Book Description:
The forces of
darkness are out to destroy mankind… Too bad they never reckoned on facing
Maggie Child!
Army chopper pilot Maggie Child has
a reputation for being fearless, professional and, above all, rational. But
when she's shot down over Iraq her well-ordered life spirals into a paranormal
nightmare. Alone, wounded and surrounded by hostile forces, Maggie is rescued
from certain death by a demon straight out of Dante's Inferno. Then, barely
alive, she's abducted by a private military corporation conducting insidious
medical experiments. Her escape from their covert hellhole lands her on a
Caribbean island where an evil voodoo spirit and a psychotic female dictator
are conspiring to unleash an apocalyptic zombie plague. Then she uncovers the
most terrifying secret of all—her own destiny. It seems a Voodoo oracle has
ordained her the only warrior capable of saving humanity from a supernatural
Armageddon … whether she wants the job or not!
But saving the world isn't a
one-woman job, so she teams up with a trio of unlikely heroes—a conspiracy
obsessed marijuana smuggler, a Voodoo priestess with an appetite for reality
television, and a burnt out ex-mercenary. Together, they'll take on an army of
the walking dead, with the fate of humanity resting in their eccentric hands.
Voodoo Child, Book One: Zombie
Uprising is the first novel in a new horror series packed with supernatural
thrills, rousing adventure, dark humor, Voodoo lore and plenty of zombie
stomping action. But a word of warning; don't shoot these zombies in the head …
because that just makes them mad!
It's the legions
of hell versus Maggie Child … and hell doesn't have a prayer!

Voodoo Child, Book One: Zombie Uprising by
William Burke is a fast-paced horror novel with quirky characters…Reviewed by Kim Anisi for Readers' Favorite
About the Author:
After two years of ghostwriting,
William Burke has released his first novel VOODOO CHILD, Book One: Zombie
Uprising. It's the first installment of a new horror series chronicling the
exploits of Maggie Child and her Voodoo priestess partner Sarafina as they
battle to save the island of Fantomas from the wrath of evil Voodoo spirits.
The author was raised on a diet of
late night creature features, comic books, Mad magazines and horror stories. As
a result every volume will be packed with eccentric characters, dark humor,
chills, zombies, ghosts, monsters, military hardware and plenty of stuff
blowing up.
Prior to writing Voodoo Child he
was the creator and director of the Destination America television series
Hauntings and Horrors. He has also written scripts for two Cinemax television
series, Forbidden Science and Lingerie, which he also produced. He has also
written magazine pieces for Fangoria and the Phantom of the Movies Videoscope
among others.
William began his film and
television career as a perfectly respectable video engineer at the venerable
United Nations. Budget cuts shifted him to becoming a production manager and
assistant director on an array of New York based indie films. With that
experience under his belt he relocated to Los Angeles where he eventually
produced sixteen feature films and two television series for the Playboy
Entertainment Group. After years of producing T&A extravaganzas, kickboxing
epics and gangster rap videos, he created a self financed television pilot
entitled American Mystery Tour. Canada's CTV picked up the series under the
title Creepy Canada, which was then re-titled Hauntings and Horrors in the
USA. Since then he has successfully produced
three series for HBO/Cinemax as well as documentaries and other … stuff.
After hundreds of hours of film and
television production he is basking in the freedom of the written word, where
small budgets and giant egos are only memories. He lives in Toronto.
