Interview with writer/blogger Heather Myers

I just did an interview with southern CA writer/blogger Heather Myers. We talk about, well, me and what makes me tick.

Topics include: what inspires me, why zombies, and why yelling and throwing things at a computer does not successfully combat writer's block.

Here's the link for the article:

It's right here

Check it out, blog-reader-people! Thanks for stoppin' by!!

Nightmare on Elm Street round 2 podcast...

Again, +michael boyajian and myself were on the show Under Candlelight with hosts Armada and Vincent. We continued on with the NoES series, talking about the second and third movies (Freddy's Revenge and Dream Warriors). We discuss the general disappointment of the second film, the ridiculously awesome kills in the third one, why it was bad ass to carry a switchblade in the 80's, go off topic for a little (okay maybe more than a little but not a lot), then come back and figure out what everyone's dream power would be...what is mine? You'll have to watch to learn.

GoodReads GIVEAWAY EXTRAVAGANZA!!!!

So I'm giving away a couple copies of "The Change" on GoodReads. To be honest it's not really the extravaganza like I titled this, I just wanted to catch your attention. It's basically your standard giveaway.

It is really easy though if you want to try your luck for one of the free print signed copies...

Step 1: Actually want one and/or want to dedicate the next 30-60 seconds of your life to this

Step 2: Follow this link.

Step 3: Give me all your information including credit cards and social security numbers. Kidding. Just an address where you want the book shipped to when you win. (when, not if because I'm thinking positive for you).

Step 4: There really isn't one. Since I made one, I guess it's "wait until the giveaway ends and see if you won."

There it is. Good luck to everyone and all three of you who read this.

Review of "The Change", a fellow zombie author, some other zombie stuff, and then back to the review, kinda

So a day or two ago, or maybe three, fellow horror writer and zombie lover +J. Cornell Michel did me the honor of reading "The Change" and publishing her review on a kick-ass website she writes for called Zombie Guide Magazine. It's a pretty rad site, and if you're into zombies you have to check it out! The setup is awesome and the writers even more.

Anyway, Michel reviewed "The Longest Road" a few weeks back and was excited up for round two in the series. I was like a kid waiting for Christmas (cliche, whatever) to hear what she thought about it. I can't really explain it, it's just different getting a review from someone who is a writer in your genre. After multiple rides on the metro and time spent traveling around the country visiting different horror-related conventions, she finished the book and this is her review! I can't thank her enough for the time and energy she put into it!

For those who don't know Michel, she is a fantastic writer and the author of her own zombie novel entitled "Jordan's Brains." As I have mentioned on a few other posts and articles, I like my zombies traditional-esque: walkers or sprinters, blood lusters and virus/plague carriers. I have a hard time getting into thinkers, weapon users and undead fallen in-love-ers. Keep it simple, right? BUT I have to say that Michel created a very unique perspective in her first person narrative. I thoroughly enjoyed the ride inside Jordan's mind and the numerous funny, tragic, uplifting, down-beating moments. I won't spoil anything, but if you get a chance give her story a chance- if you're still on the fence, you can find my full review of it if you click on this (and then look scroll down for my review, it's in there somewhere).

Gettin' back on track, actually I don't know what else I fee like writing about right now, so I'll end it.

Before you go clicking away, and as if this post didn't have enough, here's some other links I'm too lazy to make another post for:

Review of "The Longest Road" on Zombie-Guide Magazine by J. Cornell Michel
My thoughts on the zombie evolution, a guest post on Zombie-Guide Magazine

First podcast!

So this past Friday I was on my very first podicast "Under Candlelight" with Armada, Vincent, a guy named Total Wafflez (with a "z") and my buddy +Michael Boyajian. We talked about the original Nightmare on Elm Street, or at least tried to, because as you will see we did touch on other movies in the series and went off topic into other horror movies. Everyone gave their favorite parts, likes/dislikes, top kills, what we would have done differently and how this slasher affected us- among other sh!t (can I cuss on here?)

Anyway, for me in particular, Freddy was king back in the day. I'm a big dreamer and always have been, so I'm sure you could imagine after I saw NoES 1 back in the 80's I was freaked out. Straight up, forever changed. Screw the boogyman in my closet, f**k Jason Voorhees pulling me under water at any summer camp, my worst fear was Freddy getting to me in my dreams. And he did, a few times, but luckily he stopped haunting me a few years ago. I won't go into those details, well unless you ask nicely.

I won't spoil it for anyone who wants to watch the podcast/hangout, but we did have some good laughs and you can watch how Freddy terrorized me. I had a blast with everyone and am looking forward to round two.

Look out for the next episode this upcoming Friday (8/16/13) where we keep diving into the NoES series with our hosts Armada and Vincent.
