Lisa Fedel is your average font fanatic English major who has a TBI (traumatic brain injury) and an interest in everything serial killer, conspiracy theory, and vegan. And she would definitely know what to do if the zombie apocalypse happened tomorrow.
A lover of both chaos and order, being an author felt like the right career move for her. She gets the ultimate control to do anything to the characters in her books, which can get as chaotic as she wants. Hence zombies.
