Mark Henry - Battle of the Network Zombies (Amanda Feral, Book 3)

Praise for Mark Henry and Happy Hour of the Damned !

Dark, twisted and completely hilarious. I loved this book!

Michelle Rowen, author of Lady & The Vamp

Call them the splatteratiwerewolves who always know what to wear, zombies with bodies to die for, and vampires who know their fang shuijust dont call them late when it comes to happy hour, or the drinks might be on you.

David Sosnowski, author of Vamped

Happy Hour of the Damned is it a comedy? An urban fantasy? A whodunit? Who cares! Mark Henrys written such a clever and engaging story that fans of any genre will totally adore it. Amanda Feral is the freshest, funniest character to come out of fiction since Bridget Jones and my only regret is shes not real and we cant go out for drinks. (Because, really? Zombies are the new black.) In short? I loved this book!

Jen Lancaster, author of Bitter Is the New Black

More brisk, batty, raunchy, and catty than a room full of cougars with a margarita machine. Happy Hour of the Damned is funny as hell.

Cherie Priest, author of Not Flesh Nor Feathers

Gruesome, ghoulish and utterly groundbreaking. Mark Henry is daring and scathingly funny.

Jackie Kessler, author of Hotter Than Hell

And praise for Road Trip of the Living Dead !

What can I say about Road Trip of the Living Dead ? Its irreverent, gross and disgusting. All in a good way. I LOVED it!!

Jeanne C. Stein, author of Legacy

In turns hilarious and twisted, Road Trip of the Living Dead is a book Ill never forget. Who knew fashion-obsessed flesh eaters could be so engaging? Fans of any genre wont be able to put this book down as they fall into the darkly comedic world of Amanda Feral and her undead companions. Edgy and evocative, Road Trip is a must read! Im looking forward to reading future works from this talented author.

Anya Bast, author of Witch Heart

Hilariously wicked, Road Trip of the Living Dead s Amanda Ferals antics had me rolling on the floor with laughter. Between the snarky footnotes and the quirky, sassy voice, this book rocked my world.

Tate Hallaway, New York Times bestselling author of Romancing the Dead

A spew-licious snark fest straight from Winnebago hellMark Henry drives this adventure with masterful wit!

Dakota Cassidy, author of The Accidental Human

I didnt see how Mark Henry would be able to top Amanda Ferals first adventure, but Road Trip of the Living Dead is even more raucous, lewd, and hilarious. How could I have doubted his genius? His savoir faire ? His ability to create scenarios so horrifying and guilt-inducing funny? Amanda Feral rules the urban fantasy landscape. To miss out on this novel would be trs gauche!

Michele Bardsley, nationally bestselling author of Wait Till Your Vampire Gets Home

Acknowledgments

Thanks to everyone who supports me and puts up with my bullshit during the course of writing and promoting a book, particularly

my darling Caroline, who not only deals with the snarky mood conjuring up Amanda inevitably brings, but also edits the crap out of my first draft.

Jaye Wells and Leah Sharp Hodge, who wrestled with my writing demons right alongside me, for much of this book.

my agent, Jim McCarthy, and editor, John Scognamiglio, for not calling me a hack every time I turn in a manuscriptor anytime, for that matter.

my lovely and talented beta reader, Stacia Kane, for getting the jokes and giving it to me straight.

the South Sound Algonquins, whose tireless efforts make me a better writer and who listen to the vilest of the vile right out in public.

the members of Team Seattle and The League of Reluctant Adults for making going on book tour, and conference and convention off-hours such a fantastic time.

Todd Thomas, Synde Korman, and Terri Smythe, whose time would probably be better spent not having to deal with the League forum.

all the awesome booksellers and librarians Ive met over the past few yearsyour efforts are much appreciated.

the readers who consistently surprise me with their depravity and hunger for the foul-mouthed undead.

my friends and family who barely see me when Im in the home stretch and only give me a little shit about it.

and, finally, all the online folks, Glamazombies, yahoos, tweeps, and Facebookerswithout you, I might actually be more productive.

Wheres the fun in that?
