The Zombie Letters (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781502784636)

Billie Dean Shoemate III was born August 20th, 1983 in San Diego, California. He comes from a long line of artists and musicians that have blown apart the Southern California music scene during the 80's and 90's. Moving to Corydon, Iowa when he was just 13, Billie began his writing and music career. Forming an old-school metal band called SALVAGED, Billie toured across Iowa, making a series of acclaimed albums. Around the time he was 14 years old, Billie began writing short stories and attending young writer's conferences. Never having a desire to publish initially, Billie spent the time to truly hone in his craft, hoping to one day frighten the masses with horror novels of the likes he grew up appreciating. Billie now resides in Paducah, Kentucky with his two children Xander and Annabelle. Now in his thirties, he has released over ten novels and is not slowing down. Still working with his long-time stable mates in SALVAGED, Billie writes horror full-time with a slew of frightening and dark tales that have gained him much acclaim. In the winter of 2010, he founded Asylum817 Productions and is now releasing novels under his own label. Now an advocate for local writers everywhere, Billie and Asylum817 Productions are committed to raise literacy awareness.
