Blurb:
Imagine waking up to find the world has
ended, but unfortunately you're not alone...
For Connor Innis, awakening from a year-long coma with no memories, no ability to move, and unable to speak was bad enough. Then he learns that a bioweapon set off a zombie apocalypse—for real—while he was sleeping, and the world he can't even remember no longer exists.
Rehabilitation might be torture, but far worse awaits him outside. All too soon, the hospital Mentor declares him fit to leave but with nothing to go home to except a city full of mindless, flesh-eating monsters. That is, until he forms a strange relationship with the one he nicknames 'Zombie Girl'.

Excerpts:
He woke
to sensations of warmth and heaviness. The relentless thump, thump of a
heartbeat and the rushing sound of someone breathing unsteadily. It took time to
recognize the heartbeat as his own, to connect the breathing to air moving in
and out of his own chest. How long had he been asleep?
He
didn't remember going to bed. He couldn't open his eyes. Confusion muddled his
thoughts. Wait. Why can’t I move?
Panic
set his pulse racing, but a weight held him down. He choked on something
pressing at the back of his throat. Nothing responded as he struggled to move. Damn, am I paralyzed? Trapped under
something?
"Please
try to remain calm. You are perfectly safe."
Remain calm? What the fuck does this moron expect?
"Please
try to calm yourself."
He
couldn't place a gender to the voice, and the flat unemotional tone meant it
was probably synthetic. What were they called? Mentors. That was it. An
artificial entity called a Mentor. The knowledge seeped into his awareness like
blood oozing through a shallow cut.
His
struggles weren't getting him anywhere except a quick trip to a heart attack.
He forced himself to take slow breaths, to steady himself. Not because the
voice said so, but because there was nothing else he could do. He swallowed,
painfully aware of the pressure of a tube in his nose and down his throat. He
tried to talk, and heard a weird gurgle instead of words.
"Please
relax. Do not attempt to move or speak at this time. Once you are calm, I will explain
your situation fully."

Bio:
After spending twelve years working as an
Analytical Chemist in a Metals and Minerals laboratory, Pippa Jay is now a
stay-at-home mum who writes scifi and the supernatural. Somewhere along the way
a touch of romance crept into her work and refused to leave. In between
torturing her plethora of characters, she spends the odd free moment playing
guitar very badly, punishing herself with freestyle street dance, and studying
the Dark Side of the Force. Although happily settled in the historical town of
Colchester in the UK with her husband of 21 years and three little monsters,
she continues to roam the rest of the Universe in her head.
Pippa Jay is a
dedicated member of the Science Fiction
Romance Brigade, blogging at Spacefreighters
Lounge, Adventures in
Scifi, and Romancing the

subgenres from scifi to the paranormal, often with romance, and she’s one of
eight authors included in a science fiction romance anthology—Tales from the SFR Brigade. She’s also a double SFR Galaxy
Award winner, been a finalist in the Heart of Denver RWA Aspen Gold Contest (3rd place), the EPIC eBook awards, and the
GCC RWA Silken Sands Star Awards (2nd place).
