Book Description
Influenced by Tolkien and many other notable authors, Riggs has been writing stories since age eleven. She has compiled in this book all her finished works from her first seven years of serious writing. Getting into heavy metal in her mid-teens, she began writing poetry in order to better understand herself and the world around her. Impossible love, bitterness, psychoanalysis, and attempts to understand life, the universe and everything; all these themes play parts in the poetry of a girl increasingly anxious to find peace. From tales of fantasy and friendship to the end of the world to the death of a loved one; the stories reflect the growth of a child who never quite fit in.

Book Description
""What I liked most about this novel, other than the zombies of course, is that the characters are very real, you really care about them, and this makes it much more real than any other zombie novel. And it is really cool to see resourceful children that take action, and not comic book kind of action, but the real genius action that kids are capable of. Sounds crazy, but this book, about zombies, will make you cry, and it will make you think. I can't think of a better combo. Great take on zombies, too! Very cool book."" - Internet review A zombie novel, finally, that shows a realistic, vivid representation of what a true zombie apocalypse might be like (i.e., it would not be a fun-fest of exploding heads and salty wisecracks). This is a novel that puts terror right back where it deserves to be...in your face.

Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
Pitus Peston is really on the spot. Returning to Earth to save it from corstet, an alien life prolonging plant, he gets captured by the army and is in a military base in the Nevada desert being debriefed on all of his advanced technology. When they are done, what will they do with a 235 year old man who has knowledge of extraterrestrials? They seem to have only two cruel choices. Will they keep him a permanent resident in some “Area 51” type place, forever cut off from the world, or just make him part of the Nevada landscape? On the other side of the galaxy, Peston's alien friends, Calnoon and Kinar, two of three alien exiles whose ship Pitus discovered in the Arizona desert in 1811, and Orban, a renowned Oman official and scholar, wonder what is keeping Pitus from returning to them. Pitus is also in the sites of the third exile, Rohab, now a high ranking agent of the FBI, who has been trying to finish off Peston for nearly two centuries. If this weren't enough, there is also a ruthless crazy alien of the enemy planet Haldan, who wants nothing so fervently than to kill Peston, and is willing to travel across the galaxy to do it. This feeling is mutual of course, and is about to get intensified by the actions of this Haldi, and so starts the story of PITUS PESTON AND THE VENDETTA.
