Rock Zombie is published!

Finally, after months of me annoying people with semi-cryptic posts, snippets of random nonsense, and bizarre TikTok videos, my silly, gross, over-the-top, comedy horror – Rock Zombie – has shuffled off the mortal coil and invaded your shelves/Kindles. But as with all things Finlayson, it hasn’t been a smooth journey. You may notice – toContinue reading "Rock Zombie is published!"

Why I chose to self-publish Rock Zombie

TLDR; no-one else would, so I did it myself. TLDR2.0; my wife told me to. Rock Zombie has quite an interesting past. Once upon a time, it was scheduled to be published before The Book and the Blade (my debut), but due to a variety of reasons, it never quite worked out.

Rockefeller Copyright Laws!

Rock Zombie is an unkempt zombie graveyard of pop culture references and nods to ’90s culture. They are bursting through the pages like reanimated hands clawing towards the sky, but much like a teenager in a classic zombie horror, I have to be very careful where I tread. Copyright laws are slathering ghouls just waitingContinue reading "Rockefeller Copyright Laws!"

I Made a Mistake – a statement on A.I.

I made a mistake. When I designed the original cover for Reindeer Games 2 I had an idea that I wanted it to look like the poster for Die Hard.
