Summer of Zombie 2014 Teaser from Kirk Allmond
Enjoy this generous sample of Kirk Allmond’s book set in the What Zombies Fear ‘universe’!!
Chapter 1 Pinned Down
Victor took a minute to assess the situation. He and Max were pinned down in the back field behind Marshall’s farm. The party was destroyed, shambling zombies waded in packs between the overturned tables and chairs, stumbling and falling. Gunfire came from every direction; Marshall’s men were well trained and well outfitted.
“Fuck you, Charlie,” Victor thought to himself. The shamble...

Cover reveal: Doodeedoo by Tony and Sammy Gilbert
This is the tale of Doodeedoo
Who was made of socks and superglue
By a little mouse with tiny paws,
Red painted lips, and well-trimmed claws.
She’d read a book called Frankenstein
But never passed page 109,
And as she said, “I’ll have a go!”
The mouse picked up some thread to sew.
Now if you’d read old Frankie’s tale
It would make your face go rather pale
For in it he’s not nice at all,
He likes to hurt and fight and maul
As he was made of evil stuff,
Of bits of dirt and all things rough.
How was the littl...

Vampires Are So “Yesterday”
Today enjoy this teaser from the very talented and wonderful Leigh M. Lane…then go grab your copy!
In the world of paranormal horror, nearly everything you hear about these days is somehow zombie related. Being one who is up to date with the trends (*cough*), naturally, I found myself starting a new vampire series this last year. Back when I wrote my last vampire series,The Darkness and the Night, vampires were still all the rage; even still, the market was pretty flooded. Perhaps I should hav...

Memorial Day | Just in case you thought it was National BBQ Day
Originally posted on Motley News and Photos:
I must admit, in years past, especially in youth through young adult, Memorial Day was nothing more than a three-day weekend, barbeques, picnics and fun. And it still is… to an extent. For me, this year Memorial Day just feels different. I am opposed to war. Especially the one in Afghanistan right now. It seems as though we have lost the reason as to why our troops are there. How is our invasion presence helping protect America? Is that not what ou...
