As of now, I am still searching for traditional publishers—yes, you can have multiple publishers if your book is exceptional. On the other hand, my ambitions extend beyond just publishing; I also envision it being adapted into a movie. As I mentioned before, this process may take weeks to several months, filled with thousands of Query Letter rejections that can cause paranoia. Sometimes, it feels like my castaway homie is spoofing my emails just to mess with my mind while I search for publishers that align with the type of manuscript they’re looking for.
In the meantime, I’m taking a break from writing and mostly blogging on Facebook and my blogging websites. The rest of my time is spent working out at the gym, enjoying foodies, and returning to my humble music studio to remake some of my older self-published musical albums, as well as create new material. Perhaps, sign a record label for more music streams. You can visit my SoundCloud to listen to my tracks.
Synopsis: The story begins
with a prologue set in a medieval world where a knight battles zombies to
rescue a princess. As the narrative unfolds, it is revealed that this tale is
actually a novella edited by Madilyn, one of the opening characters, inspired
by the film White Zombie. The character Doctor Murder, based on Murder
Legendre from White Zombie, also features in the PESTILENT manuscript.
The narrative showcases a diverse
cast of characters from various walks of life, including a hacker in trouble
with the cartel who seeks refuge in the enchanting town of Stellarville. He
finds shelter with a local named Eugene, who rents him a room and works as a
web developer for a Spanish/English church.
For the opening
characters, I maintained the medieval theme, as Madilyn and her husband,
Norman, are fans of Renaissance fairs, castles, princesses, queens, knights,
and so on. Eventually, these medieval fantasies became effective in an
apocalyptic environment.
Stellarville
became the chosen underground location to experiment with creating a giant
specimen called Pestilent, designed to spread a zombie virus originating from
an alien source discovered by Muller, aka Doctor Murder, in Haiti. He sold it
to a general planning to eradicate a population without using destructive
powers, such as nuclear weapons, to avoid causing ruins. The general was more
interested in the land's profitable development, including historical monuments.
However, the project malfunctioned, and the zombie virus spread in
Stellarville. Now, these diverse characters must band together to escape before
the president obliterates Stellarville by the deadline, all while navigating
drama, action, and humor.
From the first zombie film, White Zombie, where I got inspired of the names Doctor Murder and Madilyn for my manuscript PESTILENT: A Zombie Apocalypse Novel.
Description: PESTILENT” follows Doctor
Hans Muller, infamously known as Doctor Murder, who, in his obsessive pursuit
of reanimating the dead, creates a formula that instead transforms the deceased
into monstrous entities. As his sanity unravels, Muller sells the formula to an
eccentric general with sinister plans to use it to subjugate his people. To
ensure the success of this deadly project, they relocate to the remote town of
Stellarville, where the virus takes on a life of its own, leading to catastrophic
consequences. Through its unique blend of apocalyptic horror and satirical
drama, “PESTILENT” explores the unintended consequences of unchecked ambition
and the thin line between genius and madness.
