Only The Dead Don’t Die

Surviving the pandemic’s un-deadly aftermath is only the beginning!

When the Super Summer Flu sweeps across the globe, it brings humanity to its knees—gruesome, relentless, and unforgiving. The lucky died quickly. The unlucky? They’re still here. Immune, isolated, or unhinged, the survivors face a world where the dead don’t stay dead… and the living are far worse.

Scarlett, a heartbroken schoolteacher, barely notices the chaos unraveling outside her condo. Dean, a gruff retired handyman, retreats to his fishing spot, hoping to avoid it all. And Justin, a tech-savvy college kid, holes up in his parents’ basement, more focused on coding than survival. But when reality finally shatters their bubbles, they’re forced to face a creeping horror that has transformed the world—and themselves.

Hope is their only weapon. Humanity, their final stand.

But not everyone wants the old world back. For the Stockton Boys, chaos is freedom—and morality is just another casualty. In a world where every choice could mean death or damnation, surviving the apocalypse is more than a fight against monsters. It’s a battle for the soul of mankind.

Only the Dead Don’t Die is the chilling first book in this gripping zombie series. Fans call it “Hitchcockian suspense meets The Walking Dead.” If you crave slow-burn dread, unforgettable characters, and a world falling into madness—your journey starts here . . .

The Callista Alignment

“An outstanding SF series debut that explores what it means to be human.” – Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

No one has met a natural human before. No one has imagined the consequences.

Abducted from Earth and thrust into a bewildering alien world, Kali has no idea that she’s the only Earth-born ‘natural’ in a population of human pets and slaves scattered across the stars. Intelligent and persistent, she’ll resist the limits of her captivity, turn her owner’s life upside down, and challenge everything he believes about her species. Then, when the public spotlight suddenly turns to her, she’ll drag him into a revolution.

The Callista Alignment is Book One in The Natural Human Saga, a science fiction space opera exploring alien prejudice, captivity, and the strength of found family. Featuring a strong female lead this emotional saga of courage and redemption will appeal to readers of The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet, The Pet Project and The Planet of the Apes.
.
Meet the cast:
The Professor – Yan Feyrsten thinks he’s made a big mistake. The human he’s just bought is upending his quiet academic life. Kali won’t settle, won’t eat, won’t comply. She can’t grasp that here on Antaris, she’s nothing more than an animal.
The Naturalist – Henik Varkesen understands why. He’s imagined meeting an Earth-born ‘natural’ his entire professional life. But he realises the trouble Kali could bring—that she’s either a wondrous scientific discovery or the most dangerous human on the planet.
The Bounty Hunter – Torsta Jai knows an opportunity when she sees one. Reduced to hunting feral humans in the Derelict Zone, the disgraced police chief is looking for a way to restore her position. She realises Yan’s human could give her the political leverage she needs and will stop at nothing to possess her.
The Human – Kali is just trying to get by in a baffling alien world. She’ll start with Yan, use her gift with language to confound his expectations, and force him to reassess everything he believes. But when she is stolen away and thrust into the public spotlight, she’ll discover the truth: a restive human population has been waiting for a sign, waiting for their moment. They’ve been waiting for her.

Contains occasional strong language, non-graphic violence, and mature thematic content. Suitable for readers aged 15 and up.

Book 2, The Callista Ascendancy, continues the saga. Abducted over thousands of years, a human diaspora is spread across the cosmos, a slave species clinging to the legend of a place called Earth. This continues the story of one of them – her truth, her courage, her destiny.

Last of the Wild Days

The Wild Days are all but over, and the Howling Hunt is nearing…

Facing the worst winter in living memory, Brackenhal and Merralea are fleeing south with what’s left of their tribe – and their last remaining cub. Plagued by cold, hunger, and opportunistic Flesheaters who are picking off their fellow Foragers one by one, there is still no sign of winter lifting, nor spring returning. Along their path, they discover an abandoned fox cub lying in the snow, yet despite foxes being among the most feared and cruel of all predators, they decide to raise the cub as their own. Meanwhile, another creature born of winter itself is uniting the Flesheaters under one creed to begin a great hunt, and while the Foragers raise their orphaned cub in little knowledge of the looming threat, the Wintergazer is ever growing in both power… and hunger.

Against the setting described above, The Last of the Wild Days is the story of someone born into one way of life but raised into another; whose identity is increasingly torn between heritage and upbringing, nature and nurture, right and wrong – who must ultimately discover what the meanings of family and friendship truly are to them.

As well as for use of setting, the world, characters and their various attitudes towards one another are intended as a satirical reflection of humanity and our issues throughout history that are still largely present today such as tribalism, slavery and greed.

Dedicated to the memory of my brother Nathaniel (Natty), Brian Jacques whose books we both grew up with, and other influential authors who are sadly no longer with us, this is a story of life, death, love, grief, captivity, freedom, prejudice, compassion, and the complicated, bittersweet bonds of friendship and family – in a reflection of our own lives as a combination of beauty, agony and everything in between.

If you decide to pick it up, self publishing relies heavily on ratings and reviews – so any review or any feedback you could offer would be extremely appreciated. Thank you!
