About the Book

I was the bravest, fiercest warrior, singlehandedly stopping the zombie apocalypse and earning the respect and admiration of those who fought with me. Just kidding. I pretty much peed my pants and wasted a ton of ammo. At least everyone else shot what they were aiming at. Me? Not so much. This is my story—me, Candace Marshall, the world’s biggest scaredy-cat, facing my biggest fear. Zombies. It was awesome. (As in, not at all.)

Candace Marshall hates zombie movies. She hates anything scary, in fact. In his usual way, her not-so-thoughtful boyfriend surprises her with advanced screening tickets to the latest zombie flick, complete with interactive features and a tour. For her birthday.

Horror becomes reality when an experiment gone wrong transforms her peaceful town into a mess of slathering zombies. Thrown together with the only other survivor, Gavin Bailey, her favorite actor and secret crush, she somehow fights her way out of the mess, making plenty of blunders and surprising herself with . . . courage?

But, just when Candace thinks it can’t get worse than zombies, it does.

Zombie Takeover by Michele Israel Harper releases from L2L2 Publishing July 12th, 2016. This humorous adventure follows Candace Marshall, world’s biggest scaredy-cat and klutz, as she tackles her greatest fear. Zombies.

Zombie Takeover’s Facebook Party will be Thursday, July 14th. More details soon.

Ending Fear by Deanna Fugett releases this fall.

Meet Fear. Thrown from the Gliding Lands as a baby, Fear has known only abuse. She experiences love for the first time when a Downer family takes her in and showers her with kindness. Then her little sister, Happy, is kidnapped and taken to the Gliding Lands to serve as a temple prostitute. Can Fear overcome her name, go to the place she fears above all, and rescue Happy in time?

We cannot wait to introduce this captivating story to you.

This winter, L2L2 will be publishing an anthology compiled by the Heartland Christian Writers. Acquisitions editor Michele Israel Harper was approached for this project, and she is excited to bring you this collection of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and prose.

We do not have exact dates at this time, but we also hope to bring you Drifting: Book Two of the Sinking Trilogy by Sarah Armstrong-Garner and Reconciliation: Book Two of the Reluctant Warrior Chronicles by Amy Brock McNew early 2017.

Sign up to receive updates on future releases and other author news. Ending Fear’s cover will be revealed soon!

In case you haven’t heard, L2L2 Publishing will be accepting submissions at Realm Makers this year.

What exactly is Realm Makers? We’re so glad you asked.

Realm Makers is a speculative Christian writers’ conference, geared toward writers who love the fantastical, the weird, and the out of this world.

To quote their website, their mission is:

To provide a faith-friendly symposium for writers and artists, focused on science fiction, fantasy, and all their sub-genres. Whether participating artists wish to gear their content for the inspirational or mainstream marketplace, they have a place at Realm Makers.

Realm Makers recently featured acquisitions editor Michele Israel Harper on their blog, Faith and Fantasy Alliance. Harper will be representing L2L2 Publishing at this event, and she expounds in this article on what to expect at your pitch session as well as what to bring.

Read the article here.

Will you be able to attend Realm Makers this year? Not sure?

Learn all about the conference here. There is truly nothing like it.

We look forward to meeting with you!

Happy Reading!
