It should be game over for Nora Dearly when she is ambushed and
dragged off into the night by the living dead. But this crack unit of
teen zombies are the good guys, sent to protect Nora from the real
monsters roaming the country and zeroing in on cities to swell their ranks.
Can Nora find a way to kill off the evil undead once and for all?
Can she trust her protectors to resist their hunger for human flesh?
And can she stop herself falling for the noble, sweet, surprisingly
attractive, definitely-no-longer-breathing Bram...?
Lia Habel was born into a time of unparalleled ugliness - it was
called 'the Eighties'. It was horrible - but yet it brought Lia the
video for Thriller by Michael Jackson, and a burning interest in zombies
followed. A self-described 'zombie anthropologist', Lia has seen a
lot
of zombie movies. She lives in Jamestown, NY, with her three cats,
Ebeneezer, ZZ and Bloody Mary. DEARLY, DEPARTED is her debut novel.
