Cover Reveal – Scouts of the Apocalypse: Zombie Masters

Cover Reveal – Scouts of the Apocalypse: Zombie Masters The cover for Scouts of the Apocalypse: Zombie Masters is here and I couldn’t be happier!

The book itself is also in the final stages of preparation, sitting with the printer and distributors. You can have your own copy of the book October 31st. I know, I can’t wait. πŸ™‚
