Cool New Book!
...and it isn't mine:
Tempted by an infomercial, Angela Christie becomes the Black Dwarf’s next unwitting victim in his vile plot. After surviving a booby trapped spacecraft, Inspector Lestrayed, Jack Clay and Shotgun are no closer to catching the Black Dwarf. When they discover another dwarf maiden cut down in the prime of life, they work desperately against the clock to find the wicked warlock before he commits his next terrible crime.
To advance his cruel plot, the Black Dwarf requires a sacrifice of first born children. And he aims to use biot orphans from a school in Moab, the subterranean land three levels below Nodlon.
Can Jack solve the riddle of the missing dwarves? Will Jack help Princess Virginia free the biots? Will Jack survive his next encounter with the deadly dwarf?
What villainy is the Black Dwarf up to?
What are the Black Dwarf and his deadly accomplices Helter and Skelter up?
Will the magician boldly fight a foe no magician has fought before?
Find out in the strange and quirky odyssey of Jack Clay!

Here's a quick synopsis of the story:
A godlike, alien
intelligence has transformed most of the world's human population into the
walking dead, leaving only a handful of survivors to claw out a life amid the
ruins, all the while fighting a mysterious necromantic villain and his zombie
hordes.
In Northern New York
State, three uncommon allies lead one of these bands in this epic struggle as
they learn both the strengths and weaknesses of their enemies… and of
themselves.
Pushed to their limits
and holed up on a remote lake island, life has taken on a new normality. That
is until the realization sets in that when winter arrives, all hell will freeze
over. For it is then that the open waters of the lake, the only barrier against
the unrelenting dead, will freeze. And the monsters will come. By the
thousands…

And So...
Back from New York, and and the process of self-publishing the book grinds on. Through my agent, I've located a copy/line editor who will give my book a read and let me know all of the mistakes I've made.
Let there be none. Let there be none...
I've also been hashing out my Kickstarter campaign, because every good project (or even, "any" project) should have a Kickstarter campaign to usher in either wonderful success or hand-wringing failure.
So here is for success!
Stay tuned to see how it goes. It may be ugly.

News on the Zombie Book
I got off the phone with my agent yesterday and have been pondering the conversation ever since. Basically, there is some good news. He sent the pitch letter out last month and two publishers got back to him with a request for the full manuscript! Nice. From there, though, we discussed how we've had interest in the book like this before and it only resulted in heartbreak (okay, maybe not "heartbreak," but certainly disappointment). So the track we decided upon is to gain traction by releasing the book first as a self-published work. If it sees a lot of readers, then a publisher would be more apt to bite. So, away we go...
I'm starting to put things in motion and we'll see where this thing leads.
More to come very soon.
In the meantime, here is some zombie art I whipped up:

Still Searching for that Publisher!
It's been what? Eight months?
Yeah, eight months and still searching.
I finished writing my first novel ten months ago, sent it out to literary agents, found one who wanted to sign me on, signed on, did up a swell ole' pitch letter, and have spent the last eight months checking my email every five minutes hoping for that wonderful email saying, "Hey Dave, guess what!"
That moment has not occurred.
Blarg.
We've sent it around to 19 publishers so far (including the BIG 6- meaning those massive guys in NY) and we've had it on the desks of nine of them! That's pretty good, right? Well, yes and no. Out of those nine, we've had seven of them say, "thanks but no thanks" and two of them say, "we're still thinkin' it over, we'll let ya know."
Blarg. Again.
So now we are sending out to a new batch of editors and poking those who need poking. We'll see how that goes.
I'll let you know.
One good thing with all this waiting is that now I am up to checking my email every six minutes. That's an improvement, right?
Anyhow, here's some art:
