Tiny GOODHALO Excerpt & Update
“Your bravery surprises me, Pious,” Hurvick said. “But our fates are in the hands of the gods.”
“Their hands are full,” Pi replied, which made Lasha gasp.

So, that’s what I’ve been doing friends. Working FEVERISHLY on the revision and overhauling of my little zombie book, GOODHALO. I’m on a mission to trim this thing down to a decent fighting weight and it has been slow-going. I’m about 1/3 of the way through with the hope that I’ll have it ready to show by fall-ish/end of September.
As if that weren’t enough, I’ve been tapped to write 4 more books for the younger set. And speaking of sets…I get to write all of the books in the new set myself! Picture Window Books asked if I’d be interested in writing 4 titles about legendary creatures/phenomena.
Er…yeah!
So, between now and November, I’m not only revising, revising, revising, I’m also writing books on VAMPIRES, WEREWOLVES, BIGFOOT and THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE. By the time these puppies come out, I’ll have 12 books published.
Seriously…how is that even possible? It seems like just yesterday that I was lucky enough to have PATRICK’S SUPER SOCKS published.
Cool times, friends. Busy times, to be sure, but cool times nonetheless.
So…don’t take my long absences from the blog personally. I’m just one busy fella.
Wish me luck and think of how envious I am that you get to watch movies, play video games and do other fun stuff while I slave away in the Nerdery. Hopefully in November I’ll be able to watch a DVD or two.
Ciao for now. Be good.
Good Sir,
I sincerely cannot wait to see the new leaner meaner Pious and Company do their thing. Couldn't be happier for you.

Great. I can't wait to read that too. ๐ I'm working on the research for my dark Urban Fantasy series. Hopefully this will be the novel that gets picked up. Wish me luck. Did I tell you my flash piece, MARGIE, was published by Necrotic Tissue? ๐
I,too, can't wait to see this version. Check out the "Agent in the Middle" blog post (July 24, '09)titled "Agent EK is Avidly seeking Middle Grade and YA." A new agent at Lori Perkins Agency wants to see zombie books!
I just read on the "Guide to Literary Agents" blog that her name is Emily Keyes.
Time to bring out the emoticon cheerleader:

Here's to word conquerage!
SM – Thanks! It's been a HUGE learning experience, fo' sho'. Hopefully I won't botch it up.
DH – Congrats! I had no idea you got published in Necrotic Tissue. Very cool!!! When's it come out? Keep me updated on the new stuff you're working on.
Triple S – Ooooh…the zombie renaissance continues! I hope I don't miss the train.
Courts – BE AGGRESSIVE! (I won't spell the rest out) Thanks for the cheer. I'm gonna need it, yo.
