Diary of a Teenage Zombie

"Dear Diary. Today I ate the Mailman. My Bad." Diary of a Teenage Zombie is a hilarious accounting of the life of Katie Palmer, seventeen year old flesh eater and athletics star. Pimples, boys, and malicious teens are the least of her concern. Avoiding a shotgun to the head? Now that's something to really worry about.

Being seventeen is hard―Katie Palmer has to deal with school, pimples, hormonal boys, and malicious cheerleaders. After the Zombie Apocalypse, though, she no longer sweats the usual teenage drama. Athletics star by day and flesh-eater by night, Katie’s done well to hide her transformation from friends and Zone-sanctioned security, but someone or something’s onto her secret, and if she doesn’t feed soon she’ll start falling apart. Dead bodies are piling up and all the evidence points to Katie's blood-stained hands. Will she kill the competition before security discovers she’s rotten underneath?

Born in Perth, Western Australia in 1982, Kristy Berridge was ushered into the world in a decade of bad hair, parachute pants, and blue eye shadow. Fortunately, she managed to avoid all three by immersing herself in the business of growing up, and hitched a ride with her fun-loving, and adventure-filled parents to the sunny state of Queensland. Here she completed most of her education. Besides learning that boys don’t have cooties, and that algebra wouldn’t kill her, she pointedly set the path of her high school career towards success in Art and English-based subjects, and won numerous awards for her efforts. After high school she went on to study Graphic Design and Illustration at James Cook University, furthered her studies at the local TAFE college with an Interior Design course, and then undertook a three-year Design course at Rhodec International in London. Clearly the girl just can’t sit still. Kristy now pens fanciful fiction novels in her spare time finding creative new ways to scare herself and others in the dead of night, promote girl-power with gritty action sequences, and of course, highlight teenage idiosyncrasies with hard-hitting hormonal moments of lust. She currently resides in Cairns, procrastinates constantly, now studies nutrition and tries desperately to avoid the delicious temptation that is the peanut butter aisle at the supermarket.
