Former First Lady Helena Barrett could use a vacation.
Since her husband's death, Helena has been happy to serve her country. That comes to an abrupt end after she calls the current administration's policies idiotic during a televised climate conference in Paris.
Oops.
Finally ready to chart her own life as a free woman, Helena jumps at the opportunity to spend a few days at a lovely inn nestled in the French countryside. She is charmed by the locals, captivated by the scenery, and tolerant of the other guests.
The humans are annoying, the fainting goats are distracting, and the resident cat is a menace. The zombies...well, they're downright terrifying.
Armed with her signature dry wit and a cast iron frying pan, Helena must hold the line against the infected. Despite her best intentions, she has become attached to this quirky cast of characters and will do her best to ensure they all survive.
After dealing with politicians for nearly thirty years, what are a few zombies?
Perfect for readers who believe that the world needs more stories with kickass women over forty who save the day with competence, community, and weaponized sarcasm. First Lady Down is a found-family tale of the apocalypse with bite, heart, and a body count.
