Another Day of Writing

Hello to everyone again. I have been working, not only on the last book, but also been working on another horror based book. It's taking a different turn than the When The Dead Came series. It's not apocalyptic based or zombie based, but more of a psychological horror book.
Anyways, hope everyone enjoyed the free promotion that ended in the 16th. If you missed it, then that's okay, because soon Apocalypse World/Survive will be available free for a short time. I decided to share a longer sample of When It Ends/Aftermath. To let you know now, there is some language use in this excerpt. Enjoy:

She looked back at Alex and realized he had his eyes closed, his hands limply resting on his lap. Feeling her heart leap, she rushed over and gently shook his shoulder.
"Alex," she said and shook him again," Alex!" The others looked over, realizing he wasn't moving. "Alex!" Brandon ran through the others and moved her aside.
"Let me do this," he ordered. He checked for a pulse on the side of the young guy's neck.
"Oh my God, is he dead? Did he die," Holly cried out, her hands over her mouth.
"Do something! Help him, for fuck's sake," Trent yelled at Brandon.
"What the hell do you think I'm doing," he snapped back and took out a small light. He shined it into Alex's eyes and he moved Alex, setting him to the side and checking his pulse again. They continued shouting at Brandon and he began to get angry at them that he turned and snapped.
"Shut the fuck up already! I can't concentrate with you people!" He looked back at Alex and checked his pulse again. "Shit," he said out loud and laid Alex back down. He began CPR and they watched as he tried to bring Alex back.

And that is it for today, my friends. Also been taking a break due to running out of coffee. So, I will be right back on track soon.

When It Ends/Aftermath Sample

Good evening. Been busy again with writing and drawing. Also been hot everyday, so cut down on the coffee and increase the water intake. Plenty of action in the last book, and more of a background.
By the way, today and tomorrow, the final days before When The Dead Came 1 & 2 is no longer free for Kindle! The promotion is almost over. But, soon Apocalypse World/Survive will be available free for so many days; and of course, will be releasing When It Ends/Aftermath with a unique cover design.
Below is another little tidbit from When It Ends/Aftermath, enjoy:

He nodded and he and Howard gestured for everyone to keep against the wall. The both of them stood on either side of the door. Kevin listened, hearing a small cough and he looked at Howard. He reached and twisted the knob, but it didn't budge.
Moving aside, Howard stood in front of the door and kicked it, forcing the door to open and hit hard against the wall. He and Kevin rushed in, aiming their rifles. "Put your hands up," Avery heard Kevin order. The others rushed in and she observed those in the room.

Found The Cover Drawing

Hello and hope everyone is enjoying their night (or morning, for my friends overseas). Been busy writing still and good news, I finally found the sketch book with the cover drawing for the last two, When It Ends/Survive. So I am back to working on the cover.
What makes this cover special? It's drawn. The first three covers were photos of my actual zombie makeup efx I did myself, which are viewable on my Instagram. I also have been drawing the cover for sometime now and should be done soon. It will be revealed when the book is ready for purchase.
Plenty will be revealed in the last two books as well as plenty of characters deaths/demise.
Oh, also will share some "interesting" facts about the series. If you're interested in facts. Soon there will be a free promotion to Apocalypse World/Survive, as well as When The Dead Came 1 & 2. That's all for now, just checking in on here. As promised, here is a small sample of When It Ends/Aftermath:

Back in her "home", she dropped down onto her knees and dug through the bag, taking out the Eagle AE that she kept from Cleveland's SGO. The stranger ran into the room and she pointed the gun at him. The guy raised his hands, still holding his gun.

A Sample Of When It Ends/Aftermath

Hello, nice day today and I hope it is for all of you too. Been writing since I got up this noon. Mainly coffee, music, and writing. Plenty of action in this final book. If you read Survive, then you already know Avery made it away from Bull Creek alive. Since the last two books are going to be longer, I'll be sharing a little more sections from the books.
So, for you, a part from the book, When It Ends/Aftermath:

She began to walk back, when a shriek sound startled her. Looking to her right, an infected man in a striped button down shirt and jeans dove onto her from Horror. Avery put her arms up and the both of them fell to the floor, her back hitting hard and the crow bar sliding across the floor, three feet from her left hand.
"Oh fuck," she screamed out as she kept her hands against his shoulders, trying hard to keep him from digging his disease ridden nails into her skin. This is it, she told herself, I am going to finally die before the Horror section of a library.
Avery screamed, feeling her arms getting weak, not able to fight against the strength of a zombie.

That's about it for today. Time to get back to writing. Have a good day!

Love

Checking In On The Holiday

Hey everyone. Haven't posted in awhile, been busy elsewhere; but I am working on the final two books: When It Ends/The Aftermath. Plenty will be revealed, as well as a bit of information on the outbreak and other viruses.
These last two will be longer than the other books, so that's something to look forward to. Thinking of sharing facts about the series, been planning that out for sometime actually. Some of it is a bit fascinating (if you are into knowing the facts behind books). Will be doing more drawings, but sadly, still can't find the sketch book that has the cover I drew for these two last books.
I will be returning to writing now, just wanted to post an update.

Happy 4th of July and love
Ariana
