Welcome!

Thank you for visiting. I have been a fan of the zombie genre for some time now, enough that I decided to try my hand at serious writing. My first series, White Flag of the Dead, chronicles the experiences of a man who is trying to survive a plague of the infected dead, and keep his son alive as well. It is a story of desperation, survival, and hope. It is a story that reminds us the most important thing is not just being alive, but living. Hope you enjoy.

Charlie's Guide

One of the things I've seen cause trouble is the lack of basic weapons maintenance.  You trust these tools with your life, why would you let them get filled up with crud that might cause you to lose your life?

One time, when out on a scouting mission, I came across a zombie kill.  The guy had been attacked by what looked to be five or six zombies, depending on how you read the tracks.  Anyway, his weapon was still there, and after I pried the fingers from the gun, I saw it was loaded with a full mag, but the insides were so gunked up that the gun up and jammed when he needed it most.

You don't have to do anything serious, just run a patch down the barrel and wipe out the insides if you don't have time for a field strip.  But at some point you will have to clean the thing, or it will fail you.

Charlie out.
