About the Book:

Middle school English teacher Gabriel Walker always joked that his students were going to kill him; he never thought it might actually happen. After a mysterious epidemic turns children into psychotic killers, the world descends into chaos.

Gabriel and a small group of survivors are alive because they hide in plain sight; they broke down their own door, busted in their windows and they don’t take risks. The survivors have a system. And it works. But when they run into Grace, the rules change.

Jon McConnell is a high school English teacher at Nipomo High School in California. He makes his home in Orcutt, nestled in the Central Coast with his wife/co-author, Dayna, and two rambunctious sons, Declan and Ezra. He has loved the zombie genre ever since he stayed up with his brothers to watch George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead, but enjoys a good romantic comedy as well.
