FATZ
A uniquely Australian zombie apocalypse
Jim’s the sort of guy who’d likely die young then be devoured by his domestic short-haired cats. With nothing going for him, a dead-end IT job and a family whop mysteriously disappeared, he is barely holding it together. His hopes of a life worth living fizzled around the time he last saw his toes over his huge belly. Now the imminent demise of the world ushers in a feeling of liberation and relief for Jim. Humanity loses all hope for the future and for once, Jim fits right in!
Despite all the odds, Jim becomes the world’s first and last anti-running, anti-prepping survivor.

FATZ2
A uniquely Australian zombie apocalypse
In FATZ2 a man loses some weight, a girl’s leg hair hairs grow long, a beagle sniffs a butt. And, most horrifyingly of all, Jim runs out of curry!
The great curry shortage brings dynamic trio Jim, Bob and Doug out of retirement and they say goodbye to Jim Island and head home to Australia in a most unlikely form of transport. Cue the dramatic yet slightly hopeful music score as they encounter survivors and begin to wonder if the human race will indeed survive. Even DFoug jumps onboard the positivity train, and goes through rehab with some help from his friends
Extremely Handsome Author
Dean John Thomas
Rev Dean Thomas was born in Ryde Sydney and is most likely Australia’s fastest fat man.
Dean is a very passionate man who has experienced many strange things. For example he passionately hates sand and salt water, but strangely has saved two people from drowning while at the beach. And he lives in a coastal town.
His taste in food is simple – the hotter the better! He loves to cook curry and burn the tonsils off anyone who is brave enough to join him.
By trade Dean is a cabinetmaker, apple mac technician, ordained Baptist minister and all round super handsome guy who does like to exaggerate somewhat, especially in his writing.
Living in Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, he enjoys the comfort of sitting indoors where there is no sand or salt water with the air-conditioning set at a chilly 18 degrees, while watching the motogp or world superbikes or anything else that goes vroom vroom.
Dean’s favourite hobbies include riding old motorcycles as fast as possible to sample the delights of bakeries all over Australia. Wherever he has travelled he has been on the look out for zombie hordes and has become an expert in recognising any suitable zombie fortress… just in case it is ever needed.
I was like ‘Whaaat???’ at first and at second but in the end I definitely liked the difference.
And I definitely enjoyed the Aussie humor and flavor overall.

Quirky, funny zombie tale. Hope to see more from this author. If you liked “Zombieland” – the movie, you’ll love this

I could definitely see this being adapted into an Australian-made film and it becoming a cult Aussie classic. Jim is a literally me character.
