"THE ZOMBIE AXIOM" is on Sale NOW!

It's finally here! My novel, "The Zombie Axiom," (had to "bold" that, just had to) is on sale now on Amazon.com. You can grab it in either a paperback or digital format. I would check out both... there is something to be said for each version. Order yours now! Go here: Amazon.com get yourself a copy, and one for a friend, and one for... I don't know... a stranger? Check out the cover:

Here's a quick synopsis of the story:

In Northern New York State, three uncommon allies lead one of these bands in this epic struggle as they learn both the strengths and weaknesses of their enemies… and of themselves.
Pushed to their limits and holed up on a remote lake island, life has taken on a new normality. That is until the realization sets in that when winter arrives, all hell will freeze over. For it is then that the open waters of the lake, the only barrier against the unrelenting dead, will freeze. And the monsters will come. By the thousands…

Vault is OPEN for Kickstarter Campaign!

Alright, folks! The lid is off the vault! I've cracked open my stash of oil paintings that I've done for various card companies over the years and included them in my Kickstarter campaign! Check it out at: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2129071878/the-zombie-axiom-a-novel . One of the images is shown below. It's Truthtrance Inquest, a painting of a Bene Gesserit sister I did for the Dune CCG.

Kickstarter is UNDERWAY!

Here it is at last! 

Ok, folks... the Kickstarter campaign for "The Zombie Axiom" is now officially started!! Please take a look and contribute! Even if zombies aren't your thing, do it to help a friend! 

Here is the link: The Zombie Axiom Kickstarter! 

I'll be keeping you posted on how it is doing as we go! 

Facebook Page for my book, "The Zombie Axiom," is UP!

... and the Kickstarter campaign for the book is set to start tomorrow! Excited to see some action on this. I gotta tell ya. If you want to check out the Facebook page, click here: "The Zombie Axiom" Facebook Page Make sure to give it a LIKE while you're there! I'll post more info on the Kickstarter tomorrow. Stay tuned!

And So...

Back from New York, and and the process of self-publishing the book grinds on. Through my agent, I've located a copy/line editor who will give my book a read and let me know all of the mistakes I've made. 

Let there be none. Let there be none...

I've also been hashing out my Kickstarter campaign, because every good project (or even, "any" project) should have a Kickstarter campaign to usher in either wonderful success or hand-wringing failure.

So here is for success! 

Stay tuned to see how it goes. It may be ugly.
