Welcome to the Crawl!
Hi, there. ER Arroyo here, co-founder of Band of Dystopian Authors & Fans (aka BOD). We have been having a blast this year at our second annual Zombie Crawl and we hope you're enjoying it too!

My husband and I got married the same month The Walking Dead debuted on AMC, and it's always an easy reminder of how many seasons the show is up to, or maybe The Walking Dead is an easy reminder of how long we've been married... either way! Of course, we love - LOVE - the show.

It should come as no surprise that, as an admin of BOD, I sort of live in zombie-world all year round as zombies are always a big hit in the group and almost always a regular topic of BOD conversation.

For my anniversary this year, my husband took me to a place in northern Tennessee for a zombie hunting paintball adventure. We had an absolute blast. The trip was a total surprise to me, but once we were there it dawned on me we had the crawl coming up and I just HAD to document the trip for you all!Waiting in lineWhile waiting in line for tickets, some creatures were roaming around, suddenly RIGHT THERE. Of course, being the calm, collected individual that I am... I made sure to only take pics from afar and not to look them in the eye. LOL. I ain't skeert! (First things first... Shooting GalleryNo moving targets. Good way to get our feet wet. Zombie Hunting Paintball HayrideThis was the event's main attraction. You ride around on a hayride with your paintball gun bolted to the rails. The zombies were understandably covered in protective gear, so not too scary looking. Unfortunately, I don't have any pics of zombies because I was too busy shooting them. Sorry!I ran out of ammo before it was over... but whatever. :)The thing we feared most... Dark Room!Touted as an escape game... we didn't know what to expect other than darkness. Were there terrifying things hiding within this trailer's walls? Zombies? Would there be any light at all? This turned out to be our favorite feature of the entire night! We were informed while waiting in line that only one team had successfully gotten out that night. We were determined, but we didn't make it! Turns out... this one had nothing to do with zombies and everything to do with problem solving skills. We wanted to try again when our fifteen minutes were up!Night of the Living Dead on the Lawn?Nice touch. But ain't nobody got time for that. Zombie Mission!ÌýA trek through the woods with paintball shotguns, a few obstacles, and sneaky zoms to kill! These guns were much more accurate and I wished we'd had them all night! Super fun! That wasn't so bad!At the end of the evening we picked up our free t-shirts and headed for the exit, but first... it was time to face those scary characters from the entrance.... And no, I still wouldn't look them in the face. Ha!If you ever get the chance, you should totally check out an event like this! We had a blast! Check out my giveaway below and I hope you enjoy the rest of the crawl! (P.S. There's a THRILLER happening at BOD.

From the imaginations of twenty authors of dystopian and post-apocalyptic fiction comes PREP FOR DOOM - an integrated collection of short stories that tell the tale of a single catastrophe as experienced by many characters, some of whom will cross paths.

What begins with a seemingly innocuous traffic accident soon spirals into a global pandemic. The release of Airborne Viral Hemorrhagic Fever upon New York City’s unsuspecting populace brings bloody suffering within hours, death within a day, and spreads worldwide within a month.

An online community called Prep For Doom has risen to the top of a recent doomsday preparation movement. Some have written them off as crazy while others couldn’t be more serious about the safety the preppers could provide in a global disaster. But when AVHF strikes, their preparation may not be enough to save them.

From authors Laura Albins, ER Arroyo, Amy Bartelloni, Brea Behn, Casey L. Bond, TK Carter, Kate Corcino, Harlow C. Fallon, Kelsey D. Garmendia, Caroline A. Gill, DelSheree Gladden, John Gregory Hancock, Casey Hays, Kate L. Mary, Jon Messenger, Monica Enderle Pierce, Cameo Renae, Hilary Thompson, Yvonne Ventresca, and Megan White.

I'm thrilled to tell you about this project! Since around the new year, I've been putting insane hours into this and I'm so proud that we are almost done. Nineteen other authors and I have put together this incredible book, an anthology like none of us have seen before. A cohesive story wherein each story is a chapter, a piece of the overall tale.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý Kallos Enterprises is a well respected corporation, set on improving the genetic structure of an individual. Or so they say.

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý After arriving in the city, she meets Logan, a boy from her past who changes all the rules. She doesn’t remember him, but he remembers her. His position at Kallos Enterprises is useful, his presence is unnerving, and he makes her question everything she knows about herself to be true. If her perfect memory can’t remember Logan, what else about her past is wrong?Ìý
ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý Time is running out. Anastasia has nowhere to turn, but to trust the one person who’s a memory she should have, but doesn’t. With a madman threatening their every step, Anastasia and Logan must uncover the truths behind Kallos experiments and hope that the answers they find won’t destroy the world forever.
