When The Dead Came 1 & 2

When The Dead Came Series Facts

I was saving this list for when the final book is done, but I can't wait any longer. All books have facts to the way it was created and inspiration. Here is the facts that led to it all.


1. The series started out as a movie script series I had written back in 2007 (Including specific actors and actresses I thought would play the characters if I ever made it into a movie).
2. Parts of the series are based on dreams I had over the years. The first dream was me in school and I looked out the window in Art Class, seen a zombie. The town was in flames and everyone running. In When The Dead Came, Avery sees her first infected while in Art Class.
3. Avery is loosely based on myself.
4. When the characters make decisions, it's usually from my own decisions, questioning what I would do in that situation.
5. In different scenarios, Avery was supposed to finally find love with Zach, Simon, or Howard (new characters in When It Ends/Aftermath).
6. The SGC was inspired by, believe it or not, the band Linkin Park. At the time of creating them, I had listened to a lot of their music.
7. I have a specific playlist for writing the series which is filled with rock and metal bands (the Music page).
8. To write the series, I listen to a lot of music and drink a lot of coffee.
9. In Survive, the group finds a town called Bull Creek. Although the town is fictitious, there is actually a Bull Creek in Utah; but it's actually a scenic route called Bull Creek Pass National Back County ByWay.
10. In When It Ends/Aftermath, a character named Kyle mentions a virus tested in Oklahoma. In the same book, a mystery character tells Alex about the patient, "Peter". Both are better understood in Epidemic Town and Infection.
11. Epidemic Town and Infection have not been released.
12. I was working on another titled BioHazard which would have allowed readers to better understand the characters. What they were doing before and during the start. But still debating on continuing that book.
13. In When The Dead Came, Alex and Avery were together originally in the script version.
14. In When It Ends/Aftermath, Holly was supposed to live happily ever after with a new character named Brandon.
15. Some of the characters are from other countries: Africa, Canada, and Mexico as well as other cultures. Which is homage to my friends from other countries and places here in the United States.




And now, a few facts that give a few hints to what to expect in When It Ends/Aftermath:
1. Originally in When It Ends/Aftermath, Alex was supposed to die from exposure to an airborne virus.
2. In the original writing of When It Ends/Aftermath, Avery was supposed to be with Trevor; but while writing, I went through divorce. I changed it to where Trevor cheats on her and she ends up alone. (It has been changed again since then, to leave a bit of mystery).
