Heh, don't diss the zombie apocalypse as a metaphor for the alienation inherent in our modern society
Anyway, the last zombie apocalypse novel series I read started with unethical medical research, and featured a presidental election with various shenenigans, as well as corruption and power grab in CDC.

Are you sure that's still true today? I'm not talking about earning huge amounts of money like Rowling, but making a bit extra, maybe not enough to quit your day job, but enough to help with bills and justify spending a lot of time on.
I'd assume most of those 304,912 or a million books you mentioned earned some money for the author.
