Just wanted to remind everyone about the raffle for a free copy of my zombie vampire novel, Roses of Blood on Barbwire Vines. To enter, subscribe to the mailing list. We’ve decided to hold the raffle before the book is available for pre-order (probably in early April). So if you’ve been meaning to enter, sign up now--you don't have much time!

After the raffle, we will start another contest...but you’ll just have to wait and see what that one is about ;)

Love is in the air, every where you look around!!!

For all those collectors out there, a print version of the companion will go on sale probably by the end of March. Subscribe to the mailing list or to this thread for updates.

(Let me know what you guys think!)

I’ll be available in a live chat at The Lost and Damned for anyone who wants to come talk with me about zombies and vampires and writing, oh my! The chat will be on Monday, June 4, 2007, 10 PM Eastern time (7 PM Pacific). I’ve started an events calendar that everyone can watch for updates and additions--or you guys could subscribe to the mailing list and receive automatic updates--am I starting to sound like a broken record? ;)

My friend Sam created a trailer for Roses of Blood on Barbwire Vines using art and music from Stephen Blundell (the death metal part in the middle is from stock).

“[Roses of Blood is a] marvelous dark fantasy—filled with ruthless vampires, flesh-eating zombies, and enough action to leave you breathless. Intense, gruesome, funny, and fast-paced—it has all the ingredients needed to satisfy even the most jaded fan of horror fiction.”—Jonathan Maberry, Author of Dead Man’s Song

Hi D.L. nice to meet you.

Hey, thanks for posting! People around here disdain me because I advertise my book, but I say to them, "Spammers don't interact with other board members"--I do. So I’m an interactive spammer.

Do you write or create or anything?

If you pre-order more than one copy of Roses, you will be entered into the raffle more than once, thus increasing your odds of winning the zombie portrait. For example, if you buy two copies, you will be entered twice; three copies, thrice; and so on and so forth. So if you have friends who may be interested, Roses might make a magnificent gift. Or if you want a copy for your collection and one other to read, dog-ear, and crease--well, you can do that too. After all, isn’t a picture of yourself as a zombie worth it? ;)

And check out this new mutated zombie sketch that my friend drew for the book. That’s right--my zombies can grow extra heads!
