A Small Look At The Characters In The Series and What To Look Forward To In The Second Book Coming Soon

The thing I enjoy apparently, is letting others in on who the characters are and just allowing others to get to know the name of characters who are in the series. And that's what I'll be doing now. In the first book, if you already read it, has only eight main characters, plus a few with small parts: Avery, Justin, Alex, Keith, Holly, Jenny, Zackary, and Joel. Then there's the Boss, scientist mainly known as just Pherson, the group from Texas, the survivors in Kansas, John, and Katie.
Avery is the high school girl, friends with fellow high schoolers Holly and Keith, her two friends. Katie was also a friend as well, but doesn't make it past the first few pages of course, also John doesn't either. The Boss is who starts it all, and Pherson doesn't reappear until toward the ending.
Justin and Alex are brothers from Seattle, on their way to Lubbock by car. The two brothers form the group with Avery, Keith, and Holly then are joined with other high schoolers from Lubbock, Joel, Zackary, and Jenny.
I'm going to try not to reveal when these next characters make their appearances, but will let you in on what they do. Here's the list: Trevor, Evan, Drew, Charles, Nick, Will, Jeff, Lucinda, Laura, Seth, Jared, Jeremiah, Melinda, David, Miles, Elizabeth, Mitch, Kevin, Simon, Wyatt, Brandon, Ryan, Zach, Kyle, Sebastian, Paul, Molly, Francesca, Eduardo, Jesse, Barry, Walt, Joseph, Devon, Tom, Logan, Marlon, Zeke, Perry, Scott. And more to come.

The first eight names are all part of a group together. In my book series, eventually, you begin to learn and hear a lot about the SGs: Survivalist Groups. This particular group being known as the SGO (Survivalist Group of Ohio) while the bulk of the names in the rest of the list actually belong to the SGC (Survivalist Group of California) and are also some of my personal favorite characters of my series 'cause of how I created them out to be. True, I created characters that I like, and then there's some I'm not a fan of too.
Overtime you learn about each characters past and what they were doing when the zombie virus began. One character had been working as a Graphic Designer when they found out and witnessed the killings, in turn, he races to his parents home to check on them. They're not there, but his brother and sister are and he ends up killing them. You learn in the last few books that he carries that weight and regrets. There's the character who left a group because he didn't like how they did things. There's the woman with an attitude toward everyone and the character who disappears and is never heard about again. And the character who travels out to sea to begin their search for survivors in the other countries over seas.
In each series, the characters are actually traveling from state to state and meet new people and lose people ( an example of that is in the first book available through createspace and amazon). They gain friends, lost friends, and end up with enemies or develop hatred toward someone they once called a friend.

i'm going to be releasing my second book very soon, I just need to figure out a cover for it. So what can you look forward to in the second book? For one, it'll be longer than the first book for sure. But you'll get to meet the SGO for the first time and the chance to see the characters personalities and how they run their group. Keith changes for the worst, Holly begins to change for the best, Jenny still cries a lot. Avery begins changing as well for the worst mentally while Alex develops an attitude toward life that doesn't result in a good way at the ending. Plus characters die, including someone from the original group.
Hope you enjoy the book and I'll be letting you know when the next of the series will be out.
