A lot of time has passed since I posted something to the ol’
blog. Meanwhile, the world has been turning. Weird.
On the outside looking in, it seems like I haven’t been all
that productive. A lot of great things are happening over at Bizarro Pulp
Press, which I am proud to be part of. If you like your fiction a bit
“different” than “normal” stuff, go on over and see what we’ve got going on.
I've been hard at work on Saint Pain, the conclusion to the
Zombie Ascension trilogy. I can empathize with George R. R. Martin a little
(just a little); writing a series is difficult, on so many levels, especially
if you’re extremely committed to the characters and allow them a chance to
dictate where the story goes. Saint Pain is nearly 400 pages in length at this
point in draft form, not counting what has to be added, rewritten, deleted,
etc. To say it has been a labor of love would be selling it short.
Meanwhile, the covers for the first two books were updated
by Severed Press. Check them out!
On March 30th, Vampire Strippers from Saturn will be
published from Perpetual Motion Machine Publishing. The title should be sort of
a dead-giveaway; Saturn is a gas planet. Vampires couldn’t “come from” Saturn,
could they? The book is a romantic horror-satire with a bit of time travel
thrown in (okay, a lot of time travel). The cover art is by George C. Cotronis
A new poetry narrative will be coming out this year,
tentatively called Visions of a Tremulous Man. I have a couple other projects
that I’m shopping around, but these days, Bizarro Pulp Press, moving into a new
house, and getting ready for our third child has pretty much consumed my life
(and that of my family).
