FLU by Wayne Simmons

[HOO-HAA]

if anythi8ng its a relevant subject to write about considering the govt/pharma/WHO scares/scams that we have had lately with flu so its keeping up with the zeitgeist at least.

That features fairly heavily, Peter... 

And thanks for the well wishes, man.

Well done, HOO-HAA. It looks and sounds very interesting and I'll be keeping a close eye on this. I wish you the best of luck with it.

Good luck with this HOO HA.

[HOO-HAA]

Gavin, Peter, Kerrin... thanks a lot.

With writing being a solitary pursuit, it means a lot to have encouragement.

I'll keep this thread up to date with reviews, news etc. as I get it.

Thanks, again! 

[Mike Gloady]

Well done sir.  Keep us informed.

[IAMTHESYSTEM]

Sounds very topical HOO-HAA I'll look out for this Maytime.

[HOO-HAA]

Thanks, guys...

And, yeah, I can't pretend not to have been inspired by recent events...

A big thanks to any boarders who helped make FLU's first day in stock, at AmazonUK, so successful. The book spent the best part of Saturday in the top 50 horror novels - thanks to all those who ordered a copy. Thanks, again

Pete - thanks a lot, man. I really appreciate the support and hope you enjoy the book. Be sure and let us know what you think of it.

The first review (that I know of) has appeared on the Amazon page (4 stars out of 5) and Kamvision blog. Here's the gist:

'In summary Flu is a belligerent little number. An easy to read, action packed blast of zombie shenanigans, that I thoroughly enjoyed. Above all I found it a fun read, and unlike the zombie hordes within, it certainly wasn't brain dead.'
