Just someone who got hit with the writing bug when I was a child and now has the opportunity to expand on the stories rolling around in my head and written in notebooks from years gone by.

Most of the work I have done is based on something such as a book I have read or a movie, that personally I felt could have been done better. My current submissions are the result of watching one of my favorite film genres, George Romero’s zombie films. His movies are some of the best out there, he is by far the grandfather of that style of filmwork.  My stories pale in comparison to his work but are still fun to write.

UP FROM THE DEPTHS Authors note; to get a better picture of the world this story takes place in, it’s recommended to view the remake of Dawn of the Dead 2004. The montage that takes place at the first part of the film was used to generate this story. The Ohio Class submarine displaces about 30-32 feet when submerged and stands about 40ft tall not counting the ‘sail’ or antennas. By removing the missile tubes and changing the designation to ‘726’ it identifies the vessel as a Special Operatio...

Spinning to face that direction, he slowed his pace, allowing the hummer and its walking entourage to increase distance from him. As he passed the alley, he saw movement at the far end, then several lurching shadows blocked out what little light bled into it from adjoining buildings. He slowed his pace even more as the entrance moved behind him, reaching up with his left hand to key the mike on his shoulder. “Dunmire, Wilson, pick up the pace a little. Valdez, slow down, Axtell, swing that ....

“I’m going to find Dunmire. Keep everyone together. Go.” The hummer accelerated a little, the people hanging onto the sides to get the idea of how fast they needed to jog. Hathaway watched the dim red lights get smaller before he turned to look back at the alley. He could make out more shadows now on the street. Shit. He jogged at an angle across the street to the side that Dunmire had been on, carefully staying on the street but close to the curb, using the curb and sidewalk as a makeshift g...

Hundreds of miles away in a secure, underground facility known only as Site 18, a meeting was taking place. Major General Thaddeus Augustus Lee Royd late of the US Air Force was discussing matters with his executive officer. “So the Unbelievers are attempting to re-form the country.” He said unquestionably, his face red and sweaty, his massive girth barely contained in the strange uniform of his own design. Had he not been weeks away from retirement when IT happened, he would have faced two c...

You write a good story with a nice pace. The characters are very believable and the reader can easily relate to them. Some minor issues, nothing major to take care of. ‘the men were aloud to smoke in training.’ This should be ‘allowed’ not ‘aloud’. One gives permission, the other is a form of speaking. Example, he said the words aloud whereas the children were allowed to go outside. Crowler you’ll be Sniper Team Leader, (should this read as SOTIC instead of sniper? Marines have Scout/Sniper S...
Well written with an even tempo. The character development is excellent with back story and believable. Good use of descriptors in and out of the action. Some minor spelling issues, 'in rout' would be 'enroute' or 'in route'. This issue is all together very minor but I just wanted to bring it to your attention so that it can be corrected prior to submission to a publisher. This is great story and reads very well.
Nice even tempo with the story and good interpretation of emotions with each character. Very believable characters and settings. There are some very minor changes to consider to make the story flow more evenly. “Disobeyed! I am under no obligation to listen around to you.” Might sound better if it was ‘I am under no obligation to listen to you’. Or use the contraction 'I'm' to make the speech sound more spontaneous. Most people don't speak so formally and given that this scene is one of previ...
Action Adventure / Don't have One: Chapter one
Good development, even tempo with the flow of the story, interesting to the reader to follow along as the story unfolds and try to figure out what is happening. Nice lead in for the next chapter. There are however some little issues to resolve. He began to rube his body with a washcloth I believe you meant to say ‘rub'. She was so kind and careing towards him ‘caring’ simple spell check no big issue So has to not hurt Becca, should read as ‘so as not to hurt Becca’ The rest had unfinished art...
