On Tour. Be Back Next Week (with proof)

In 12 hours, The Paranormal Bender Tour rolls out of Washington and into a town near you (assuming you live in one of the 6 cities we’re visiting). So I’ve been packing (swag, prizes, toiletries and such) printing up little maps, setting up Mario’s bed (which my parents delivered, and I think I’m going to keep because…

1. It’s in my office, and…

2. Naps

So, I know what you’re thinking, what does it all mean Mark? What it means is, since I have a computer that took it upon itself to eschew wifi, I

Shambling Towards Ecstacy

Scrambling is more like it, but you’ve gotta have a punchy title (ask Ms. McLachlan) and I’m doubtful there’ll be ecstacy, though Sunday is date night. Hmm. Anyways, I’m trying to get ready for the tour and tonight’s signing at the Barnes and Noble Southcenter (5:00 to whenever we give up the ghost–and I’ve got that little fucker in a ball jar so I can hang on to him pretty good–in case you’re worried).

This afternoon, I’m working on Battle of the Network Zombies some more (got to get up to 300

Roasty!

I’m getting my ass handed to me over at The Book Roast.  There’ll be prizes and I kinda promised I knew the most rowdy bunch of internet folks, who’d really bend me over.  So head on over and don’t prove me wrong.

Talk trash and win shit?  That’s a win-win.

Slab Fab

It’s finally here. The climax to the round robin story between Dakota and my characters. If you missed any of the previous segments, scroll down here or check out Dakota’s blog.  This whole thing leads into a contest on her site tomorrow, where among other lovely items, you can get your hands on the very last Road Trip of the Living Dead advance readers copy (ARC), oh yeah.  I’ll even sign the son of a bitch, so if I get caught up in a political sex scandal, or cut off my own ear on national tel

A Decision and an Interview/Review Round Up

So, after much deliberation and way more correspondence than even the Zombie Stimulus Package produced, I’ve decided to go with…



I definitely didn’t want the picture to look serious or authorly and I needed a hint of devious. Thanks everyone who voted. There was a pretty even divide between this one and #3 wtih the double chin and the hunched shoulders, but not a single vote for hangover pic #2. Sometimes I just don’t get you people.

Anyways. I’ve been the subject of some pretty cool intervi

Halp!

So Caroline took a few glamour shots of me on Friday night, because this newspaper in Vegas needed a high-res shot. Now, truth be known, I hate pictures of myself. Feel free to take them, but know that I never think I look good in a shot, so often, I’ll intentionally make a weird face or whatever. So that’s what I did in these shots. But I need your help, which one would you send in? I may even replace that bullshit that’s in the back of the books. Actually, I definitely will.

Your choices.

The Devil Wears Buffalo Sauce

Well, a little late getting this one up, but here it is.  The fifth part in the round robin story between my Mandy and Dakota Cassidy’s Nina, with a little Gil and Marty thrown in for back up.  If you’ve missed any of the previous entries, make sure to start with Fashion Forewarned, then America’s Next Chopped Model, Zombie Eye for the Dead Guy and What Not to Scare.

“Great.”  I kicked the model’s massive platform shoes; they sprouted from her ankles like shiny black hooves. “This is just f

Zombie Eye for the Dead Guy

This is part 3 of the round robin story between Dakota Cassidy’s Accidental Friends characters and my Amanda and Gil, if you haven’t read the other two, you better pick up Fashion Forewarned (pt. 1) and America’s Next Chopped Model (pt.2).

“Can I see that, Nina?” I stepped up onto the catwalk–no small feat in skyscraping Louboutin’s but I am a pro*–and approached the snarling beauty.  When she made no attempt to hand me the note, I added, “The piece of paper.”  I said

Fashion Forewarned

So starts an experiment of sorts, a round-robin story between myself (c/o the cantankerous Amanda Feral) and author Dakota Cassidy that bridges the week between the release of Road Trip of the Living Dead and The Accidental Human.  Though she’s not mentioned by name in the opening, I think you’ll be able to pinpoint Nina Blackman.  Have fun!

What? What. What!

Hey y’all! Some fun stuff is going on today. First and foremost, my sophomore child is heading out to shelves today. That’s right, it’s Road Trip of the Living Dead’s birthday!!!

So in honor of the event, several things are happening.

[image error]1. I’m having a launch party over at Bitten By Books with a wholly inappropriate scavenger hunt (three heats) and prizes!

2. There’ll be a totally impromptu origianal Amanda Feral/Nina Blackman (of Dakota Cassidy’s Accidentally Dead) round robin story that’ll start
