For the past two years, Jules has floated through life.
When the virus was released it changed everything about the world. Jules lost her mom and her home, forcing her to live with the father she barely knows. Now, even as society works to rebuild, Jules still feels like she doesn’t quite fit in.
Then she meets Roman.
Even before the zombies, he only had himself to depend on. Brooding and rebellious, Roman isn’t anyone Jules would have pictured herself with before the zombies came. But now she finds herself willing to give up everything to be with him.
The attraction is too strong for either one of them to ignore, but Roman and Jules soon discover that the uncertainty of their new world extends much farther than just the zombies. When disaster strikes, Roman must race against the most terrifying clock imaginable to save Jules, or once again end up alone.
When did you write Alone? Where did you get the idea for Alone?
This is one of the first books I wrote, all the way back in the spring of 2013, and I crazily got the idea for it from a dream my husband had. I can’t go into a lot of detail about it without giving away the ending of the story, so if you haven’t read the book yet and don’t want to spoilers, don’t read on.
I honestly can’t remember all the details, but I remember my husband waking up from a dream that was a zombie-like situation but was similar to the Claire Danes/Leonardo DiCaprio version of Romeo & Juliet. If you haven’t seen that, in the movie, Juliet wakes up just in time to watch Romeo drink the poison, and in my husband’s dream it was a zombie version of this scenario. Anyway, he told me the dream and I thought it sounded very cool, so I decided to go with it. It was kind of a leap since Warm Bodies was already out and it, too, is a zombie version of Romeo & Juliet, but my story was going to be different enough that I didn’t feel like anyone would accuse me of stealing the idea.
