The Med School Series
You
don’t have to be a medical student to know the dead don’t walk.
Anyone who’s buried a pet in the backyard knows they don’t even
lurch. Which is not helping Giovanni on his adventures through med
school! Join him over 8 semesters in this new series of YA/NA
novellas for a whole new take on B-movie monsters.
Giovanni
Goes To Med School
Working the night-shift in the morgue was supposed to be a chance to
study in peace and quiet. At least until Giovanni’s dead patient
sat up and started fussing at him! Now he’s got to convince her
she’s dead or convince an unbelieving medical community to take
action, so he can get back to learning about the dead – not the
undead!
Excerpt
Giovanni
sighed and put down the paperwork. He didn’t see where he could do
anything more for Mrs. Harris and the hope that maybe he’d done
enough started to creep up on him. After all, the other, fully
qualified doctors had administered the actual anesthetic. He was
probably just feeling indoctrinated guilt from being raised in a
large Catholic, Italian family.
Dimly
in the background, he heard a mournful howl. Rufus, he thought with
an inward eye roll and it didn’t even occur to him how eerily
appropriate it was for the dog to howl just then. Instead, he reached
for a pen and the toe tag on the bundle in front of him, determined
to ensure that Mrs. Harris reached her final rest without mistake.
The
toe tag pulled away. Frowning, Giovanni reached again. The toe tag
slid away from him and he watched horrified as the swathed figure
writhed, then sat up. From somewhere behind him, he could hear
frantic barking and a high-pitched wail. When he gasped for breath,
he realized the wail came from him even as the cocooned corpse bent
forward and mumbled, “Sonny, you scream like a girl.”

Giovanni
Meets A Coven
Having successfully dealt with his first zombie, Giovanni is looking
forward to the upcoming semester. Then the accidents start, costing
Giovanni not one, but two jobs and no end of embarrassment, not to
mention multiple contusions and abrasions! Is it just bad luck or is
the curse of the zombie out to get him? And which of the voodoo
queens suddenly surrounding him can he trust to help out?

Excerpt
“Look out!”
The scream hit him right before the
buffer did, but the buffer got his attention. The thunder of the
machine’s engine roared in his ears as Giovanni scrambled to escape
the grinding monster, but it churned after him even as he fled down
the hospital corridor. He dodged the buffer’s mechanical pursuit,
but even as he leapt over it, the buffer followed, hounding him
relentlessly. Giovanni gasped for breath and staggered as he landed.
As he fumbled to his feet, he felt the hem of his baggy scrubs catch.
“Turn it off, turn it off!” he yelled.
A couple of orderlies fell over each
other to reach the power cord even as the janitor fumbled for the
power switch. Giovanni tried to kick the machine off his legs and
found they were pinned. He could feel the fabric of his scrubs
tightening around his legs as the buffer consumed it, but that panic
was quickly replaced by the realization of what damage the buffer
could do once it ate through the material. The surface epidermis
across the ankles was thin, but more alarmingly, the subcutaneous
dermis contained almost no adipose tissue. Those scrubbing brushes
were about to chew through his skinny, little legs down to crispy,
crunchy bone.
