About T. D. Ricketts

T.D. Ricketts is a resident of the Mighty Mitten aka Michigan.

Married for 35 years and his wife deserves a medal for putting up with him.

Two beautiful daughters, a pair of grandsons and a grand dog round out the crew wandering in and out of his house.

A self confessed short story junkie with several books in the works.

Most recently a foray into kids books with illustrator Vea Lewis.

They have made a great book. Motorcycles that go Zoom and Vroom!

Look soon for a compilation of his short stories.

Retirement figures somewhere in his future and then look out the books will fly.

16 Authors go head to head in story battles to see who will be crowned champion of The Reanimated Rumble.
The Reanimated Writers is a group of indie zombie fiction authors on Facebook. The Reanimated Rumble was a competion that was posted weekly within The Reanimated Writers Zombie Fiction Fan Group, and the fans got to vote for the story they liked best. The twist? No one knew who wrote the stories until the votes were counted. This kind of blind competition allowed new authors to go head to head with seasoned vets without the fear of a fan base coming in to move that author along. Only the stories mattered.

This is the competition match by match and even includes some bonus stories.
