Well, I am just WAY behind the eightball on this one. Most everyone else has come and gone with their “2011″ recap posts, but I’ve never been one to follow trends. Hell, I should put this post off until June and really confused everyone. Maybe not. At any rate, with the New Year just a [...]

Why Seattle/Pacific Northwest?
As I’m writing this, I’ve just put the finishing touches on a new proposal and sent it off to my literary agent. No, it’s not a Dave and Sarah book, but there are zombies in it. Also, it’s set in the Pacific Northwest (in a fictional town called Edgewater, Oregon) just like MARRIED WITH ZOMBIES [...]
My Top 5 Tips on Being Real
When you’re a writer, I guess you become sort of a public person. It always kind of surprises me when that fact hits me in the face like at a booksigning or conference or when I meet someone who is actually excited to meet me (beyond like my Mom or whatever). And with the internet [...]
Ask Me Anything
Thanks to the awesomeness of zombie fans, I get quite a bit of email/twitter @s/Facebook posts and lots of times I just can’t get to all of them in a timely fashion. So today I’m asking you… ask me anything. I will either answer today OR I’ll make an entire blog post out of the [...]
A Dave and Sarah Christmas
Somehow while I’ve been unpacking and adjusting and working on new books and basically settling into life in Arizona, the holiday season has come upon us.

Living Without Regret
Over the years I’ve learned something about myself. I regret what I don’t do more than what I do. Even if things don’t work out, at least I tried and lots of times supposed “failure” turns into a great lesson or opens the door to greater success. That’s how I ended up pursuing writing in [...]
What I’m working on now
Here’s a little sneak peek at what I’m currently working on, Club Monstrosity: “So what are we going to do?” Linda, another of the women in the circle whined as she scratched at her hands absently. “We’ve never done group without Bob.” “It’s not like we can’t. We’re all grown-ups…mostly.” Kai shrugged. “Let’s start with [...]
Home…ish
Today we’re back “home” in Illinois, though as you all know, this is home for only a limited time. I’m starting to get excited, though I admit I’m also a little overwhelmed. EAT SLAY LOVE is out right now (thanks to all of you who have bought the book so far) and IN THE DEAD: [...]
Zombies = Arizona?
There’s a pattern to my life. I get up, I write, I edit, I watch CourtTv (TruTV whatever they want to be called). I pet a cat. Or two. I’m pretty predictable. The same has seemed to ring true when it comes to my zombie books. The common thread? Arizona. Many of you may already [...]
