HBT - Win "Zombie Queen of Newbury High"

CONTEST CLOSED!! WINNER CHOSEN.



If you read yesterday's post with a guest blog from author Amanda Ashby, you'd know what today's post was... A GIVEAWAY FOR HER BOOK "Zombie Queen of Newbury High"!! Amanda has generously offered one winner a copy of her young adult novel.

Book description:
High-school senior Mia inadvertently casts a spell that turns her entire senior class into flesh-eating zombies who believe that she is their especially tasty queen. Fortunately, the new kid at school, Chase, is actually an agent from the Department of Paranormal Containment, and it's his job to make sure such things never come to pass. It takes four days for the spell to fully evolve, so Mia; her best friend, Candice; and Chase spend that time romping through truly funny predicaments while desperately seeking to reverse the spell.

    I would survive a Zombie Apopcalypse by energetically rolling around in huge piles of garlic, seeing as how zombies (for reasons not yet understood) have a pronounced aversion to garlic.
    Except for ITALIAN zombies ... which is a whole 'nother apopcalyse lol

    +2 She slits her time living in probably the two places I most want to visit (England and New Zealand), and she has all my sympathy for the flying with two young kids, I am ever grateful my flight home is only an hour. Also, awesome about finding the silver lining to dark clouds.
    +1 I am a complete wimp and would find somewhere to hide and hope somebody would come save me.

    +2 I've learned that even bonified authors can come up with some real doozies for titles, "Lust in the Dust"! LOL! My friend always asks for help coming up with titles, but I've never come anything quite as... original... as that. ;}
    +1 How would you survive a zombie apocalypse?
    That's easy! Don't get eaten. Seriously, though, I do have a plan! First things first, you have to assess the situation. I'd do this by first determining whether the zombies were of the friendly or dangerous variety by playing Thriller. If the zombies don't fall into formation and start dancing, then I know the situation has gone critical and I need to escape. Weapon of choice: machete. It's hard to be scared when you're swinging a giant, menacing knife around, plus you don't need any special training.

    You know, on second thought, I'd want a Lobo as my weapon of choice. It's a shovel/ax hybrid featured in World War Z. Very handy, and designed specifically for dispatching zombies.

    +2 Go to Amanda's site and tell me something interesting you learned from her bio: She started to write after read Come Together (by Josie Lloyd and Emlyn Rees), because she found the sort of books she wanted to write.
    +1 How would you survive a zombie apocalypse?: The searching for water and food would be primordial. Then, look for long-range weapons or a big knife or machete. Finally, I would be hidden in some place, to gain time to make many traps!

    Thanks again!!
