Extreme Zombies Anthology Announced!

Extreme Zombies Anthology from Prime Books

I am thrilled to announce a new zombie anthology! The other authors in this collection are fantastic and I am humbled to be included with such fine wordsmiths. This collection is edited by the esteemed Paula Guran.

From the publisher’s website:

It’s too late! The living dead have already taken over the world. Your brains have been devoured. Nothing is left but spasms of ravenous need—an obscene hunger for even more zombie fiction. Forget the metaphors and the mildly scary. You want shock, you want grue, you want disturbing, gut-wrenching, skull-crunching zombie stories that take you over the edge and go splat. You want the bloody best of the ultimate undead. You have no choice. . . you. . . must. . . have. . . Extreme Zombies!

Thank You! Fang will blow up. . .

First and foremost, thank you. I’m really happy I can write about Fang again and if there’s one thing I hope I can convey always and forever in my work, is just how much you, the reader, means to my future as an author. After all, I have not yet begun to fight! Er… Write!

Secondly, you really like explosions. Since two of the listed options tied for first place, you’ll get a bigger bang for your buck. (See what I did there?) 🙂

Not only will Fang blow up his own ship, but he’ll also exact a little revenge on the headquarters of Redwing Securities.

Now, to figure out a plot that won’t disintegrate when the building does…

We did it! Now Vote on What Fang Blows Up.

Earlier this evening, I promised that if we achieved the new stretch goal by midnight tonight, you would get to vote on what (or who) Fang blows up in my story. For context, read my earlier post today titled: “Fang (and I) Need Your Help.” or visit the Have Blaster, Will Travel Bulldogs! anthology Kickstarter.

As promised, here’s a poll! I can’t write this without you, so help me decide where the explosions’ll happen. If you can’t fill it out on this post, follow this link.

(Shoot! I was so excited I almost forgot to say the two most important words in this post: THANK YOU.)

Fang (And I) Need Your Help

Dear Readers of Extraordinary Calibre:

If the “Have Blaster, Will Travel” Kickstarter reaches its next stretch goal of $3,000 by Sunday, April 29th, you will receive three new science fiction stories in this anthology. Not only am I one of the authors included in that new goal, but you’ll also get a story *just* about Fang, the psychotic teddy bear featured in the novella Redwing’s Gambit.

I believe in this setting, the publisher, and the talented authors involved. But more than that, this is my opportunity to write a character fans like and design a plot you’ll enjoy. To me, that’s “the” reason why I write.

I hope you’ll support this collection of stories and beg your forgiveness if this went too far into Self-Promotion Land, but there are days when I ache for the cheers of my readers. This character is one of my favorites and I’d hate to see him die a horrible, untimely death.

To back the Kickstarter, visit Have Blaster, Will Travel: A Bulldogs! Anthology

Love,

Agent M

Pre-Order Don’t Read This Book

Down a lonely alleyway, under a starless sky, lies a city that never was, yet is: the Mad City, where nightmares walk the streets, and a good night’s sleep can get you killed.

Here, then, is a book from that place. Within these recovered pages are the tales of the Awake, insomniacs who’ve walked those perilous streets, bringing a bit of the power of dream with them to fight back the night—always at a terrible cost.

For many, it will not end well. For a few, they might just become heroes—or at least find their way back home.

For you, a choice. Turn away. Don’t read this book. And maybe you’ll continue to rest easy. Or open the cover and enter a world unlike any you’ve ever dared to imagine…

Edited by Chuck Wendig and featuring the stories of…

– Stephen Blackmoore
– Harry Connolly
– Rich Dansky
– Matt Forbeck
– Laura Anne Gilman
– Will Hindmarch
– Mur Lafferty
– Robin D. Laws
– Ryan Macklin
– C. E. Murphy
– Josh Roby
– Greg Stolze
– Monica Valentinelli

My story is titled “Don’t Ignore Your Dead.” It is an exploration of grief for a college-aged insomniac plagued with guilt, anger, and loss.

Pre-Order the softcover edition at EvilHat.com today.
