<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Teenage delinquent Angel Crawford lives with her redneck father in the swamps of southern Louisiana. But when she's made into a zombie after a car crash, her addictions disappear, except for her all-consuming need to stay "alive." Original.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Horror meets humorous urban fantasy in first book of the White Trash Zombie series<b> -</b> Winner of the 2012 Best Urban Fantasy Protagonist by the RT Awards</b> <p/>Angel Crawford is a Loser. <p/>Living with her alcoholic deadbeat dad in the swamps of southern Louisiana, she's a high school dropout with a pill habit and a criminal record who's been fired from more crap jobs than she can count. Now on probation for a felony, it seems that Angel will never pull herself out of the downward spiral her life has taken. <p/>That is, until the day she wakes up in the ER after overdosing on painkillers. Angel remembers being in a horrible car crash, but she doesn't have a mark on her. To add to the weirdness, she receives an anonymous letter telling her there's a job waiting for her at the county morgue--and that it's an offer she doesn't dare refuse. <p/>Before she knows it she's dealing wth a huge crush on a certain hunky deputy and a brand new addiction: an overpowering craving for brains. Plus, her morgue is filling up with the victims of a serial killer who decapitates his prey--just when she's hungriest! <p/>Angel's going to have to grow up fast if she wants to keep this job and stay in one piece. Because if she doesn't, she's dead meat. <p/>Literally.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Praise for the White Trash Zombie series: <p/>"Rowland is a hilarious writer, and her <b>White Trash Zombie series shines in a crowded genre</b>." --<i>USA Today</i> <p/>"<b>An incredibly fun series, and a breath of fresh air in an increasingly crowded field</b>.... While there's no denying that the basic premise is fascinating and entertaining, the real draw here is Angel's personal journey of growth and self-discovery." --Tor.com <p/>"Uber-talented Rowland takes a break from her Demon series to produce a wonderful story with a zombie heroine who is endearing and engaging. This unique twist on a coming-of-age story explores a young woman's journey toward self-acceptance in the face of long odds. <b>Throw in the need for brains and a nasty serial killer and presto--you have the recipe for a terrific read</b>!" --<i>RT Book Reviews</i> <p/> "<b>An intriguing mystery and a hilarious mix of the horrific and mundane aspects of zombie life</b> open a promising new series from Rowland.... Humor and gore are balanced by surprisingly touching moments as Angel tries to turn her (un)life around." --<i>Publishers Weekly<br></i><br>"Rowland's delightful novel jumps genre lines with<b> a little something for everyone--mystery, horror, humor, and even a smattering of romance</b>. Not to be missed--all that's required is a high tolerance for gray matter. For true zombiephiles, of course, that's a no brainer." --<i>Library Journal <p/></i>"Blending very mild horror, humor and mystery, I was hooked from the start. <b>Both urban fantasy and zombie fans will enjoy this highly entertaining novel</b>. Full of suspense, drama, and several surprising twists, this is one zombie story I couldn't get enough of." --Sci Fi Chick<br><i><br></i>"Angel will make you laugh out loud, and she will also make you come close to losing your lunch. After all, these are creatures that suck down pureed brains for a pick-me-up.... <b>Angel is a distinct character, and she has grown through the series</b>." --Kings River Life Magazine <p/>"<b>Equally gross and heartwarming, disgusting and riveting</b>, <i>My Life as a White Trash Zombie</i> is a clever read. If you like to see a flawed heroine pull herself back up, and can handle visceral imagery, it's a brilliant book. Fans of Carolyn Crane, Stacia Kane and Allison Pang will dig on this one. Big time." <i>--</i>Vampirebookclub.net<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Diana Rowland</b> has lived her entire life below the Mason-Dixon line.
