If you haven't heard, the Zomblog saga resumes. Yes, the daughter of Sam and Meredith is all grown up now. I will say right here that if you go in expecting typical zombie fare...you might not be thrilled. (Zomblog: Snoe is available in trade paperback and ebook.) It is almost 20 years since the outbreak and humanity is trying to rise from the ashes. I do hope that you will enjoy it. Either way, feel free to leave a review if you are so inclined.
I first met Tabitha after an amazing author, Janus Gangi, featured me for an entire day on her Facebook page. Tabitha has a very cool blog where she features the first 5 pages of an author's book. She has since featured That Ghoul Ava and Dead: Winter during their respective releases.
It is my pleasure to take today and highlight Tabitha...
Excerpt:
The other patrons had struck up conversation with one another, but Robbie and I sat quietly by the door. No one noticed what happened next, except for me. In a moment the door opened and the soldier slid out of the room and back into the introduction room where we still waited. He shut the door tight behind him, but not before I saw them. The door had only opened briefly, and only opened enough for the tall, slender man to slide through. But out from what I had mistaken as a window, flew three large Black Panthers into the room next door. I listened for shrieks and screams, but heard nothing.
The soldier stood with his back to the door, his eyes wide, his breath coming in short choppy spurts as the fear settled and washed away. Did I really just see three Black Panthers released onto unsuspecting people? The soldier breathed in deep and then looked down at me. He straightened his uniform and then made his way back to the front of the crowd.
“Everyone who chose the Siberian Tiger, please line up at the door,” He said coolly, again extending his arm to lead the way.
That was us, but I was quite hesitant. Was it part of the show that the panthers be released onto the people? There was no warning of that from the intro we had just watched. The intro showed people feeding the animals through an artificial arm from a safe place. What was going on? I know I saw what I saw, and the reaction of the soldier confirmed it.
“Sir,” I said to him when I got closer. “I just saw those panthers jumping into that room,” I started, but the soldier let out a loud, shrill laugh that caught everyone’s attention and interrupted me.
“It’s 3D,” he whispered, patting my shoulder. “You better get in line, you don’t want to miss it,” he added, pushing me toward the door and disappearing into the line of people. It seemed legitimate. Right?
