A Month of Treats Interview with author Jesse Petersen

Welcome to zombie week!

Julie over at My 5 Monkey's had part one of Living with the Dead series author Jesse Petersen. Today I have part two where I ask Jesse which supernatural creature she would want on her side in battle and more....

This is a really fun series - if you haven't read it yet be sure to check it out!




Eat Slay Love (Living with the Dead #3)
Sarah and David have survived the zombie apocalypse. They stood side by side and fought the undead, mad scientists, and even bionic monsters until the unthinkable happened. A zombie bite. But not even that could stop them. Now, with a possible cure in hand, they're headed east, looking for a safe zone behind the rumored "Wall." They're feeling pretty optimistic.

That is until Dave stops sleeping and starts lifting huge objects.

Eat. Slay. Love.

Because they haven't got a prayer.


Welcome to For What It's Worth Jesse!

Karen: What is your best, worst or funniest costume you've ever worn? (any embarrassing pictures to see?)
Jesse: A couple of years ago I was a dark faerie. Had the black wig and the wings and everything. I liked the costume but every time I turned, I nearly broke stuff all over the party. I was dangerous. Looked for pictures, but couldn't find any. Last year I was a witch for a storytelling thing at the zoo where I volunteered.

Karen: It's the end of the world. Who would prefer to battle against? Witches, zombies, werewolves, vampires or ghosts?
Jesse: Huh, well zombies just keep coming and never surrender, so no zombies. I don't want to be turned into a frog or something, so no wtiches. I'm sort of scared of strange dogs, so no werewolves. And how do you kill a ghost? So I guess vampires.

Karen: What paranormal creature would you want on your side during the battle?
Jesse: If I could control zombies, I'd say zombies. They don't stop, remember, so they're the perfect soldier.


Karen: What is your favorite thing about Halloween and the fall season?
Jesse: Since we moved, I'm looking forward to lovely weather and having it cool enough to go outside and hike and stuff.

Karen: Are you dressing up this year? Do you decorate and go all out for the holiday or do you turn off the lights to pretend you're not home?
This year we are dressing up! Our nephews live in the same town we now do and they're having a party we've been invited to. So Aunt Jesse needs to figure out a cute, not too scary, not too slutty costume. As for giving out candy, I have no idea how active our new neighborhood is, so I guess we'll find out!

Karen: Thanks Jesse for joining Julie and I for our Month of Treats celebration!

Jesse’s life as a writer began when her husband made the brilliant observation that she was much happier writing than doing anything else. So she took the plunge and decided to do that full-time. After many years and many books in different sub-genres, she was bitten by the zombie bug (not a zombie, but the bug) and took off on a zany adventure which culminates in the publication of the “Living With the Dead” series from Orbit.

  3. Yeah, having zombies on your side would be pretty cool, if you could control them, but I'm betting that just isn't possible.

    Awesome costume!
