In this episode of the Zombie Book Club, we're joined by Jo Salazar, the brilliant mind behind the much-anticipated novel "The Dead Weight." Jo shares her remarkable journey from a career in social work to becoming a self-published author. From her preference for the zombie apocalypse over a mundane 40-hour work week to her insights on weaponry and survival tactics, Jo's anecdotes are as captivating as they are insightful.
Join us as we dissect the complexity of characters in apocalyptic settings, particularly focusing on Quinn, the 16-year-old protagonist of Jo's novel. Discover how Quinn's keen observational skills and lack of empathy make for a compelling and dangerous character, reminiscent of Dexter. From Jo's early horror inspirations to the challenges of querying literary agents, her experience with the Hilary Harwell controversy and the decision to self-publish, this episode is a treasure trove of advice and inspiration for aspiring writers. Tune in for an engaging discussion on the intricacies of writing, the importance of persistence, and the collective effort involved in bringing a story to life.
