About the Author
I’m someone who aspires to be a prepper and has a fascination with all things pre-apocalyptic, apocalyptic, and post-apocalyptic. I find humor and romance in these topics, and they bring me immense joy.
Aside from my unwholesome fixation on home-canned food and Bug Out Bag gear, I enjoy reading, creating art, and having a good laugh. I grew up in Brooklyn, NY, but now reside in Oregon with my family.
In my opinion, we don’t have nearly enough resources to survive a zombie apocalypse, but I’m actively striving to improve our preparedness.

So Long, Lollipops is set in a world where a deadly virus has taken over and turned people into flesh-eating zombies. The book follows Cassie, a young woman who finds herself alone and struggling to survive in this new world.
She is eventually joined by a group of people, including a soldier named Peter, and they band together to try and find a safe place to live. Along the way, they encounter countless dangers and obstacles, including other survivors who are not as friendly as they seem.

It also touches on issues of power dynamics and the lengths people will go to in order to protect themselves and their loved ones.
However, one of the weaknesses of the book is its occasional lack of subtlety. At times, the themes and messages can come across as heavy-handed and obvious.
Additionally, some readers may find the violence and gore depicted in the book to be too graphic and unsettling.
