As tattoo artist Star begins to ink her first client on a spring Sunday morning, something goes horribly wrong with the world... Belfast's hungover lapse into a deeper sleep than normal, their sudden deaths causing an unholy mess of crashing cars, smoldering televisions and falling aircraft.
In the chaotic aftermath a group of post-apocalyptic survivors search for purpose in a devastated city. Ageing DJ Sean Magee and shifty-eyed Barry Rogan find drunken solace in a hotel bar. Ex-IRA operative Mairead Burns and RIR soldier Roy Beggs form an uneasy alliance to rebuild community life. Elsewhere, a mysterious Preacher Man lures shivering survivors out of the shadows with a promise of redemption.
Choked by the smell of death, Ireland’s remaining few begin the journey toward a new life, fear and desperation giving rise to new tensions and dark old habits. But a new threat--as gorgeous as it is deadly--creeps slowly out of life’s wreckage. Fueled by feral hunger and a thirst for chaos, the corpses of the beautiful are rising…
"Armed with a devilish wit, quirky dialogue, and a unique, palpable flavor, DROP DEAD GORGEOUS provides readers with a fly-on-the-wall view as the shit gloriously hits the fan in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Where's Bono when you need him?"
--Andre Duza, author of DEAD BITCH ARMY
"Rough, filthy and completely brilliant..."

Wayne! Good to see you here. I can honestly say that Drop Dead Gorgeous was one of the books that influenced me to write a zombie book. Can't wait for the sequel!

I enjoyed DDG for certain and wrote a review on Amazon. I hope you do very well with it and I too look forward to the sequel.
Wow, thanks guys.
I figured it was about time I joined you all over here.
I couldn't find an intro thread, mind...
Hey ya Wayne!! So glad you have joined up. Nice to have you on board.
There is a introduction thread over at 'Undead Greetings'. We are a bit free form really.
Hey did you sort out that coffee vending machine that was dishing out free drinks months after the zombie uprising?
hahah! Fred, I think I toned it down a little, making it a small coffee maker as opposed to a machine! lol
You had a chance to pick it up yet, fred? You know you should... ;)
Patrick, I loved your amazon review, man. Very thoughtful and great constructive criticism. Cheers for that.
Yeah WaynE1 Welcome aboard the board and start writing me a bacon horror story :D
Hello Wayne nice too see you here.
LOL It would be rude NOT to buy the book especially as I have in some small way contributed to the realism of the story 
Who would've thought my extensive (haha) knowledge of vending machines would have such an impact on the publishing world LOL
I have just ordered it via Amazon and also Mr Atkin's Twilight sequel, which I didn't realise was out! So thanks on 2 fronts.
You still going in for the Most Inked Man In Progress competition?
Fred, you're a ... 'star'!
Yeah, still working on that inking thing. I have some pics from a recent signing I did at LIVERPOOL TATTOO CONVENTION - must post them! :)
Hey - thanks for the kind welcome, everyone! Some familiar faces! :)
Psst... do I have two threads here? Whoops! Over-pimpage!
Hey Wayne!!
'Bout frickin' time you made it over here! All of you Good Librarians need to read "DDG". It's an incredible book. JUST INCREDIBLE!!
I haven't steered you wrong yet guys/gals. Buy a copy today!
Doc
You may have as many threads as you, we aren't stingy lol.
Post the tats, post the tats.
Amazon have just told me my book is on the way. Woohoo! Or should that be Hoohaa?
HOOOOO-HAAAAA!

Well, kinda. I think he says HOOO-AAAH. But it's close.
Doc, thanks for the welcome! I see Tariq's making merry hay with the website! Loooooking goood.

Fred, I think it is HOOO-AAAH, the great Al says there. Wonderful flick! 'I would have taken a flame thrower to this place!' lol
Hooo-haaaa. Got my copy of DDG today. It's in the queue. Got to finish Reign of the Dead 2 then DDG, then reread Twilight (of the dead) before starting on the sequel (that also arrived today).
I'm in zombie book heaven.
