Meet Veronica Tallis
Next Chapter Books is proud to feature Edmonton author Veronica Tallis as our March Local Author of the Month!
Veronica Tallis is the author of Beyond the Dead, a gripping zombie-apocalypse dark romance that blends survival, heartbreak, and enduring love in a world forever changed.
Set in a ravaged post-apocalyptic landscape, Beyond the Dead follows Violet, a resilient paramedic fighting to survive after the collapse of civilization. Having lost friends, family, and the life she once knew, Violet finds strength in an unexpected place — the unbreakable bond she shares with her father, her steadfast companion in a world overrun by the undead.
When Violet is suddenly reunited with her long-lost love, Ryder, the two must navigate a dangerous new reality together. Facing relentless zombie hordes and the growing threat of ruthless human survivors, they embark on a journey where survival is never guaranteed — and love may be the only thing worth fighting for.
Through loss, resilience, and hope, Beyond the Dead explores what it truly means to remain human when humanity itself is on the brink.
Beyond her writing, Veronica is a vibrant part of Edmonton’s book community. Known for her bubbly personality and passion for readers, she is also the founder of Novel Night Events, an organization dedicated to hosting engaging bookish gatherings and literary experiences throughout the city.
