Book Description

Publication Date: November 22, 2012
When the world falls apart, what will be important in your life? Will you give up and die, or will you fight against all odds to protect what is most valuable to you? In this series, we follow the viewpoints of two characters who could not be more violently different: Alan Hawthorne, CFO of a Fortune 500 company in Los Angeles, and Alexis Jackson, Veterinarian for a small Texas town as they both struggle through the beginning of the zombie apocalypse. As fate brings these two together, they struggle through the reality of loss, the terror of the undead, and the failing humanity of the remaining survivors. The chaos of the city outbreak and the quiet unknown of the country wilderness bring different perspectives to these unlikely heroes, and they cling to the hope that humanity can prevail over a great darkness. As the sun sets on life as they knew it, these two opposites must find common ground to push back the hordes of zombies, stave off the depravity of a lawless wasteland, gather the shattered remnants of their former lives and carve a place for themselves in this dead new world.

From the Back Cover:

It seems like everyone has a plan for the zombie apocalypse. Chances are, if you're reading this, you probably already have one. But what about the people who don't? The 11:11 series follows two characters, Alan Hawthorne and Alexis Jackson, as they are caught completely off guard by a world where the dead don't stay dead. As far as being prepared for the end of the world, they could not be farther from ideal. As a Fortune 500 CFO and a Mid-Texas Veteranarian, they haven't even had time to so much as watch a zombie movie, let alone make a survival plan. They suffer through the panic of this in a realistic portrayal of events from both of their drastically different points of view, each fighting to stay alive on opposite ends of the social spectrum. As they move to find each other they battle through the loss of all of their friends, families, jobs, and homes. In their escape, they fight to stay alive while evading not only the dead, but the frantic attempts of the government to contain the virus and establish order. Between hungry walking corpses and fearful armed men of authority, they are beset on all sides by death and destruction. They struggle as escape plan after escape plan fails and the dead close in. You say you are prepared for the end, but are you really?

Behind the Cover: The Human Condition

Here's some photos from behind the scenes at The Human Condition photo shoot! Thanks to the Ada Landfill for letting us shoot there!

Here's the link to the full album on Tessa's Facebook page. The Human Condition Album

Also, thank you to Brian Wilke, Bryan Reed, and Logan Spencer for being in the cover. Yes, you may have noticed that there are four people on the cover. One of the zombies is one of the books authors, Josef House! The more you know...




     Here's the final cover for the paperback book!


               And here's the final cut for the E-book!

The House Walking Dead Wedding

House Zombie Wedding!

     If you click on the link above, you will be taken to Tessa House's facebook album for Josef and Tessa's Walking Dead Themed Wedding!

     Both of the writers have been married before, their marriage to each other being the second marriage for both of them. Since they had already done the white wedding version, they decided that they wanted it to be fun, and also wanted to find a way to incorporate the guests instead of them just showing up and then going home without interacting with the wedding party much or the bride and groom. They decided that, if their wedding party were zombie apocalypse survivors, they could interact with their guests by having them dress up as zombies, and the wedding photos would include a zombie attach by the guests themselves. They wedding was a success, and everyone who attended had loads of fun. If you would like to see the full album, once again, click the link at the very top. The photos below are a few of Tessa and Josef's favorite pics from the wedding.















Behind the Cover: A Dead New World

Hey Everyone! I thought it would be pretty cool to do a Behind the Cover! Here is the photo shoot for book one. The photos where taken at the Ada Airport, in Oklahoma, so a big thank you to them for letting us shoot there! And also thank you to the pilot who ended up on the cover along with his aircraft!

As you can see below, we weren't really sure what we wanted on the cover of A Dead New World, we only know that we somehow wanted to incorporate the airport. After finishing a couple different versions, we finally went with the last one on this page.


















This is the final cover for the E-Book!
