The Walking Dead is Terminal or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Killing Characters

This will contain spoilers both of characters who have died or who are still alive, which in a show full of character death is a spoiler in and of itself.

First off, the death of a character is not about that character but about how that death affects others. Whether it motivates them to action, motivates them towards nihilistic inaction, or changes their world view, a character's death has to mean something.

Next Project

Now that Survival Tautology is out and available to buy, I have begun work on my next book tentatively titled The Immune. I don't really have a synopsis right now, but the setting is around a biological outbreak that wipes out 90% of the world's population. A small group of people try to make their way across America to find a future. Right now I am developing character profiles.

The only similarity this book has with Survival Tautology is that the human population has been decreased. Instead of a community that is stationary, this one will be small--I haven't decided on what size it will be. I played too much Final Fantasy 11 years ago that six always seems like the appropriate number of people for a group. Right now I only have ideas for four, so the number will probably be around 4-6.
