It's alive! (again)

I'll get to the Lazarus story in a moment. But first, since so many people asked about the Weenie Thingee, I wanted to give applaude and credit to the creator. The thing itself is actually called a Zort. Talented artists Max Gyllenhaal creates all sort of them, in the form he calls Clothespin Puppet Noteholders. He has lots of different ones available.

Centuries ago, I had a paperback series called "Accidental Monsters." The series was inspired by the idea that it would be fun to write stories from the perspective of the monsters. Sadly, the series went out of print. Happily, Tor/Starscape is bringing it back to life. The four original books, along with two new ones, will be released throughout 2013. Here's the original cover of the first book:



Those of you who own calendars might have noticed that with Attack of the Vampire Weenies coming out in May of 2011, and the Accidental Monsters coming in 2013, there's a gap for 2012. I'm happy to say that the gap (that dark gaping gap) will be filled. I prefer not to announce books until I have a contract in hand, but let's just say I've been writing a whole bunch of stories, and there are things out there even more fun to mock than vampires.

There is even more news pending. Cool news.
