Tell us about Drake Halberd and the Veil of the Dead

It’s a fast action packed read with plenty of great moments. The main crew (Drake, Sullivan and Emma) are tasked with defeating the zombie virus and saving the world from utter terror, all while combating enemy military forces.

What genre is it?
It’s an Action Adventure/Sci-fi zombie tale with a mix of humour.

What kind of readers will it appeal to?
Zombie fans, people looking for a good fast read or lots of action.

Your book races at a mile a minute, how do you keep the pace up and how do you manage to bring your readers along?
The books moves along at exactly the same speed that Drake uses with his adventures; Hitting every corner and each jump at full speed. To bring the readers along, I have to think like Drake does and keep things as smooth as possible from one move to the next so everyone can keep up, including myself…

Tell us a bit more about Drake Halberd. Will we be seeing him in future books?
Drake is the type of guy who’s not afraid of challenge, and no matter where he goes, a new adventure seems to find him. He has only just begun his wild adventures and I have plenty of ideas for him in the future.

Complete this sentence for us: If you like______________, you’ll love Drake Halberd and the Veil of the Dead
Any zombie movie/game or the Uncharted video game series.

The book’s got acid-spitting zombies. Great idea.
Thank you! I’m always trying to bend my imagination to new ideas and things to catch people’s eyes and imaginations. I was also trying to figure out a new type of threat that Drake could face that most other zombie hunters never faced. I don’t think many people can say that they’ve faced acid spitting zombies inside a small cave dwelling before…

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I, like Drake, have a strong moral compass that strongly points towards protecting those that can’t protect themselves and hope that the readers feel a similar way. I love reading Japanese manga and watching anime. And I’m a gamer to the soul who has played and seen many different video games throughout my life. 

Have you got a website or blog where readers can keep up with your work? How can we follow you on Facebook and/or Twitter?
www.drakehalberd.com is my main website, but you can also follow me on my drake halberd Facebook fan page. You can also follow @HKowalenko on twitter who will be, and is, posting about all of my projects.

Where can we buy Drake Halberd and the Veil of the Dead?
It is available on all formats. Amazon ( US , UK ) , kobo, nook, sony, B&N, IUniverse.

What’s next?
For Drake? Alien armour, world-devouring mystical beings, and more mercenaries and soldiers than you could point a gun at.  I’m also creating other characters and ideas for my other works that will be coming up on future dates, such as a pair of witty detectives, a group of soldiers without a clue turned into heroes, and a dimension jumping blades man just looking for his love and family.
