I Saw Zombies Eating Santa Claus

Have you performed the not-so-fun task of de-decorating the house?  Have you thrown away all the leftover Christmas food because you just can't face looking at it anymore?  If so, then I have found the perfect book for you!  It combines two of my favorite subjects---zombies and Christmas! S. G. Browne's I Saw Zombies Eating Santa Claus is the second "romantic, zombie, comedy" that the author has written.  This book does not have much romance, but it is another zany adventure in the (reanimated) life of Andy Warner, zombie extraordinaire.  The book opens with Andy and his fellow zombies escaping from a research facility in Portland, OR, where he has been subjected to experimental testing for the past year.  The zombies are treated like lab rats, and are forced to endure some pretty horrific things.  Andy escapes into a neighborhood and decides that "borrowing" the Santa Claus costume from a mannequin in someone's front yard is the perfect disguise to throw his captors off his track.  Andy's plan works until he stumbles upon a sweet, lonely, 9 year old girl who reminds him of his own daughter that he's lost, and who believes he is the real Santa.  When a group of rogue zombies recognizes Andy and adopts him as their mentor, Andy hatches a plan with his "zombie crew" to free the rest of his buddies from the research facility.  This is a zany holiday tale that will show you the true meaning of Christmas...zombie style!  If you want to follow Andy Warner's undead life from the beginning, read Breathers first. S. G. Browne lives in San Francisco and can be followed on Facebook and Twitter or visited at www.sgbrowne.com.
