Dead Hunt

DEAD HUNT is the story of six friends on a weekend trip that takes a horrifying turn when they are thrust into the heart of a pandemic, and an inconsolable scientist who will not accept the death of his little girl. Distraught with grief, he unknowingly releases a pathogen that does more than just kill - it brings the infected back with a ravenous appetite for human flesh. The lines between friendship and survival get blurred when the dead are hungry... and the dead hunt.

Author's Note: Dead Hunt was originally a screenplay that I was unable to film on a modest budget so I turned it into a novel and a full-cast audio book. This was my first attempt at writing a novel, and I'll be the first to admit that I made a lot of rookie mistakes.

It's not without its flaws, and there's so much that I would change. Rewriting it is on my to-do list to fix those mistakes - some of the dialog feels a bit stilted, some lazy descriptions, and I need more character development rather than using so many tropes. Plus, there's too many "red shirts" who are introduced for no reason other than to die.

Like I said, it was my first book and it's not without its flaws. I self-published it simply to have a print version to leave behind for my kids and grandkids. Now that I have a lot more experience as a writer, Dead Hunt will be rewritten into the story it was supposed to be. Hopefully those who couldn't see past its shortcomings in the original version will give the rewrite a second chance when I finish it.
