Bad, Bad Author...
Deepest apologies, reader. I have certainly been MIA recently. Work has been crazy. Most of my time recently has been spent fixing outlines, polishing the manuscript for The Zeros and The Man Who Could Not Die and hammering away at the still untitled Vol. 2.
Anyway, in the deepest throes of editing and polishing, I added a joke that some may appreciate. It takes a special kind, and maybe you're that sort:
All right, back to work. Keep your ears to the ground,...

Vol. 2 Keeps on Rollin'
So while the as yet Untitled second volume of The Zeros continues (I keep losing my writerman momentum, and currently I'm only about one hundred pages or so in, not too shabby considering what my schedule's been like), we prepare for Vol 1: The Zeros and The Man Who Could Not Die, coming very soon from Penny Dreadful Publications.
Keep on checking back, as we are surely going to make some announcements soon enough. In the meantime, here's another fun picture to mull over in the time lead...

What Lies Ahead...
Good Afternoon, dear reader!
Apologies for the long absence, things have been busy here working towards what comes next. We've gotten some great responses from readers on Two Zeros and The Library of Doom! and I am excited to get The Zeros and The Man Who Could Not Die out there into the world. Below is a hint as to what the new tale may include (and it's also a nice nod to Marvel's MOON KNIGHT, seeing as this is a panel from a 1985 issue). Moon Knight is cool, myth...

Good Job, B&N!
All right, for you NOOK readers (like myself, I must confess), Gil & the Gang are now available from Barnes & Noble for the stunning price of $0. Nice job Smashwords for getting that in the backdoor fer REAL LOW CHEAP.
Take a peek here if you still haven't read the novella and you prefer your bookstores having four walls and a door...
And to B&N, as John McClane would say:
"Welcome to the party, pal!"

And the Beat Goes On...
All right, I'm getting a lot of great feedback about Two Zeros and The Library of Doom! from all kinds of people, and while I'm still working on spreading word–to say nothing of the currently limited distribution–I can't forget about how this whole mad journey got started: our heroes first full-length novel, The Zeros and The Man Who Could Not Die. Lest we forget, Library of Doom! was just a short prelude, after all.

iTunes Store.... And More to Come!

Boy oh boy, the novella is now on ITUNES (for free!). Gil & Co. are quite the big deal these days.
Unfortunately, Barnes & Noble and the other online retailers are not as efficient when it comes to getting these things up and running online. When we go live on B&N, like Smashwords the book will also be free. Hopefully, I'll be able to use the free B&N listing to get Amazon down to $0.00. Ah, the power of price matching.
Alas, one thing at a time. Right...
