Because of the advancing zombie horde and because you don't want to split up your family you only have time to enter one store. Which one will it be?
TDWZS (The Dead War Zombie Series) What inspired you to become an author?
PM Barnes: I have been writing for as long as I can remember. I actually have some books that my mother preserved from my childhood. A few of them are actually bound and date back almost 30 years.
I feel that my love of books and of writing came from my parents. I often hear tale of my father taking my mother to the park when she was pregnant with me and sitting her under a tree so he could read to her belly.
It’s also possible, that my father is to blame for my dark literary leanings. Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner and Poe were pretty frequent guests at these “readings”, so it’s not too hard to see why much of my work leans into the macabre.
TDWZS: Why write in the zombie genre?
PM Barnes: For one, I am a huge z poc and post apoc fan. I feel like as a writer, the love of a genre generally means that you are always thinking about ways to improve it or bring in some new elements. It’s part of not being able to turn it off.
I would often be reading these really great books and thinking about twists I wished they would take. When I set out to start my own series, Zombie Seed, I actually made a list of all the things I really wanted to read about in the genre and also, all the clichés and things I felt were really played out.
In addition to that, I am a student of human psychology and I feel that we see a more clearly represented human experience in times of adversity.
What drives people to still find z poc and post apoc stories interesting, is because they maintain their relevancy and may have even increased over the last few decades.
As we consistently are reminded of how tenuous our hold is on the current arrangement of society, our fear of what will happen when it all falls down grows.
The end of the world is our favorite concept to play with. We recognize the inevitability and our powerlessness against it.
TDWZS: Lets's get to your book. What's it about? Is it a series?
PM Barnes: Zombie Seed is a culmination of all the elements I just discussed. I’m trying to view the apocalypse from the psychological side of things and focus on the carnage that humans can exact in times of uncertainty. It was really important for me to blur the lines of good and evil. While reading the series, you will at times find yourself as frightened by some of my “living” characters, as you will of the undead ones.
As of right now, the series is set to have five books in it. The book that is currently out, is actually book three. There will be two before and two after.
TDWZS: As I'm sure you know there are thousands of zombie books out there right now. What makes yours stand out?
PM Barnes: Great question and I agree. There are some really good z poc books out there and I have had a pleasure to read quite a few and get to know the authors.
I feel like what sets mine apart, is my main focus. Again, I have chosen to zero in on more of the living monsters, than the undead ones. I also bring in some turns that are not usually associated with the z poc (which I would love to list, but finding out about them is part of the suspense in the book). It’s pretty much a guarantee that while reading my books, you’ll have an “I did not expect that”, moment.
TDWZS: What's the cause of the zombie apocalypse in your books?
PM Barnes: The cause of the z poc in my series, is discussed in the next installment, ZS II: CONCEPTION. I don’t want to give too much away and blow the feel of the book, but I can say that it is not an accident. My z poc is actually a synthesized event, in response to another event.
TDWZS: Are your zombies the fast or slow moving type?
PM Barnes: Another great question. I actually have both in my book. You have once again stumbled upon one of the elements that adds to the suspense and also sets Zombie Seed apart.
TDWZS: Are you trying to make any greater point with your books or just write a good zombie story?
PM Barnes: My main focus is to entertain. There are some laugh out loud moments and ones that will have you cringing on the edge. That being said, I did want to bring a mirror up to ourselves, by showing that the depths of human depravity are something that we all are subject to.
If I had to sum my book up into one quote, it would be one of many great ones by Golda Meir, “…nothing human is alien to me.”
TDWZS: Do you have an online presence? If so where? Blogs, web sites, Twitter, Facebook, etc.

Hey zombie fans. In my opinion when many think of the inevitable zombie apocalypse they overly focus on the zombies as the main threat. I think that's a HUGE mistake. So with that in mind what do you think would be the #1 cause of death during a zombie apocalypse?
Check out this award winning short zombie film by Francesco Picone, ANGER OF THE DEAD. It's in Italian and I have no idea what the !@#$ anyone is saying but once the zombie action kicks off you wont need to understand Italian. Zombies speak one language.. George Cook thedeadwarzombieseries.com
Okay boys and girls, here's the scenario.
During the zombie apocalypse you have managed to find a group that contains both Michonne of The Walking Dead and Alice of Resident Evil. Things have been going pretty well ( well as well as things can go during a zombie apocalypse ) until there's an argument about whether to continue on to Alaska or a rumored floating city off the coast of New York. Alice has decided to go one way and Michonne the other. who are you rolling with?
In popular culture it's often stated that zombies, the walking dead, walkers, etc like to eat human brains. Why? Does it really f*cking matter why? Anyway if zombies really do need brains to survive which group of people would have the least to worry about during a zombie apocalypse. Would it be politicians, birthers, the Kardashians? Take our poll and let us know!
SYNOPSIS: After returning from a week-long expedition, a team of scientists realize - too late that they've brought back more than they bargained for. The result is a terrifying onslaught that quickly overwhelms the resources of a small town, placing it in peril.

Buy After Death:
[ SOURCE ] If there were a zombie apocalypse in Florida, gun owners would be able to take their weapons with them as they ran screaming from the walking dead, even without a concealed weapons permit, if new legislation is passed.
Senate Bill 296 reportedly would give Florida gun owners the right to carry concealed weapons -- without the proper permit -- during a state of emergency. A hurricane, for instance.
Democratic Sen. Dwight Bullard, an opponent of the bill, imagined other dire straits when he filed this amendment to the bill late Tuesday: "An act relating to the zombie apocalypse."
It was Bullard's way of calling out this bill as "laughable." A crisis, he told the Huffington Post, is "the last instance in which you want someone who is not a concealed permit holder to carry a weapon."
Zombie Apocalypse Amendment by Dwight Bullard
Okay folks here's the scenario. A zombie apocalypse has devastated the planet and you are one of the last remaining people on Earth. Depending on who you are that may or may not be a good thing but that's another issue for another time. Right now your dumb ass has gotten yourself trapped in a broom closet while attempting to get a Kit Kat bar off a dead doorman in a hotel lobby.
About twenty of the walking dead await outside the closet door and a few are attempting to get through the door. You have no choice but to fight your way out. You being the bad ass you are have two pistols and an assault rifle and are proficient will all three.
Here's the question people. When you go Billy bad ass and kick the door open what song will be playing in your head? Hey, every tough guy needs their theme music.
I have picked four songs below in the poll but you have the option of adding your own song too. So what will you be blasting zombies to?

Here's a review from The Dead War Series book page at Barnes & Noble.
My very first time reading this author. I love zombies and this author has done a amazing job of bringing them to bloody life. The "Grays" as they are called amazingly described. In this story you don't know who you should fear most the humans or the grays. Its the army with a twist that is scary good. I tell you one thing I wouldn't want to be a Scout. Read this book to found out why. Can't wait to read part 2. Great job!

When the dead walk a hero shall rise! The Dead War Trilogy is the story of that hero, Sergeant Richards!
In the year 2053 the dead walked. Mankind was caught off guard at first but within six years mounted a massive military assault against the dead.
These are the stories of some of those men and women that fought back.
Ok folks here's the scenario.
You are the President of the United States and a zombie apocalypse has broken out in New York City. You have shut down the all ways out of the city and the outbreak seems pretty much confined to the city. The military has strongly suggested using a tactical nuclear missile to destroy the city and stop the outbreak once and for all.
As the president you don't have much to go on as scientist and the CDC are telling you they don't know if destroying the city will stop the outbreak. They don't know for sure if whatever caused the outbreak has escpaed the city as they don't yet know the length of the incubation period. There are also millions who have yet to be infected trapped inside the city and no way to evacuate them.
So what do you do Mr./Mrs. President? Do you give the order to fire that missile and slow down the outbreak or leave the city blocked off?
