Okay, so I am a bit in love with Seanan McGuire/Mira Grant, and I'm quite sure the Other Half will understand. She's crazy talented, writes books that are engaging and awesome, and has some sort of masterful, magickal, hyper-productivity level that means she has either given up on sleep entirely or has discovered the secret to freezing time so she can work on twenty projects simultaneously (at a minimum). I've kindle-purchased everything of hers that is in print, and have entered the stage where I must preorder anything she does, because I know I will want it immediately upon release.
Her most recent release -- Deadline, the sequel to Feed. It's an awesome zombie trilogy, and I recently contracted something akin to the plague, and I had the good fortune to have Deadline come out two days into my abject misery so at least while I suffered in my first solid illness in a decade, I had a great read to keep my mind off the fact I thought I was dying/wished I would. ;)
And now, she's got an amusing trailer out for Deadline -- you can find it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUXWlXK985U&feature=youtu.be and I totally recommend you run over and watch it, and then run out and by the books (start with Feed obviously, but by them both at once, so you've got them handy. That way, you'll be eco-friendly and save some gas, and you'll avoid the wailing and gnashing of teeth that would inevitably occur should you finish at midnight when the bookstores are all closed and are kicking yourself for not buying both at once). While you're at it, look her up under McGuire and get all the October Daye books too. You won't regret it. Seriously.
Er -- why are you still here reading this? Didn't I just send you to the bookstore.?
