News: Book's Cover Model Becomes Family Member

I am pleased to share the news that my lovely cover model for The Amish vs. the Zombies (she's portraying the Amish protagonist Hannah Strovel, not the zombie), who's real name is Anna, married my nephew, Benjamin Murray.

A bit ironic, because, two years ago (at the age of 17), when she posed for the photos (and filmed the book's trailer) we had no idea she would become family. Pretty cool!

Anna (as Hannah) can be seen at the left.

In the book Hannah is reluctant to marry and goes on an adventure to discover who she is only to bring trouble to her community.

The real wedding was wonderful and almost was 'Amish' as it was held at a farm in rural Clark County. The reception was in an indoor horse arena. The happy couple, Anna and Ben, are shown at the right.

Congratulations Ben and Anna (BenAnna)!

Hear the author read from the book at the Cannon Beach Library's Zombie Fest, Halloween between 1 and 3 p.m.
