Female Writers of the Zombocalypse In 2005, in a spurt of inspiration, I wrote a short story called “Tiny Fingers” while on break at work. The vivid image of a young mother staring in horror at the small hand of her zombified toddler shoved underneath the front door of her house desperately trying to reach her was so powerful I had to write the story.

Without a doubt, Jenni and Katie from the AS THE WORLD DIES TRILOGY (THE FIRST DAYS, FIGHTING TO SURVIVE, SIEGE) will forever be two of my favorite characters ever to inhabit my novels.
