Heartbeat
After the Zombie Apocalypse, civilization adapts to troubled times. But can the living and the undead co-exist in peace? A zombie defender must question his principles when a hunter becomes infected by the zombie plague and threatens the boy's mother in "Heartbeat". A group of young zombie sympathizers are the only thing standing between the diseased and their hunters, who collect a fee for each undead bagged. It's a new world where humans have learned to lead semi-normal lives despite the zombie plague. But when a zombie protector's mother is endangered by a bitten hunter, a boy must question his beliefs and make a choice: protect the zombies or his mom. This is a different zombie tale, one told with humor as well as horror, from the perspective of a young man wrestling to do the right thing in a world gone wrong.

About the Author

The bond between mother and child is a sacred theme explored in various ways by Lori R. Lopez. Her writing offers flashes of reality amidst the fiction and fantasy, the horror and suspense. She likes to keep readers guessing like April Fools . . . Her favorite paranormal trope is ghosts, or maybe monsters. Especially monsters she has put together with needle and thread or a squeeze-bottle of glue. Sometimes the creatures are all in her head, swimming around in a kettle of stew. Sometimes they lurch out of her past or cast tendrils and tentacles from the shadows. But they share a defining element in common. The nasty gnarly nightbeasts love to pop up and squeal or growl “Surprise!” at inopportune moments, such as the shower, the sink, the table, the store. Wherever they pounce, she is grateful to expel them. Exorcise them. Empty them into a tale, a chapter, a boiling pot of Inspiration . . . Nothing is worse than bottling demons and critters inside your skull or chest until you burst! Lori is the mother of two sons who possess multiple talents like the limbs of a Kraken. They are more inclined to predict a Robot Apocalypse or Dragon Apocalypse than a Zombie Apocalypse. Lori herself believes in things that go bump in the night, as well as mischievous evil elves who tie knots in hair (it’s the only possible explanation). Lori also believes that some things happen for a reason, while some things do not happen for a reason to balance out the things that do. She tends to believe in the Spirit World more than the Fairytale World, although she would like to believe half-a-dozen impossible things before breakfast and a dozen impossible things by supper. And she wouldn’t mind a final impossibility for dessert to make it a nice round odd thirteen.
