Yup, here it is folks.  The cover to the very last book of The Rift.  I'm quite proud of this one, and let me tell you, it was an adventure to write.

While the ebook is obviously now available, the paperback won't be available for another couple of weeks.  Once that occurs, the illustrations will be inserted into the digital copy.

So click here to purchase the climactic book on Amazon!  You won't be disappointed.  I promise.

 
 
Does horror and a crafter's festival dedicated to the love of strawberries mix?  Well, yes sir it does!  Okay, maybe not, but it's still a neat idea.

The Cranky Artist and myself joined the NEHW at the festival yesterday (June 16th), and got to hang out with a few of our fellow horrorphiles.  The sales may have lacked, but it was certainly a fun experience and one that we will be sure to partake in again.

Here are some pics from the event:

Sign for the attendees. For some reason they listed me first and the Cranky Artist last, which meant we got to embrace them all in a sweaty meat sandwich.

One of the NEHW tables...

...and the other, complete with me and one of Kristi Petersen Schoonover's random friends. (Sorry Michelle!)

The same table, this time starring the Cranky Artist, looking slightly less cranky than usual.

Stacey...still chatting...taking a break from hacking the shit out of the manuscript in her lap.

Jason Harris and the rest of us chatting up a rather hyper potential buyer.

Kristi chatting toward the end of the day.

I am the lord of all I survey.

Me and my ladies. And no, my head's not that small. Damn camera angles.
So there you go!  Fun times, new friends made, and fun discussions had by all.  Now to find a way to do more of these...

It turns out there's something called the Zombie Research Society, and they give out annual awards to their different chapters.  What is zombie research?  Honestly, I couldn't tell you.  But it's pretty interesting that the city of Omaha, Nebraska won this year.  Interesting because if a zombie apocalypse ever happened, I can't think of a safer state than Nebraska - open plains relatively small population, and plenty of guns.

Let's hear it for the Omahanians!  They're my kind of peeps, I tells you.  And hey, good people of Omaha, check out our books!  If you like zombies, and doing something original with them, I think The Rift leave you impressed.
