I’ve recently finished going through the (very) rough first draft of my novel, Rabidand am ready to get some feedback. Please note: this is by no means a polished product. If you’re still interested, here’s the premise (TW for a virus in these uncertain times):

Set in modern-day Australia after a weaponised retrovirus has wiped out 95% off the population, and left the rest as feral, animalistic zombies known as rabids, Rabidis the story of two girls travelling across this barren, hellish landscape with only the vaguest hopes of survival spurring them on.

In a world of danger and uncertainty, only one thing is clear: when you get bitten by a rabid, you turn. This takes minutes at most, and is the one law that has shaped what remains of the country. The only problem? Heather was bitten three months ago.

She still hasn’t turned.

Searching for answers leads her to Casey, a doctor hiding out in a rural hospital, waiting for a rescue that’s never going to come. Together they form an unlikely alliance, and embark on a journey that will take them across the outback in search of a cure. Travelling from safe zone to safe zone, they encounter raiders, cultists, mad scientists, the military, and rabids.

Lots and lots of rabids.

If you’re interested, shoot me a message for more details! If you’re not interested, a share could really help get the word out to those who are <3
