Honestly, I just felt like those particular characters came to me. I just wanted to tell the story of people of different shapes and sizes coming together to fight against the zombie horde!! Thanks SO much for reading. <3

Ahh! Thanks so much for reading and for asking this. I'm really hopeful that I'll get to do something like this at some point. I've pitched a few things to my publisher. I've always really wanted to do something where the remaining crew tracks down escaped zombies. Wish me luck :)

I'm really hopeful that I'll be able to write one in the future!! I'd love to see the kids rescue some zombies and destroy those Metabolize-A bars!! And I think there's room for cool surprises.

I don't personally spend a lot of time thinking about other book titles or titles in general. While working, I give the book a title I like and sometimes that sticks but sometimes it does not.
It's pretty common for titles to get changed on the publisher's side for marketing or any number of other reasons. My personal experience is that publishers seem to come up with the majority of titles. For instance, DAY ZERO was originally called 2020 (which was the year my near-future fictional universe broke from actual history) when I was working on it but the publisher didn't care for that. They felt it would be hard to search for online and that it was confusing conceptually.
So since the publisher has a team that specializes in these matters, I try not to worry too much about things.

I do a couple of things. First, very often reading is a huge help in overcoming writer's block. I think it's important to read widely and sometime seeing a writer do something really well on the page can stimulate my imagination.
If that doesn't work, I find it helps to take a short break and work on another kind of project. Personally, I love to knit and especially enjoying making hats and socks.

I run on coffee and cake pops!
