"In the Walking Dead universe, there is no greater villain than The Governor. The despot who runs the walled-off town of Woodbury, he has his own sick sense of justice: whether it’s forcing prisoners to battle zombies in an arena for the townspeople’s amusement, or chopping off the appendages of those who cross him. The Governor was voted “Villain of the Year” by Wizard magazine the year he debuted, and his story arc was the most controversial in the history of the Walking Dead comic book series. Now, for the first time, fans of The Walking Dead will discover how The Governor became the man he is, and what drove him to such extremes."

The book is also currently available in hardcover, Kindle and audio CD editions.

Releasing tomorrow, Angela Scott's WANTED: Dead or Undead, The Zombie West Series (Book 1):

"Trace Monroe doesn't believe in luck.  He never has. But when a fiery-headed cowgirl saunters through the saloon doors, wielding shotguns and a know-how for killing the living dead, he believe he just may be the luckiest man alive.

Trace wants to join "Red's" posse, but she prefers to work alone - less messy that way.  In order to become her traveling companion, Trace has to agree to her terms: no names, no questions, an if he gets bit, he can't beg for mercy when she severs his brain stem.  He agrees, knowing only that Red is the sharpest shooter he's ever encountered.  The fact she's stunning hasn't escaped his attention either.

What he doesn't know, is that Red has a very good reason to be on top of her game.  She not only has the answer for how they can all outlive the plague talking over the wild, wild west, she is the answer."

WANTED: Dead or Undead, The Zombie West Series (Book 1) is available in paperback and Kindle editions.

Evolved Publishing has a free preview of a chapter from the book here.
