Patreon 2.0 Update
Patreon 2.0 Update
Patreon 2.0 is coming along. You should see the new layout, the new features, the new coolness of it all. I’m working hard to get things ready for you and to entertain you when you become a patron. The page is still a work-in-progress at this point with no official launch date. However, at the rate things are going, it’ll be soon-ish.
Just keep checking back here at the blog for an announcement as well as on all the socials.
Like they say, stay tuned . . .
ZOMTROPOLIS Update: Synopsis
ZOMTROPOLIS Update: Synopsis
Here’s the ZOMTROPOLIS update:
So far we are on track to get this puppy to bed by this weekend (or sooner). After that, it’s just an issue of the computers doing their thing to get the book out into the world. An official launch will occur once the book starts popping up on online vendors in both paperback and eBook.
Here’s the first draft of the synopsis, subject to adjustment:
She Came Back into His Life
Only to Die on Him
Marty loved Selena. Maybe too much so, but after their breakup, everything went to hell, including the world around him. Now, alone in a zombie-infested city, Marty must come to terms with what’s happened both to his heart and to the world around him.
The journal begins and is transmitted to you while he deals with the past, the present, even the future, including the woman who tore his heart out and has come back into his life again. Except, she keeps dying on him and returning from the dead.
Is all slipping? Have too many nights with the bottle messed with his brain? Or is Marty simply falling apart because the world has died?
Or, maybe, it’s because Selena keeps dying on him but keeps coming back into his arms.
This transmission is a record of life in a dead city.
Hope, loss, pain.
The undead.
Welcome to Zomtropolis.

Axiom-man: The Dead Land Book Spotlight
Axiom-man: The Dead Land Book Spotlight
One night Gabriel Garrison was visited by a nameless messenger who bestowed upon him great power, a power intended for good. Once discovering what this power was and what it enabled him to do, Gabriel became Axiom-man, a symbol of hope in a city that had none.
A young boy goes missing.
Taken, in the middle of the night.
No clues. Nothing except the remnants of a black cloud, like the one coughed up from inside the Doorway of Darkness.
A black cloud that takes Axiom-man to a world not his own.
A dead world, where a gray and brown sky shrouds an entire city in a miasma of decay.
The streets are empty. The young boy is nowhere to be found.
Those he does find…are dead.
And walking.

Axiom-man: Doorway of Darkness Book Spotlight
One night Gabriel Garrison was visited by a nameless messenger who bestowed upon him great power, a power intended for good. Once discovering what this power was and what it enabled him to do, Gabriel became Axiom-man, a symbol of hope in a city that had none.
A mysterious anonymous letter promises to reveal he is Axiom-man unless he bows down to the sender’s demands.
And the timing cannot have been worse.
Redsaw has become more powerful than when Axiom-man battled him on what has become known as Black Saturday, and he has determined to attain unstoppable power through the only means he knows how: murder.
Chaos ensues and as the air is saturated with the stench of blood, Axiom-man must find the means to stop Redsaw before the whole world is swallowed in a web of death.
Complicating matters, something strange is happening to Axiom-man’s powers. The abilities he has put his faith in have changed.
As time runs out and city streets are overrun with carnage and fear, Axiom-man is pushed to his breaking point as he tries to stop the madman’s reign of terror, while also trying to discover what is happening to his powers and how they tie into a supernatural event that took place over five hundred years before.

Zomtropolis is Finished
On Sunday, I finally finished writing ZOMTROPOLIS: A RECORD OF LIFE IN A DEAD CITY.
It is a study on heartbreak, zombies, a broken post-apocalyptic metropolis, and a man descending into madness where the line between what’s real and what isn’t has become blurred.
Next steps:
Here’s a clip I recorded Sunday, tired and haggard a very short while after finishing the book.
Thanks for watching this old dog talk about his accomplishment. To watch more, please subscribe here.
While we wait for ZOMTROPOLIS, why not check out my other stand-alone zombie book, ZOMBIE FIGHT NIGHT: BATTLES OF THE DEAD? Great reviews. Everything awesome between two covers.
