Survive Doomsday
Kill Zombies
Save the Girl
Max leads a happy life in the Adirondack Mountains. He loves his job as county sheriff, he loves his wife, and he couldn’t ask for anything more.
Then Max is diagnosed with cancer, given six months to live, and a cataclysm turns ninety percent of the world’s population into zombies.
As if his day couldn’t get any worse, Max soon discovers that his wife has been turned into a zombie along with the rest of the town. To save her soul, he does what any loving husband would do—he handcuffs her, throws her in the back of his Bronco, and sets out to find a cure.
When he comes across his deputy Stefan, his day gets a little brighter. Together they determine that most of the people in town have been infected, and it’s up to them to gather the survivors.
As Max and Stefan wade through the bloodbath and delve deeper into the mystery of the sudden outbreak, they unearth a secret that could save humanity.
Doomsday Sheriff will leave you guessing, and you will probably be wrong.
Disclaimer: Contains gratuitous violence, blood, broken bones, more blood, decapitations, severed limbs, flying gore, exploding heads, and many of the other slippery pleasantries you expect from the Zombie/Horror genre. Do not read if you have an allergy to awesome.

Praise for the Vistaria Has Fallen series:
Am looking forward to seeing what happens in future installments.
I look forward to reading more of this series in the future. I want to know what happens now.
Another brilliant series begins.
Cooper-Posey has packed in love, action, mystery, and intrigue, all in this novel. I can’t wait to read the next installment!
Other brilliant read from Tracy that captivates you from the very beginning as we look at the potential of a rebel uprising in a fictitious Latin American country.
Passion, action, horror, tragedy and adventure are all beautifully and masterfully woven by Tracy to provide maximum reading entertainment.
The characters are fantastic and the story line, well let's just say it is very new and fresh. Lots of intrigue, excitement, mystery, and, of course, some romance as well.
Truthfully I cannot wait for the next book in the series to find out what is happening in Vistaria.
