Still Alive (Book 7): Zombie Perdition
Page 32
This group was more than just a flock, a gathering, a school; it was a murder. This winged grouping made up of almost every type of fowl that called the temperate climate home. They weren’t soaring above the ground together because they could all communicate any more than by pheromones. Something else drove them as one unit. Besides just the feather color of every single one of them, they had another thing in common... nagging need to spread the infection... and insatiable hunger.

Acknowledgments
Thanks to my dad, the only way I get any of this drivel out there for you to read.
Thanks to Shamus McGuigan and Amy Fry. for helping to make this book presentable at the end.
Without my beta readers, this book wouldn’t be anywhere near edited. Thanks to Marla Dewitt, Joanne Gillson, Bubba Kirvin, Marinda Grindstaff, Elliott Saunders, and Pam Seabolt, for proving that I’m barely literate.
Thanks to my fellow zompoc writers who keep me entertained... and that I steal ideas from... like Scott Baker, Peter Meredith, and Angel Ramon.
Before I just squee, I have to thank Joseph Talluto, the author of the foreword for this book. Never thought I’d be recognized by one of the greatest, the dude that wrote The White Flag of the Dead series!
Once again, thanks to Mo’s Crew. There’s advanced, and then there’s them.
Once again, props to you, the reader. By enjoying any of the books in my series, you’ve proven that you’re not very socially conscious.

About The Author
Javan Bonds is the author of the apocalyptic zombie series STILL ALIVE, and the bestselling Free State of Dodge. Bonds has had to overcome numerous obstacles in writing as well as just living his daily life. Diagnosed at the age of 11 with Friedreich’s Ataxia (FA), (a progressively degenerative neuromuscular disease under the umbrella of the Muscular Dystrophy Association), he has slowly been robbed of his physical abilities through the years. Bonds became wheelchair bound in 1999, but that was only the beginning of his setbacks. His sight began to diminish in 2010 and he is now legally blind. His hearing began failing to the point he now can’t distinguish individual voices in a noisy room. In spite of all of this, he continued to consume three to five audio books a week as well as work on his novels.
Bonds never lets his disability rule him; he has lived fully, loved, and laughed often. Reading and writing has long provided Bonds with both pleasure and a creative outlet. He began blogging at a very young age and has published articles and letters for his local newspaper. In 2010, he discovered a passion for writing novels and with help of Nuance’s Dragon Naturally Speaking, he writes every day.
In late 2015, at only 28 years old, Bonds was told he may have only a short time left due to the ravages of FA on his heart. Since learning this, his goal has been to complete a significant, lasting body of written work before his time in this world runs out.
In mid-2016, Bonds published his first full length novel: FREE STATE OF DODGE, the first in a dystopian series about an America in decline and its rebirth.
He is currently working on future books in his zompoc humor series, Still Alive. The series is currently has six books with many more in the works. Javan and his publishing team hope you enjoy his work and all of the upcoming books in the Still Alive series.
Javan has these words of wisdom to offer others stricken by a life-shortening illness:
”Live your life. Light your candle on both ends and let it burn. It may burn out faster, but your flame will burn brighter than some who live much longer”
Keep an eye on his flame, watch it burn!
You will find Javan on Facebook daily and he loves to connect with fans and new friends through Messenger or Skype. Look him up.
