Everyone died in the aftermath of the devastating Devil Virus that ravaged the entire population of Earth. There were no survivors. Five days later, however, the freshly dead returned to life.

Zombie Gang: Regenerated Earth tells a different kind of apocalyptic zombie story. Some returned as Deadheads, who are like predatory flesh-eating zombies. Another group of beings rises from the dead. Those beings are self-aware and they have retained some of their once held human traits.  A combination of human and zombie, they are called Zumans.

Zombie Gang: Regenerated Earth follows a teenage gang of Zumans as they struggle to balance their undead existence with their survival against Deadheads and other Zuman survivors, many of whom are dangerous and predatory themselves. At every turn, unspeakable horrors face them as the structures of society collapses all around them.

Led by 17-year old Enrico, the most human-like of the undead gang, he must lead the tattered remnants of society in the fight against the Deadhead uprising.

It is a war of undead versus the undead.

Oh, the Zumanity!

The last time we interviewed you it was about your fantasy book, Farrah in Fairyland. This sounds like a completely different genre of book.
I like to call ZGRE a teen horror novel that is disgusting enough to make the hairs on your neck stand up, but PG enough to keep the adults off your back.

What kind of readers will it appeal to?
Teens who liked to get creeped out for some fun!  Also those readers who love stories that are set within a surreal world of a zombie apocalypse.

Complete this sentence for us: if you like _________________, you’ll love my book.
If you like the movie Warm Bodies, you will love my book.  Although it is a little edgier, in Zombie Gang: Regenerated Earth the reader is introduced to a new type of self-conscious zombie that isn’t just a flesh eating, brain devouring monster.

Tell us a bit more about your main characters.
Enrico Pissano is the leader of a teenage gang of Zumans.  He is the most ‘intelligent’ of the gang and although he isn’t mentally of physically tough, his rational thought has helped to keep his gang alive.

Mona was Enrico’s girlfriend back when they were humans and some of this lustful desire has been re-established despite their undead existences.  Their Zuman relationship is quite complicated, which is expected of Zumans who are guided by primal emotions.

Although Enrico struggles with the concept of love, he knows that he can’t live without Mona.

How would you like the reader to feel as they read the last word of your book?
The last word reveals my twist in the story.  I am hoping that they are shocked.  I am also hoping that they will be excited for book  2, which will be out in 2014.

Tell us about some of your other books.
I have written five novels including Paulie Potatoes: Gangster Crusader.  This is a YA Sci-Fi / Action Adventure that follows Paulie, a teenager and wannabe gangster who just happens to have superpowers.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I have two wonderful children.  My son Mikey is 5 years old and my daughter Sici is 1 and a half.  They keep me young and add spirit to my life.  My wife and I will be celebrating out 8th anniversary this summer.  I have to thank her for the encouragement she has offered me and the patience that she often shows during my writing obsessions.

I like to dabble in everything from short stories, to poetry, to song lyrics, to picture books, to all kinds of fiction, and movie scripts.  I’m worried that if I stop writing, I’ll lose it – so I never want to stop.

Many of my story ideas are derived from my obsession with strange films and documentaries. My biggest inspiration however, is my students. I have been an elementary school teacher for eight years and I love using his storytelling ability to motivate in the classroom.

I’m just a big kid that loves to tell stories.
