Scouts of the Apocalypse: Zombie Masters

Posted on October 16, 2018 by Michell

It’s Here! It has been two years since the zombie apocalypse ended, but Scouter Mike continues to relive the horror every day in his dreams. When he and his Scouts are invited to the World Jamboree in Japan, he is reluctant to go. But go he does and it isn’t long before the horror starts again. But why now?

We will be helping the Scouts build the quinzees and then they will have the opportunity to […]

The Scouts are Coming to Save the Day

One thing I never really anticipated was the stories I would get from them. I mean, I get ideas from everything I do, but never did I think a full-blown story would come. I think I may have talked about my book Scouts of the Apocalypse once or twice. That book came from a campfire story I told my Scout troop. By the time I got home, I knew I had something special.
