide … then the dead began to rise and devour the living. The American people voted to split into two countries. But they did not vote to be eaten alive!

An insane world leader, corrupt politicians, and the shambling dead have brought the world to its knees. Now, Otto Hammer–a proud citizen of the new conservative Right America, past his prime and a bit of a jerk–must unite…


Book cover of Dead City

Taylor Ellwood Why did I love this book?

In Dead City, Ian Keys created a drug that stopped the ravages of the zombie infection and allowed infected to live alongside humans again…or did he?

The cure he’s developed may not be a cure afterall and the company that hired him is keeping dangerous secrets from the world, with a secret agenda that threatens all of humanity.

If Ian can’t find out the truth in time, the world as he knows it may be destroyed.

I got caught up in the suspense, wondering what would happen next and if Ian would survive or get caught by the company or the zombies.

Book cover of Deadbreak

Taylor Ellwood Why did I love this book?

An interesting and funny take on the zombie apocalypse.

The main character has a morbid sense of humor and a loyal dog and is trying to find his daughter no matter what it takes.

The story is fast-paced and will keep you wondering what will happen next, as well as discovering what the main character will do to survive the zombies and also get some food.

I enjoyed the balance of humor and action, which kept me reading until the last page.
