2009 was... for me..."The Year of the Zombies".   This "Zombie" assignment came from the wonderful Richard Aquan, at Harper Collins.   The Book was titled "Queen Victoria, Demon Hunter"  She loved her country.   She hated Zombies... or so it says on the cover.     The painting is taken from Franz Xaver Winterhalter's portrait of the young Queen on the throne, with the exception of decapitated zombie heads and weaponry ( love that word ).      The book can be found at Amazon.com
