Pick up some “Warmth” for the Holidays
Perhaps you don’t live in a place with snow… and you can’t sit near a cozy log fire. Well… even if so, there’s no reason why you can’t have a little holiday “Warmth” this winter.
Today only, get “Warmth” for free on the Kindle! Warmth is a work of horror firmly in the dark comedy arena about an alternate earth where a prehistoric gut flora has extended the life of a select few – ghouls, who can only survive by consuming human flesh. This extended life comes with an end of the line penalty, though… when they die, all ghouls come back as flesh-eating zombies. The reanimated corpses have only one purpose – to seek out and infect humans with the ghoulish condition. But the world will not survive if most of it’s population are infected, so a select few ghouls are self-appointed zombie hunters – ever culling down the recently dead to prevent this kind of outbreak, and to keep ghoulish life a secret from the human world.
Sera is one of these – a ghoulish zombie hunter who is more than a bit cranky and irritable – the slow aging of the ghouls has also affected her unborn child, and as a result she’s been pregnant for the past 600 years.

Book Description
“I hate the dead. They have no self-control” – Sera. She is ghula – one of the extremely long-lived though not immortal flesh eaters whose lives can end in only one way – in resurrection as a hungry, ambulatory corpse who will spend the short days of its unlife rotting, eating, and infecting as many as possible. Sera compares her life to a dark comedy – trapped with an unwanted pregnancy for the past 600 years, constantly afraid that the fetus will die and go zombie in-utero, always cold and constantly running a fever like every other ghoul on the planet. Luckily, two things in life sustain her: her joy in hunting and destroying the Dead, and the constant seeking of comfort in warmth.
