About Ian McClellan
Ian McClellan was born in a small harbor town in southwest Ireland. In an effort to be cliché his parents moved the family to New York when he was thirteen. Once a promising up-and-comer in the world of competitive eating, his career was cut short by an ACL injury. He now resides in Florida with his dogs and drives a truck for a living, but is crossing his fingers and hoping his writing career will earn him enough money that he can tell his boss where to stick it.

What is your latest zombie release?
One Undead Step
Quick description of it (no spoilers)
One Undead Step is set in 1969 and tells the tale of how the United States faked the moon landing in order to avert the zombie apocalypse. It brings together the lives of a disgraced B-movie director, a bar owner, some drunks, an Army Ranger unit, a bunch of gangsters, an affluent but very dysfunctional family, and a few cops; all of whom are in a fight for survival in an inescapable city.
Something unique about it.
I know this isn’t the first period piece in the zombie genre, but I’m pretty sure it’s the only one set in the 60’s. In a lot of books and movies, it seems like the characters have never heard the word zombie and haven’t the slightest idea of what they’re dealing with, which is a complaint I often hear voiced from fans. One Undead Step takes place one year after Night of the Living Dead is released, so the concept of zombies as we know them is still in its infancy. A few of the characters have an idea of what is happening, but aren’t really knowledgeable about the undead the way people will be in the eventual zombie apocalypse.
