It’s folks like you that have given me confidence in this field and for that I am eternally thankful.Ĭraig: What’s the last book in the genre that you particularly enjoyed? Konrath, he proved that it can be done and it can be done successfully and also you Craig you’ve shown that small to medium presses can give authors a credible platform to launch their books from. Then I look to those that I consider pioneers in this indie movement J.A. Another author that got me to love science fiction is John Christopher and The White Mountains series. Stephen King was my first foray into horror and I will always be indebted to him for that.

Mark: This blog isn’t big enough for me to list all the authors that I admire or have been influenced by. Zombies are everywhere, there is no safe haven, fighting zombies is a continual test for survival, and I enjoy that frenetic pace that this entails while writing.Ĭraig: Which writers do you particularly admire, and what did each teach you about the craft or profession of writing? Vampires, werewolves and insert monster here are scary in their own right but they are usually only relegated to towns cut off from the rest of society for whatever reason. Of all the fictional monsters one could encounter this ranks as one of the worst, mostly because of the wide scale apocalyptic destruction they wreak. Mark: I think that zombies strike a chord deep in the human psyche. Mark: My name is Mark Tufo and I’m mostly known for my ZOMBIE FALLOUT series but I’m also trying my hand at some sci-fi and paranormal fiction.Ĭraig: What makes zombies so interesting to write about? As a huge fan of your work it is an honor to be asked to be on your blog!Ĭraig: Tell us about yourself and your work.

Mark: First off I wanted to say thank you. His ZOMBIE FALLOUT series reads like ZOMBIELAND in print–a great zombie story while at the same time being very funny.

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Mark Tufo, a leading voice in a new generation of authors who have found huge success in self publishing.
