The Saga of Trio de Dio

Zombies...everyone loves zombies - except Trio de Dio. Two military veterans, one a Highland Gordon and the other an Acadian from New Orleans, along with an American business student who hates his life and dreams of being a writer, are trying to survive a heat wave in Tucson, Arizona, when they discover that dreams really do come true.

After a night of binge-watching zombie movies, the trio get woke - by an apocalypse. Unlike most zombie fans, Desré, Granville and Blake, "Trio de Dio," don't want to stick around for the end of the world. They have someplace else they need to be - a reservation in South Carolina called the "the Fish-Camp," where Desré's relatives live. First, they need to stop in New Orleans and rescue Desré's brother Frank, a blues guitarist. All along the corridor of I-10 East, they are thwarted and distracted by the border patrol, hapless citizens, dizzy hippies, a steampunk band with flaming bagpipes, Coachella fanatics, zoo animals, Civil War reenactments, and a mysterious gentleman with a top hat and a shovel.

Dodging supernatural entities and not-so-natural disasters at every stop, the Trio leave chapters of their saga at every misfortunate junction for "lost Lenores" to find, inviting them to rendezvous at the Fish Camp.

This is not your ordinary zombie apocalypse and Trio de Dio are not your ordinary heroes. The Mojo Rising series invites readers and fans to come along for the ride as future contributors to the ongoing saga under a full publishing agreement as part of Bothsams Publishing's commitment to fostering independent creative collaboration.
