Zombie Apocalypse Now: a novel
Cliff Murray was four years old when his mother loaded her four children in the Plymouth Belvedere and took them all to the drive-in to see the original Night of the Living Dead. In college, Cliff and his friends rarely missed a chance to see Dawn of the Dead at the midnight movies, always laughing at the cheesy special effects, especially the exploding head and fluorescent blood. Still, he never expected to end up writing a zombie novel himself, until Zombie Apocalypse Now infected his brain.Cliff was born in Orange, Texas, in the southeast part of the state, and lived in the Dallas area for over 14 years. After graduating from law school, he went on to practice corporate law, working for two of the large firms with offices in downtown Dallas. At various other points in his life, he has worked as an industrial engineer, a boilermaker, a pipefitter, and a construction foreman.A bit late, Cliff discovered his writing interests tended more toward literary pursuits than merger agreements, so he has taken a sabbatical from his legal career to pursue writing. In addition to reading and writing, Cliff's interests include backpacking, photography, organic gardening, and anything to do with Yellowstone National Park. He lives in Bozeman, Montana with his girlfriend, Mari, and their little bitty dog.
