Excerpt
The dead walk through town from east to west. They walk down the center of main street, indifferent to traffic, weather, noise, machine guns, napalm, sulfuric acid, swarms of killer bees, and anything else we've thought to try to use to stop them.
Damaged, they continue their implacable westward trek, limping on legs of raw bone, stringy arms dragging ragged torsos behind. Armless, legless, even headless -- whatever small part remains will continue twitching and squirming in a westward direction, as long as there is a part of the brain or spinal cord present.
Bio
Julie McGalliard is a second-generation geek and enjoys many typical geek pastimes, such as coffee, comic books, science fiction, and computer programming. At some point she has even gotten paid for making all of these things.
Her biggest love, after writing and her husband (not necessarily in that order) is travel, followed by a long list of other obsessions, from carnivorous plants to fountain pens.
She is a 2006 graduate of the Clarion West Writers Workshop.

Writing Description
Someday, when I publish a collection of short stories or possibly a novel, I want to see a quote on the cover where a more famous writer describes it as "H.P. Lovecraft meets Terry Pratchett."
I'm also fond of stories in which odd things happen for no particular reason.
Goals
My slogan this year is:
Write every day.
Even Sundays.
Even traveling.
Even if I don't feel well.
Setting overall word or story goals allows me to proctrastinate and then "binge."
Once again, I recommend that people donate in the extremely lucky amount of multiples of $13.
