About the Author

Falling in love with puppetry and movie monster magic at a young age has made Keith Carpenter become a true zombie aficionado over the years. This 40ish Creative Director and Audio Director for Animation loves the cute and cuddly but he also has a hankering to delve in the darker side sometimes. Born in a small town in Texas the highlight of his week used to be going down to the local cinema and catching the latest Romero Zombie films. Keith's love for all things ZOMBIE caused him and his close friend Matt Ficner to decide to write a movie screen play that took the zombie genre in a new direction. What you have in your hands, the Zombie Circus novel, is where the love for the genre has taken him so far.
