Interview with David Kazzie of THE IMMUNE

Hi all…happy belated 2015! I’ll be doing a 2014 summary post shortly and realize I’m a little late with it, but if you follow me on Twitter, you know my website was recently hacked and it took some serious doing to get it back. Make sure to sign up (on the righthand side of the blog) for my newsletter if you haven’t already, because in a few weeks I’m giving away an advanced copy of my sequel to BURN OUT courtesy of my publisher!

I thought I’d start off the year with an interview from a funny and fabulous author–David Kazzie. If you don’t know David, he is the creator of the hilarious So You Want to Write a Novel video (and others) which can be seen here. He also writes novels—his newest, which looks amazing, is called THE IMMUNE.

Here is a blurb:

This is the way the world ends.

On a warm summer night at Yankee Stadium, a terrifying plot to bring humanity to the brink of extinction is set into motion.

And as the deadly Medusa virus sweeps the globe unchecked, three people – an obstetrician dealing with the death of an expectant mother, a football star past his prime, and a soldier harboring a terrible secret about her own future – struggle to save what they hold most dear in a world crumbling around them.

Amazingly cool concept, right? I had some questions for David and he was kind enough to answer my questions, so enjoy the interview and then go check out his book!

1. The concept of The Immune is fascinating, especially given the recent panic about ebola. Where did you get the idea for the story?

I’ve loved stories about the apocalypse for as long as I can remember, and I had always wanted to write my own. I wanted to make it as realistic as possible, and I always thought that a pandemic was the most likely suspect if something like that were to ever happen. And I think deep down, we’ve all wondered if we would have what it takes to survive in a world like that.
