I (heart) Dinosaur Comics
Oct 06
All directions point to NORTH. Zombocalypse Now got a shout-out at Dinosaur Comics today! It’s the webcomic I was reading when I had the initial flash of inspiration to write a choose your own adventure book, so I sent creator Ryan North a copy and he really liked it! He also claims to have survived on his first and third tries, which means he is either REALLY GOOD at zombie-based decision...
Into the blogosphere

Zombocalypse Now has it’s first two reviews! The first is at a butterfly-adorned book review blog called Unmainstream Mom Reads, written by somebody named Mo who appears to be a friend of a friend (of a friend?) At any rate, she got a kick out of the book, and survived on her seventh try (which is statistically actually pretty good). Check out the review here (you have to scroll 15 or 20...
Last chance to get autographed copies online

Unfortunately, this means that I...

PAX roundup
Sep 15
Just realized I never posted my post-PAX event report last week, so I figured I’d get it up so nobody thought I caught the swine flu and died or anything. The good news is that both Dawn Marie and I avoided that particular plague (no doubt because the ZN promotional cards we were constantly passing out acted as a barrier between us and any poor geeks who were unknowingly infected). It was...
In stock at Amazon, too
Sep 10
As of today, Zombocalypse Now is listed as IN STOCK at amazon.com, meaning that, unless you want your copy signed, feel free to order it from them instead (after all is said and done, my per-book profit is about the same either way). If you combine it with another purchase for a total of $25, you can get free shipping, too! It’s also ideal for international orders. Okay, I’m off to...
