After trying to wrangle my main vampire character for the last few days, he's finally behaving because he's he last of his kind. (that he knows of anyway) I'm feeling a little sorry for him, but that's what he gets for wanting power beyond imagination and eternal life, right? I hear Zombology II is closer to being done, so that means volume III is on the distant horizon. I shall do a proper review of volume I as soon as I finish reading the last couple stories. (if I could only add three or four more hours to each day I could accomplish everything!)

The story I'm currently working on, "Winds of the Enemy Ancestors," keeps taking a lot of strange twists. Now it looks like it wants to take another. I'll just go with it and do yet another rewrite...

I feel like Stretch Armstrong must have felt. My arms and legs can only go so far before they get ripped from their sockets and I scream in agony and blood might spurt out and...well, you get the idea. I'm close to finishing the vamp story and will send that off with a hearty "Good Luck" and a smack on its backside.

I just have to name this story "Dark Ride" because...well, just because my gut told me so. I finished it last night and today I shall be editing and writing a short bio. Not a fan of the bio, but they are a necessary evil.

Three stories published now--"Outbreak" will also appear in Zombology IV from Library of the Living Dead. I'm so excited I want to run squealing through the lower levels of this building...

Well, after getting to the pinnacle spot of my side show story, I think a better name than "The Forgettable" would be "Dark Ride." But we'll let my gut fight that out once it is finished. I wasn't able to read any stories from Zombology I last night because I was too busy making zombie-ish cupcakes. Tasty!

I got my copy of Zombology I and the stories are VERY good! I highly recommend reading "Rule Hard, Or Die Free" by Tel Williams. I shared my story with the family at Easter but didn't ask anyone what they thought--it is just weird doing that. (for me anyway) My niece, the amazing artist, drew a very awesome zombie picture for me. I suggested she look into getting her work used for these anthologies and mags and I hope she has some awesome luck. I signed my first autograph (in slime-green marker, no less) and the men-folk played Left 4 Dead. Zombies on Easter? There's a joke in there, albeit not a very PC one...

Those that know me, know I can be a loudmouthed little so-and-so, but why is it that when in comes to marketing, I'm a shy little pipsqueak? I should be screaming BUY ZOMBOLOGY, but I feel so...inexperienced in the whole publishing world that I might use the wrong terms. Ah well. Here's an attempt anyway. Not only is Zombology available at CreateSpace and Amazon.com , you can purchase a copy from Target.com ! If you love/like/loathe zombies, you should really get a copy. Stimulate the economy!

My character is just about to get her fortune read. I remember going to a "Turn of the Century" fair and pestering my mom to let me get my palm read, but she nixed it. I'm jealous of my gal Jane. Zombology I is available on Amazon now too--tell your friends!!!

Library of the Living Dead Press has released the first volume of Zombology which means volumes III and IV can't be far off... I ordered my copy today---you should too!

That is the title of my almost done short story for the Vampology. I only have 1000 words left to play with so I need to wrap it up quick and get the revisions done. Although, are they ever really done?

That's what I'm suffering from right now. Hectic work day + loads of sugar + loads of caffeine = Bouncing Brains. Anywho, I'm nearly done with the short story for Library of Horror Press and then need to get cracking on the one for Side Show 2 , but see the above paragraph... *sigh*
