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 [...]

“Shambling With the Stars” is out today!!
I’m so excited because today is… RELEASE DAY! “Shambling With the Stars”, a short story based in the same world and outbreak as the “Living With the Dead” series, is about Avery, a TV producer who puts together telethons after disasters.

It’s Release Day! And YOU can win.
Holy Hannah! It’s here! It’s finally here! I can hardly believe it that after all these months and all the great pre-press from Orbit and reviews from you that MARRIED WITH ZOMBIES is officially on the shelves. I hope if you go looking for it that you’ll ask for it if it’s not on the [...]
