Welcome to Refracted Light’s
After surviving a deadly plague outbreak, sixteen-year-old Savannah thought she had lived through the very worst of human history. There was no way to know that the miracle vaccine would put everyone at risk for a fate worse than un-death.
Now, two very different kinds of infected walk the Earth, intent on nothing but feeding and destroying what little remains of civilization. When the inoculated are bitten, infection means watching on in silent horror as self-control disappears and the idea of feasting on loved ones becomes increasingly hard to ignore.
Starving and forced to live inside of the abandoned high school, all Savannah wants is the chance to fight back. When a strange boy arrives with a plan to set everything right, she gets her chance. Meeting Cole changes everything. Mere survival will never be enough.
I have been in love with stories in all of their forms for as long as I can remember. Admittedly, sometimes that means falling into places like Stars Hollow and Sunnydale, but books have always been my true love. In early 2011 I began writing a book blog in order to share my favorite reads with book lovers. From there, the bookish community encouraged me to stop sitting on my own stories and share them instead. Since then I’ve been madly devouring everything I can about digital publishing, and my first novel, Mortality comes out in the Spring of 2013.
For the past two years I have been mainly obsessed with young adult books, but my favorite stories still come from the adult fantasy genre. As far as I’m concerned, Briggs, Bishop, Vincent and Vaughn are all must reads.
I spent part of my twenties living in Galway, Ireland and swooning after various lilting accents but am now back home in Ontario, Canada. My family includes two Glen of Imaal Terriers and a Green Cheek Conure.

What a great interview! I really enjoyed reading this.
I’m still undecided on if I want to read this one (I can only handle so many zombie stories), but it’s definitely on my radar.
sounds awesome
I can’t tell you my survival plan, because there isn’t room here for everyone… 😉
I love anything zombie, so this book sounds fantastic! Thanks for sharing and congrats to Kellie on the new release! Oh man… I don’t really have a zombie survival plan. But I’ve seen/read enough zombie stuff that I think I might actually survive a bit longer than most 😉
Just act like the zombies when your around them and try to blend in!
I just want to wish Savannah and Cole all the best. They seem to have adapted well from their previous lives, I hope they can keep it up. Kellie, thanks for making a copy of your book available for giveaway. We’re all looking forward to it.
I straight up have my shotguns for the zombie apocalypse.
Love this interview!
I might have a zombie prep kit…although it would be awesome to try out a crossbow!
A fun read! My survival plan is just pick up is to outwit the zombies and go where there is water.
Surviving a zombie apocalypse would be interesting… already a “prepper” so…..I think I’m a little ahead of the game (and I have a big barn I can lock them in)
I’m not sure but I would make sure to protect my kids at all cost
Seriously, if a zombie apocalypse happened I would be screwed. I don’t think I know anyone who’s a Daryl Dixon type person and I’m not at all a fast runner :/
My zombie survival plan involves finding someplace with food and supplies and try to keep all the zombies out.
My zombie plan would be to grab as much stuff i need and to have a machete ready!!
Great interview! I love Savannah’s realistic POV! LOL 😉
Haven’t read any zombie books yet. This one sound interesting especially since its my hometown. Thanks.
Have lots of weapons and supplies and hide out with my loved ones.
My survival plan is to stock up on food, weapons & my own personal army.
To head for the country bc there are less people there so there will less zombies! 😀
My zombie apocalypse survival plan it to get to an old abandoned military base/prison and survive. Or maybe one of those fancy mansions with super big security walls.
Can zombies swim or walk underwater? I would gather what I could and find an island that was liveable. Preferably one that had a walled compound and a well stocked pantry! The book sounds amazing and I will definitely read it. Thanks for the giveaway!!
My plan is to find someone who is capable of surviving and sticking to them like glue because there is no way I’d survive on my own. So I would just mooch my way to survival
I live in a college town so I would get to the highest point in town which is the gym and barricade myself in. There’s plenty of food to eat and many things in the gym that I can use as weapons. I’ve thought a lot about this…

Well, I would be one of the first people tie die if the zombie apocalypse went down, but that does not mean I wont do down fighting! We live in the south, so we have plenty of shotguns (deer hunting) and we have a plethora of useless objects lying around the house we can lob at the undead! I have a german shepherd, but I would have to keep him locked up so they would not eat my baby…. hmn. we dont have a lot of food stocked in the house, so we would have to venture out. there is a grocery store that is like a 3 minute drive from my house, so there is that. problem? we have a large trailer park on either side of of our property so the people might be more of a problem than the zombies when and if we start fighting over resources…. i’m going to stop now. thanks for the giveaway. (:
We are totally ready for the zombie apocalypse! We watch Walking Dead every Sunday for tips too!
