Description:
The
forces of darkness are out to destroy mankind… Too bad they never
reckoned on facing Maggie Child!
Army
chopper pilot Maggie Child has a reputation for being fearless,
professional and, above all, rational. But when she's shot down over
Iraq her well-ordered life spirals into a paranormal nightmare.
Alone, wounded and surrounded by hostile forces, Maggie is rescued
from certain death by a demon straight out of Dante's Inferno. Then,
barely alive, she's abducted by a private military corporation
conducting insidious medical experiments. Her escape from their
covert hellhole lands her on a Caribbean island where an evil voodoo
spirit and a psychotic female dictator are conspiring to unleash an
apocalyptic zombie plague. Then she uncovers the most terrifying
secret of all—her own destiny. It seems a Voodoo oracle has
ordained her the only warrior capable of saving humanity from a
supernatural Armageddon … whether she wants the job or not!
But
saving the world isn't a one-woman job, so she teams up with a trio
of unlikely heroes—a conspiracy obsessed marijuana smuggler, a
Voodoo priestess with an appetite for reality television, and a burnt
out ex-mercenary. Together, they'll take on an army of the walking
dead, with the fate of humanity resting in their eccentric hands.
Voodoo
Child, Book One: Zombie Uprising is the first novel in a new horror
series packed with supernatural thrills, rousing adventure, dark
humor, Voodoo lore and plenty of zombie stomping action. But a word
of warning; don't shoot these zombies in the head … because that
just makes them mad!
It's
the legions of hell versus Maggie Child … and hell doesn't have a
prayer!

About
the Author:
After
two years of ghostwriting, William Burke has released his first novel
VOODOO CHILD, Book One: Zombie Uprising. It's the first installment
of a new horror series chronicling the exploits of Maggie Child and
her Voodoo priestess partner Sarafina as they battle to save the
island of Fantomas from the wrath of evil Voodoo spirits.
The
author was raised on a diet of late night creature features, comic
books, Mad magazines and horror stories. As a result every volume
will be packed with eccentric characters, dark humor, chills,
zombies, ghosts, monsters, military hardware and plenty of stuff
blowing up.
Prior
to writing Voodoo Child he was the creator and director of the
Destination America television series Hauntings and Horrors. He has
also written scripts for two Cinemax television series, Forbidden
Science and Lingerie, which he also produced. He has also written
magazine pieces for Fangoria and the Phantom of the Movies Videoscope
among others.
William
began his film and television career as a perfectly respectable video
engineer at the venerable United Nations. Budget cuts shifted him to
becoming a production manager and assistant director on an array of
New York based indie films. With that experience under his belt he
relocated to Los Angeles where he eventually produced sixteen feature
films and two television series for the Playboy Entertainment Group.
After years of producing T&A extravaganzas, kickboxing epics and
gangster rap videos, he created a self financed television pilot
entitled American Mystery Tour. Canada's CTV picked up the series
under the title Creepy Canada, which was then re-titled Hauntings and
Horrors in the USA. Since then he has successfully produced three
series for HBO/Cinemax as well as documentaries and other … stuff.
After
hundreds of hours of film and television production he is basking in
the freedom of the written word, where small budgets and giant egos
are only memories. He lives in Toronto.
