About the author (2013)

Philip Nutman is a man of many hats (literally, he has a very cool hat collection). He is a multi-award-nominated novelist for the seminal apocalyptic zombie espionage police procedural novel, Wet Work. An internationally acclaimed journalist who has written over 2,000 articles, he was Fangoria magazine’s British Correspondent for over 10 years. He is an award-winning screenwriter and producer (Jack Ketchum’s The Girl Next Door). And he has written and edited over 70 comic books. In 2009, he also became a brand of coffee (we’re not kidding; Philip Nutman’s Wet Work “coffee that’s a shot to the head” is available from www.coffeeshopofhorrors.com). An English ex-patriate, Nutman has made Atlanta his home since 1993. For more about his work, go to www.philipnutman.com.
