With fall in Mississippi, the weather is nice enough to spend days outside rather than in search of air conditioning. (The highs are only in the 80’s rather than the 100’s. )
The Shepard is the slightly less hairy one on the left…
The gang over at Blood Sweat and Books gave us a four-star review on Last Stand on Zombie Island(Book link here!)
From the review:
The Characters- While the roles of the islanders broke down into what I would call stereotypical pattern the characters themselves were written well and engaging. My favorite character was Spud. While I didn’t necessarily like him I respected the initiative he took after the initial outbreak happened. The rest of the island was quick to dismiss him as being nothing but a young punk but had they taken a moment they would of found a very resourceful individual amongst them.
World Building- I felt the Author did a great job building up the days before the outbreak without bogging down the book with endless chapters chronicling it. I also was satisfied with the overall world building it was easy to picture an Island vs. large city catastrophe. Yes devastation is still bad but you have more choices for Survival since you can isolate the town easier.”
Good stuff the rest of the review here:
Well gang, as you may or may not know I live along the Mississippi Gulf Coast near Horn Island (ever heard of Biloxi?)
Cool place. We got this Hurricane Issac thing coming.
Now don’t get me wrong, your favorite chubby firearms writer, zombie apocalypse novelist, and all around survival guru is ready for this. (10m Ham, Ricochet, BOB, BOV, etc) and I intend to Shelter In Place. However may lose internet connection even if i do have backup/offline power so may not be able to update every day after Weds.
But have no fear, I may be living in a low budget spontaneous Renaissance Fair, but I will be living
And will be back in touch.
Hurricane Tip Number one: Don’t go to Walmart looking for water 72hours before a storm. Not going to happen. Good thing I always keep a few weeks worth on hand 365.
Don’t wait till the last minute for your Hurricane Supplies boys and girls….

Book Description
Publication Date: April 30, 2012
“WELCOME TO THE END OF THE WORLD! Disease-K has decimated the world leaving its victims shambling homicidal maniacs. And nestled along the warm Gulf waters sits Gulf Shores…the last outpost of civilization. With looters and thieves preying on the shocked survivors, it’s up to the retirees and bank tellers, phone repairmen and charterboat captains to put the town back together. THE SHADOWS ARE GATHERING OUTSIDE OF TOWN! There, in the sands and marshes of the Gulf of Mexico, the citizens of Gulf Shores along with scattered military units, a downed Air Force pilot, and a lone Coast Guard cutter form the last line of defense against the amassing horde of the infected marching its way toward the sea destroying what’s left of humanity along the way. As summer gives way to the fall and the cold winds blow off the sea, Gulf Shores draws the line and prepares to make the… THE LAST STAND ON ZOMBIE ISLAND!”
