ⓘ About Shawn Chesser
Shawn’s a major fan of the apocalyptic horror genre, with writers such as George Romero, Stephen King, and Cormac McCarthy being major influences. Having been a zombie fanatic for decades, he prefers his creatures moaning, shambling, and trudging. And as for the agile, fast, and screaming specimens, not so much. When he is not writing, he spends the rest of his time doing whatever his wife says and doting on his two kids. “Trudge” is the first novel in the “Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse” series and was released in the year 2011. For Cade Grayson, dad, husband, and ex-Delta Force operator, that warm sunny Saturday in July (later called Z-Day by some anonymous person that’s probably long dead) started like any other, and none since.
