Just a word about the Alexa Hernandez books... As you may have noticed, I'm not Hispanic, and you might wonder what the deal is.
My wife is Latinx, and my suegro is originally from Durango, Mexico. When I met her, I fell in love with the culture of Santa Ana, California, and my new family. By extension, I also fell in love with Durango (Gomez Palacios in particular).
I wanted to write a new hero that reflects what I have learned and celebrates it. I'll also admit that Alexa is somewhat based on my wife.
Back to my bio...
Life is what happens when you're making other plans. Writing is like that.
My first novel, Blood Soaked and Contagious happened by accident. I'd been mulling over a conversation with other knifemakers about the proper weapon for the zombie apocalypse when I designed something rather unique. When I investigated sourcing the proper material to make the thing come to life, the dollar signs made me wince.
I said to myself, "Well! I'll just write about it, then!"
My first novel, and subsequent two, followed.
My fourth book,"Manleigh Cheese," is a diversion from zombie horror into politics, food trucks, spirituality, and bad deals. Some people say it predicted a bit of modern politics, but I vehemently deny that I can see the future. I simply like good food and artisan cheese.
(Unfortunately, the publisher of "Manleigh Cheese" closed. I do not have plans to re-release it.)
Over the course of the past few years, I've been published in a few charity anthologies, and am embarking on an entirely new series.
Keep watching, reading, and reviewing.
