Yep. Nice art work though.
Hmmm… So instead of a trip around Cape Horn, we are a dozen or so miles from Long Island. Bit of a difference there.
For the trip to Easter Island I was going to recommend something like this [At least you have sails when you run out of fuel](http://www.nordhavn.com/models/56/) They make them bigger, and more robust. Called a motorsailer.

Hey there, thanks for the suggestions, have decided to move the group to Block Island and also thanks for the compliment re the cover I design covers for a living am a graphic artist so it helped a lot to do my own cover 🙂

Are you planning another set of humans for Volume III ?

I am truly hoping for more “dogs” on the Island, it wouldn’t be fun without them 😉 and yes more human’s in Volume III 🙂

**mumof4** - are you the author of another series of books? If not, curious why you wrote the Zombie Dogs using a pen name, and then advertised it as such?

Can I take a rain-check on being included in Vol. II … getting introduced in Vol III sounds much healthier. You’re going to have a cure by then I should hope. Something about your seafaring Cap’t asking what the hell a compass is kinda has me nervous.

Block Island is boring. Have them go to [Ascension Island](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascension_Island).

If you really want to “get away from it all” (especially zombies) I would suggest [Inaccessible Island.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inaccessible_Island)

No I don’t hold any other titles, I chose to advertise my name then show my pen-name, so that family and friends would know they had the right me. I didn’t continue using my real name because there is a ton of books associated with my real name. So I changed my first name only 🙂 hope this helps with your questions.

Rain check (Tick) - Approved (Tick) Done Deal (Tick)
Don’t forget to leave me a review when your finished, that’d be highly appreciated 🙂 I hope my book is entertaining you. 🙂
