This Would Be Paradise
by N.D. Iverson
Genre: Post Apocalyptic
Blurb
In a world where a virus has spread turning most of the population into flesh eating monsters, there are two friends partying it up in New Orleans when the infection hits. Far away from home, they are trapped and trying to make sense of all that has happened with the help of new friends and enemies along the way. Zombies aren’t the only thing to fear…

Excerpt
We were all doomed to be food for the wormsβ sooner or later. Why not end it now? I could hear growling coming from the crowd; some had started to lightly bang on the fence. They didnβt realize they were powerless to knock over their obstacle with their decaying arms like dried tree branches. But they were powerful enough to take down this world; the irony was almost too much.
Dead, infected people owned this place now. They marched into the streets like all armies before them, except they didnβt discriminate. We were all fair game. All races, all colors, all genders. We were all equally screwed.
I slid down the rough outside paneling of the house, resting my head in my hands and wept.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
- D. Iverson is young author trying to find her niche in the world. She has a business degree; to which she is still trying to find a practical application for. She has bounced from half-baked ideas of becoming a forensic pathologist (cut short when the option for attending an autopsy came up and she rather quickly decided maybe that wasn’t for her), a member of a rock band (sadly, neither her nor her friends could play instruments or sing, not that it’s a requirement these days…) and many more. β¨β¨This Would Be Paradise is her first completed book, which has started a chain reaction of one-too-many book ideas dancing around in her head. She plans on wrangling in these ideas and making full fledged books from them. So keep an eye out on the horizon for more works to come!

Thank you for the chance to win π
Thank you for entering (I assume :P).
Always a pleasure to share:)
Post Apocalyptic is an exciting genre.
I agree π
Yep. Throw in some zombies and a location oozing with history and mystery, scary good.
I agree!
Yay another zombie book. Count me in!
We are legion, for we are many…or however that goes! π
I hear ya, Sandra! Can’t get enough of them.
We are legion, for we are many…or however that goes π But yay for zombies!
Thanks for hosting!
I’m happy to share. Such a thrilling story!
What is your favorite non-fiction?
I don’t really read non-fiction because I like to read to escape reality, so to speak π
Could you describe the mundane details of writing: How many hours a day to you devote to writing? Do you write a draft on paper or at a keyboard (typewriter or computer)?
Umm well…I don’t really have a writing schedule unfortunately. This Would Be Paradise Book 1 took almost three years to get were it is and the sequel (which drops in April 2016) took a year (I work full-time so this is more of a part-time endeavor).
I make notes on paper (my desk looks like the space of a crazy person), but I type up the manuscript on a laptop.
Thanks for the questions!
Unfortunately I don’t have a writing schedule, it’s more like labour of love. This book took almost three years to get where it is and book 2 took a year, so it’s whenever I find time to write (and the motivation :P) around a full-time job. And I prefer my laptop to write, but I have a ton of random notes with ideas all over my desk like a crazy person.
Thank you for asking!
Sounds like an interesting book! Thank you for the chance!
Happy to share. I was hooked by the blurb and that cover. Can’t resist it now:)
