Love, Life and Zombies in Azalea Springs
Azalea Springs
Start Over in Azalea Springs
To those on the outside, Azalea Springs is a fortified mystery known as the Z-zone or Dead Town. For me, this is the only place I believe can give me a fresh start after my life got completely upended.
Twenty-two years of marriage, and it was all a lie.
I didn’t come to Azalea Springs looking for a handout or a fairy tale. I came to get away and find some peace. But gaining entry behind these massive concrete walls isn’t just about a background check and income sources. It comes down to a high-stakes Selection Day interview where I have to look the head of the team in the eye and prove I have what it takes to live in a town that only exists because of its zombies.
Behind the gates, life looks entirely different. The air is warmer and the streets are lined with vibrant blooms, but I’m quickly learning that peace and solitude come with their own costs. Security here requires mutual service, the rules are non-negotiable, and the old world is gone.
Start Over in Azalea Springs is my raw origin story as a forty-seven-year-old woman who refuses to be defined by the lie that’s shaped half her life. It’s the first real step away from the thin, fragile walls of my past and toward a future I choose for myself.
This is where the old world ends, and the real work of starting over begins.

Behind the Walls of Azalea Springs
A heartfelt and humorous romantic dramedy set in a town where the power is on, the gates are locked, and the zombies are just part of the local grid.
Twenty-two years of marriage. Two kids in college. And a husband who was never actually there.
When I discovered the truth, I didn’t just want a divorce; I needed a completely new life. That’s how I ended up in Azalea Springs, a walled-in town where the gates stay locked, the rules are absolute, and the local zombies are trapped in containment just to keep the electricity running. For a woman trying to rebuild herself from scratch, an isolated, fortress-like town is the perfect place to hide.
My secret career is writing about happily-ever-afters, even though my own life is currently a complete disaster. I’m just trying to find a reason to put on shoes, leave the house, and survive the day.
Then I met Mike.
He’s my landlord, my duplex neighbor, and a widower who knows a thing or two about rebuilding after a tragedy. Sharing a single front porch behind these massive concrete walls makes it impossible to stay strangers. He’s exactly the kind of man I used to write about—and the last thing I need while my heart is still in pieces.
In a town where every watt of power is strictly rationed and every breach in the fence could be fatal, the spark between us might be the most dangerous thing of all. Because the undead are safely locked away… but the man next door is about to tear down every wall I have left.
