Netherworld
Last night I went to the Netherworld Haunted House in Atlanta, which has the reputation of being the best haunted house in the United States. It totally lives up to the hype.
Sadly, I did not survive…

An Apocalypse of Our Own
The Kindle edition of my novella An Apocalypse of Our Own (previously available as a hardcover limited edition from DarkFuse) is now available!
It’s silly and gory, just the way you like ’em. (I apologize if that’s presumptuous.)

Can the friend zone survive the end of the world?
Missy and Kevin are friends. Just friends. They’d never actually date each other, because they’ve been friends since childhood and that would be weird.
Now it’s the apocalypse. People are leaking blood from their eyeballs and turning into homicidal oozing mutants. Fortunately, Kevin has access to an underground shelter, and he and Missy make it there in time to avoid a horrible gruesome death.
But they’re trapped down there.
Things are going to get weird.
Get it right HERE.

Lunch Ladies Book Club on CYCLOPS ROAD
I get a respectable amount of feedback on my books. Amazon reviews, fan mail, school visits, people Tweeting that they suck, etc. What I don’t often encounter is a really in-depth chapter-by-chapter discussion.
But that’s what the Lunch Ladies Book Club podcast is all about. They have deep-dive conversations that span multiple episodes. And, hey, episodes 17, 18, and 19 cover my novel Cyclops Road!
If you’ve read the book, follow along! If you haven’t read the book, read the book and then follow along! If you don’t want to read the book, just listen to the podcast. It serves, as they say, as a Cliff’s Notes version of the novel.
Episode 17 is HERE.
Episode 18 is HERE.
And Episode 19 is HERE.
B-Fest! B-There!
It’s almost time for the second annual B-Fest, where Barnes & Noble stores across the country allow unruly YA authors to take over for a couple of hours. On Saturday, September 23rd, I’ll be at the Barnes & Noble on 2952 Cobb Parkway, Atlanta GA, 30339 starting at 2:00 PM until…I dunno, 4:00, maybe?
I’ll be reading from Stranger Things Have Happened, doing a Q&A, and signing as many books as you’re willing to thrust in front of me.
Q: That sounds okay, I guess, but can you sweeten the deal?
A: Sure! Joining me will be Cat Scully, who will be talking about creating the maps for fantasy novels, including the bestseller Labyrinth Lost. She’ll even have maps available to sign!
