I remember hearing about the book and then I tracked it down right after it came out. I devoured “Breathers” in about 2 days..no pun intended.

Thanks to everyone who submitted an entry for the contest. Your comments were all kind and flattering and sometimes made me blush with humility. If the rewards of writing a novel can be measured in the words of my readers, then I would have to say I’m the richest man in town.

Although I wish I could give a book to everyone who responded, alas I have but the one copy up for grabs. And as I mentioned, making a decision based on your comments was impossible. So after a very scientific method of writing names on pieces of paper and drawing them out of a Peter Grimm fedora, I came up with a winner…

Congratulations to David Fooden! You’re the proud new parent of a signed copy of BREATHERS!

For the other thirty-three people who entered (sorry to those who didn’t, but I have to keep this somewhat simple), if you’d like a Zombies Are People, Too sticker, just mail me a self-addressed stamped envelope and I’ll be happy to send one to you. You can contact me for my mailing address at scott@sgbrowne.com.

Thanks again to everyone!

I read Breathers within the first month of publication, after seeing an ad for it on a website. I can not wait for another novel my Mr. Browne. If you haven’t read Breathers and laughed your decomposing behind off, you just wouldn’t understand.

Dear Mr. Browne-

I can not fully express my feelings upon finishing your novel. All I could think upon finishing was, “Finally!!! A story told from OUR point of view.” Andy embodies the thoughts and struggles of us all…..but if you’ve never felt like an outcast from society because your internal organs are on the outside of your body, you wouldn’t understand.

Your novel is going in my “Zombie top five” along with the Romero films, the Walking Dead comic series and my Marvel Zombie action figures! You are absolutely right…so much of the popular media’s outlook on us is exploitative (*ahem*Zombieland…I’m talking to you.).

Breathers have no idea what it’s like to be us…to struggle to make a living. I’m actually fortunate to be employed by a zombie public school. It’s fairly new so we’re working on a few things. We are allowed internet access, but the school lunch leaves a bit to be be desired (with the exception of “mystery meat” Tuesday).

Anyway, thank you for your inspiration. I’m not sure if I can figure out how, but I want to include a picture of myself and one of my homeroom students. Anyway, keep fighting the good fight!

Breathers is a great title for a book about zombies.

It’s derogatory, right? Like with homosexuals and ‘breeder’s.

That’s, like, allegory right there.

I read a lot, but I haven’t enjoyed a book as much as Breathers in years. I’m sharing it with all my breather friends, hoping to make them aware that zombies have feelings too. I also hope I get it back. If not I’d like to win this one. I don’t know any zombies personally yet but now I would certainly view them in a different light, hopefully in a social setting (with lots of other people).
