It is a novella-sized piece, almost 37,000 words. I don't think I could stretch it out or crunch it down any further to make it better than it is. I am going to try the traditional publisher route first before considering to do it myself. Pros and Cons of both, but I figure until I can build my brand and my own following, if that is how things will come to roll, then I figure I should put it under the noses of traditional publishers who can hopefully offer to reach a wider audience than little ole me trying to wave my own flag. (Though, even with traditional publishing you, as the author, still need to help SELL IT. No problem there.)
Anyway, here is a teaser AND an awesome sketch by Mr Tim Holtrop who, though he offers only this sketch, does some great finished work also.
Will keep you informed.
(Also, have started a new story, takes place in same time/place as TRANSPORT, including some rough ideas for a TRANSPORT 2 story featuring APC Ridgerunner Huron and her misfit crew.)
*******
The
year is 2025.
When
Commissioner Wilhelm DeGage's helicopter goes down in hostile territory, it is
up to Captain Jacob "Jake" Billet and his crew to bring the official
home. With only an armored personnel carrier, Jake and his crew brave the
infected lands, pushed to the limits of their honor in order to rescue DeGage
despite the horror of his past transgressions.
And
then there are the zombies.
Getting
from Point A to Point B has never been so dangerous.
