At 85,000 words, this is the longest Zombie Dog book to date. It is almost twice as long as Cadaver Dog. Taking almost two years to write, it is also the longest time I spent on a Zombie Dog book.

The fictional Dodson County is named for Sarah Dodson, who created the first “Lone Star” flag. This flag is sometimes also called the “Tri-Colored” flag. Hence, the name of the main creek passing through Dodson County, Tri-Colored Creek.

The strange story of the Justice of the Peace of Dodson County is actually inspired by a real-life Justice of the Peace who was elected JP of his county out of high school.

Salsipuedes is a common town name of Central America and Mexico. Roughly, it translates as “Get out if you can” or “Leave if you can.”

Although not mentioned by name, the book details The Battle of Moses Bayou, which was first referenced in the short story, Winter Dog. Chronologically, Winter Dog follows Ghost Dog.

The hurricane track of Hurricane Shane closely follows that of Hurricane Harvey, which hit Houston in September 2017. The massive flooding and other complications was an influence on Ghost Dog.
