Death of The Novella?
Reblogged from Armand Rosamilia: Two years ago I did my homework. I tried to find a unique niche I could put my stories into, and quickly found the big hole when it came to novellas. So, I ended the first Dying Days zombie book on a cliffhanger ending and stopped it at around 25,000 words. [...]

Two For the Price Of One – Alex Labourne Interviews Brett Battles and Robert Gregory Browne.
Sometimes, opportunity comes knocking, and following a recent interview I posted with the wonderful James Scott Bell, I was directed towards two writers who may have been interested in my interviewing services. As it happened, they were, and to top it off, they had just finished writing a book together, and so, in an instant [...]

Reblogged from TheOriginalVanGoghsEarAnthology: For your consideration as a way to show my gratitude to the founder of Van Gogh's Ear Anthology (the print versions Volumes 1-7) and pay respect to the late Allen Ginsberg, who influenced both, I felt it only fitting to post the link to the book that gives reader's a glimpse into [...]

Why Zombies?
As I am sure many people will know, I am currently writing a good old-fashioned serial. One release every two weeks. The topic of this series… Zombies. But why?

This question itself is nothing new, and the answers that people give will probably also be nothing new, but it is something that has been bouncing around my mind for some time now. Immortality… would you want it? Of course, the question is not as simple as it may initially sound, there are a great [...]

Proud to be Canadian – Alex Laybourne Interviews Tom Pitts
