Welcome to the second installment of our series, "The Summer of Austen", where a lifetime of fighting for zombies is more tolerable than marriage to Mr. Collins. Molly and Rebecca also fight zombies of their own in the form of a potent cocktail. This was the film chosen by our audience in the Spotify Mobile Poll. Thanks to everyone who participated! We look forward to doing more polls like these in the future.
Be sure to follow us on social media and come back next month as our "The Summer of Austen" series ends and we bring out the spooky lady stuff!

About the Hosts
Molly is an American author who resides near the ocean in picturesque Cornwall with her hunky British husband, bubbly daughter, and their moody Jack Russell, Milo. She knew she wanted to be an author from the day she first read A Wrinkle in Time when she was a child, and she grew up inspired by authors such as J. R. R. Tolkien, Philip Pullman, Garth Nix, and Dennis Lehane (the ultimate master of plot twists). It has always been her dream to become a published author, and it is her hope to expand into multiple genres of fiction.

Rebecca is an American author who resides in the bucolic hills of West Virginia in the heart of Appalachia with her rugged husband, two hilarious daughters, and a small congress of animals. As you can see, she's fond of pretty words and has been since preschool. This is also probably why she wanted to be an author after reading Catherine Called Birdy when she was ten. This was the book that taught her how to say cuss words in a creative manner. Rebecca has two published short stories in the science-fiction and urban fantasy genres and plans to write full-length projects in the near future. She one day hopes to be able to add "multi-genre author" to her list of career titles.
