Happy Friday everybody!!
Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.
Beginning:
Jett is a girl disguised as a boy, living as a gambler in the old West as she searches for her long-lost brother. Honoria Gibbons is a smart, self-sufficient young woman who also happens to be a fabulous inventor. Both young women travel the prairie alone – until they are brought together by a zombie invasion! As Jett and Honoria investigate, they soon learn that these zombies aren’t rising from the dead of their own accord … but who would want an undead army? And why? This gunslinging, hair-raising, zombie western mashup is perfect for fans of Cowboys vs. Aliens and Pride & Prejudice & Zombies.
Jett Gallatin expected trouble in Alsop, Texas -- but not zombies.Well, really, in Texas in 1867 who would expect zombies? I just had to keep reading.
Friday 56:
"I'm going to check the livery stable!" Jett shouted over the racket of the Auto-Tachypode. White Fox raised a hand to indicate he's heard, and she spurred ahead toward the stables.
The Auto-Tachypode is a horseless carriage powered by a steam engine.
The Auto-Tachypode sounds ike something I'd like and I agree, who would expect zombies? I'm an old follower, hop on over if you have the time:

Sounds like an exciting read! Love the name Jett.... I instantly think of John Travolta though...

ReplyDeletefunny you chose it despite the zombies! :) and if jett is that pretty lady in black, that's a very disguise!
ReplyDeleteI love that opening? Who, indeed, would expect zombies in 19th-century Texas?
ReplyDeleteZombies -- not for me.
