The award-winning middle-grade/YA novel Once Upon a Zombie is his fiction debut under his own name. When one of his children suggested he write a zombie book under his own name, Billy conceived the idea of merging the iconic fairy tale characters with the zombie phenomena. Zombie Cinderella and friends were born!
