First Lady Down

Former First Lady Helena Barrett needs a vacation. 

It’s been over two years since her husband’s death and Helena jumps at the chance to spend a few days at a lovely inn nestled in the French countryside. At first she is captivated by the scenery and charmed by the locals, but this long-awaited vacation goes downhill fast.  

The other guests are annoying, the fainting goats are distracting, and the resident cat is a menace. And the zombies…they were definitely not in the brochure. 

Armed with her signature dry wit and a cast iron frying pan, Helena must hold the line against the infected. Despite her best intentions, she has become attached to this quirky cast of characters and will do her best to ensure they all survive. 

Perfect for readers who believe that the world needs more stories with kickass women over forty who save the day with competence, community, and weaponized sarcasm. First Lady Down is a found-family tale of the apocalypse with bite, heart, and a body count.
