There are new monsters on the prowl, ghosts to haunt them, and even a hurricane on the horizon...++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Ghost Dog Trivia: At 85,000 words, this is the longest Zombie Dog book to date. It is almost twice as long as Cadaver Dog. Taking almost two years to write, it is also the longest time I spent on a Zombie Dog book.The book cover reflects the book cover of Zombie Dog to show that these books are essentially a Part 1 and Part 2.The fictional Dodson County is named for Sarah Dodson, who created the first "Lone Star" flag. This flag is sometimes also called the "Tri-Colored" flag. Hence, the name of the main creek passing through Dodson County, Tri-Colored Creek.The strange story of the Justice of the Peace of Dodson County is actually inspired by a real-life Justice of the Peace who was elected JP of his county out of high school. Salsipuedes is a common town name of Central America and Mexico. Roughly, it translates as "Get out if you can" or "Leave if you can."Although not mentioned by name, the book details The Battle of Moses Bayou, which was first referenced in the short story, Winter Dog. Chronologically, Winter Dog follows Ghost Dog.The hurricane track of Hurricane Shane closely follows that of Hurricane Harvey, which hit Houston in September 2017. The massive flooding and other complications was an influence on Ghost Dog.Hurricane Shane and Hurricane Roberta are references to the popular zombie apocalypse comic, The Walking Dead. I am a fan

Training a dog to track a zombie is like training a cadaver dog or a bomb dog. It takes patience, trust, and the right dog-and-handler team. And to not be afraid of zombies. When Angie Graves is approached with the idea of training a dog to track zombies, she thinks this is a bad idea. She has worked all kinds of dogs, including cadaver. But she needs a different dog for this line of work, and the only one available is a rescue named Murder. The problem is, Murder is nothing like a hero dog. He is scarred emotionally and physically. He is slow to trust, has a mischievous mind, and obsesses over his chicken toy. But if he and Angie can learn to work together, they may be able to solve the riddle of where the zombies come from, and why they are snatching up people.

Dominion has been taken from man. Now, six friends must cross an apocalyptic wasteland dominated by a hell's menagerie of mega-fauna. Their middle-class suburban skills are no longer applicable to the world they live in. To find a safe haven in this world they will need to develop a new set of survival skills and fight the mutated denizens of the animal kingdom for every step of their terrifying journey.

My name is Oak Jones. I spent ten years in the Houston Police Department, three years working beats, and seven glorious years in the Police Dinosaur Unit (PDU). I was one of those kids who loved dinosaurs growing up, and the idea of being paid to work with one sounded like the best job anyone could have, ever. Now that I'm retired from HPD, I wanted to collect some of my war stories. Everybody asks me what it's like working with a police Velociraptor. Let me be blunt: being a dinosaur handler is the most fun and rewarding job you can have in the world. The pay is horrible, and the trials and tribulations are tremendous, but I wouldn't have chosen anything else.So these memoirs are for everyone who's ever wanted to know what it's like being a Velociraptor handler. These are some of my favorite stories from that time. What surprised me more than anything was the amazing bond I made with my Velociraptor, Banshee. It was a relationship unlike any other in my life, and one that I will hold dear for all the rest of my years.You probably know that the word "dinosaur" is Latin for "terrible lizard." I thought that would make a great title for this book because while Banshee was a great working police Velociraptor, he was a terrible lizard...

After the fall, the real fight begins. For life, for home, for freedom. Rylan Scott was a petroleum engineer with a young family. He had a successful wife and two curious boys. But then Kaiju Goliad made landfall near his Clear Lake home. The beast rampaged through the area before it was finally killed, his gargantuan body falling in Rylan's neighborhood. The problems should have ended with the kaiju's death, but they were just beginning. This is the story of what happens to a city after the kaiju is killed. What happens to the body? Where does the skeleton go? How do you piece back your life after such a cataclysmic event? And then there is the problem of another kaiju in the Gulf. This one is a kui kaiju, a scavenger, and it is headed to Houston...

You have to be there for your dog. On any search, your dog is the only one who didn't volunteer for this work.Murder has always been there for Angie. He stood loyally by her side in the Colorado wildfires, and he led her to safety in Big Bend National Park. But now they are hunting zombies in the city, joining the City of Houston Zombie Task Force. Their mission is to discover the source of weaponized zombies and prevent gangs from using them. Working with police detectives and curanderos, Angie and Murder work their way through Houston's criminal underworld, but at what price? Angie must remember, Murder is her responsibility, and he is her loyal friend. Can she protect him as well as he has protected her?+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-Of the first three books, this one is the "squirmiest." The first chapter, in particular, ends viscerally. Just a note to the reader.-Disaster City is a real place. While the training scene that takes place there is different from training that normally occurs there, I have trained in Disaster City with my cadaver dog.-I learned about the form of brujo's curse used in the book during research I was doing into curanderismo.-The large underground system exists in Houston. You can take tours.

I have spent much of my life in the out-of-doors following in the autumn footsteps of my father, his father and those generations that came before them. This work is a collection of my hunting memories and is an attempt to pass on my family traditions along with my beliefs, philosophies, observations and personal experiences afield to my children, grandchildren and generation to come as well. It is my hope they too find the joy, peace and meaning afield that I have tried to pass on to them through this endeavor. --Doug
