Hi Everyone! I'm M.M. Shelley and I'd like to give a BIG thanks to Nancy for having me on her blog today so that I can share my novella:
The Zombie Story
My story is about Magick and Zombies, a little different take on the Zombie genre and follows the adventures of Orlando as he arrives in a new city.
Elodie Juarez is a free spirit, she does what she wants without worrying about how it might look to others; yet she is all heart. She is Ruben's younger sister. Their parents died, leaving them orphans and alone.
Elodie is well aware of the sacrifices her brother has made in order to keep them together. Although she has made her own sacrifices; she internalizes everything in order to keep things from her brother. She is a genius with numbers and knows how to handle herself with a computer.
She has the habit of following her brother when she wants to know what he is really up to and it's how she learns that Ruben has become involved with underground fighting in order to make money. She has done her part selling essays online and assisting the occasional customer in need of her computer expertise for a little extra cash.
She sees Orlando as a kindred spirit and takes it upon herself to help him with what she can while simultaneously keeping the peace between Orlando and Ruben who are always challenging each other.
Elodie is considered a misfit at school, but that doesn't bother her. She knows that without her help and skills many of her classmates would meet a tragic death at the hands of those who are using outcast and lost souls for experiments which in turn are creating zombies and other creatures of the night.

Review
The following review is my opinion and not a paid review. I was given a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.
I love reading books that are about zombies. So when I read the title of the book, The Zombie Story I was like fantastic a zombie book, oh yeah! I knew it would be a great read, no doubt about it. Then I read the summary and it said Orlando was a zombie hunter. I thought zombie hunter, ummm wonder what this entails? I couldn't wait to find out. And you know what? I was not disappointed. Why? Because I loved it with the new and exciting twist on the zombies. It is not the end of the world. The world is still there and I know Orlando hopes it stays that way.
Orlando has just moved to Los Angeles from out west. Now Orlando is not thrilled about having to move but what choice did he have in the matter. When his parents said we're moving, well that was it they were moving weather he liked it or not.
On Orlando first day in his new home alone he sees a man kill another man. He just shot him in cold blood as far as Orlando knew. Shoots him right out in the middle of the street in broad open daylight as they say. But the thing is Orlando is the only one who saw or heard it. What is going on here? Why did the man kill him? Why did no one besides Orlando see a man commit murder? Or was it murder?
Later that night his grandfather introduces him to a man by the name of Maxwell, a friend of his grandfathers who is a zombie hunter. His grandfather informs him that now he is a zombie hunter and will be starting his training real soon.
Orlando lives in a world where most of the people have magick abilities. Everyone is tested to find out what level their abilities are on. What level or how powerful their magick is determines which high school they will attend. What level is Orlando's magick on? Will he score high on the test? Or not?
Do you like reading a good zombie story with a little magick thrown in then I believe that you would love The Zombie Story. Why don't you head on over to Amazon right now and pick up your own copy? Hey it is currently free for your Kindle.
