Interview on Sci-Fi Overdrive
I did an interview about Zombies vs. Nazis with Sci-Fi Overdrive that apparently aired last month. To listen, click here and scroll down to “The Weekend of July 9th.”
(Bonus: Listen for tugboats on the Chicago River at 1:43.)
Interview on Day of the Woman
The very cool Brittney-Jade Colangelo interviewed me about Zombies vs. Nazis, the forthcoming Zombie, Illinois, and other stuff for her awesome horror website Day of the Woman. Click here to read the interview.
Zombies in The Army Times
Yesterday, The Army Times did a neat story about fighting zombies. It quotes me, Matt Mogk, and a bunch of other zombie writers.
Mark yer calendars. . .
I’ve just committed to appear at ZomBCon 2011 in Seattle, this coming October 21-23.
Last year’s ZomBcon was really wonderful– exciting, fun, galvanizing. . . and very, very well-run. And I expect 2011 to be even better! It sounds like they’ve got a new, larger venue, and a bunch of new guests for 2011 including Tom Savini, Sid Haig, Judith O’Dea, Jovanka Vuckovic, and tons more.

Boaris Frankenswine
A couple of years ago, an excellent artist named J. Anthony Kosar did the zombie makeup for the trailer for my book Z.E.O.
Today, Anthony is using his talents to raise funds for a grade school in Lemont, IL. He has created a sculpture dubbed “Boaris Frankenswine” upon which one may bid in a fundraiser for the school.
From Anthony’s release:
If you or anyone you know are interested in owning this one-of-a-kind 30″w x 30.5″h x 32″d custom life-size hand-sculpted and hand-painted Boaris Frankenswine sculpture by me, you can take part in the auction without even being at the event. Just contact Lisa Simone Porter at 630-235-3466 or by email: Lsimoneporter@aaart.edu on or before the event on Saturday March 19, 2011. According to Lisa Simone Porter, you will be connected to the auction by phone, able to bid live, and possibly win this original work of art, all while helping out a good cause.

Zombie College Musical
Here’s Part 1 of a new zombie musical being filmed by students at Carnegie Mellon University. It has zombies, singing, and popped collars. What is not to love?
