A Long Walk (World of the Dead, #1)

When the dead rise a divorced father has to make his way through the zombie apocalypse to reach his daughter. He sets out with his loyal dog and a fast car. When the roads full of the undead prove to be impassable, the pair are forced to make their way on foot through hundreds of miles and thousands of the living dead.
The backroads of Nova Scotia give him new companions including a meth head and a teenage girl with a chip on her shoulder. As they travel together they will face obstacles even more dangerous than the zombies.

Traverse Davies was raised by a pack of wild hippies, during the seventies and eighties when such creatures roamed the forests unfettered and free. He discovered a love of books at an early age, and that love has only grown over the years. After years of working in IT he decided to branch out in the activities he did while hunched in front of a glowing screen tapping at a keyboard and added writing to his task list.
His skills outside of programming and writing include Taekwondo, Wilderness Survival (sort of), Ninjutsu, Parkour, Drawing, Photography, and crappy Photoshop work. He has lived in various countries, although he currently resides on the east coast of Canada. He is obsessed with post-apocalyptic survival and subverting as many genre's as possible
