Chuffed...

My writer's ego likes this:

Third paragraph from the bottom, with a superb review of Warrior Wisewoman 3...

in which I'm referred to as a 'contemporary short story author. That just feels good.

I'm tempted to celebrate by posting something interesting here...watch this space.

Zombist on Amazon!

The print version is now up and can be ordered.

They also fixed the ebook version to the correct tagline.

Again, this is a four hundred page book with 29 stories, hence the high price for a trade paperback. Its well under a dollar a tale. I'm hoping to get my copy next week...and can't wait to have it in my hands.

Zombist for Kindle!

If you have a Kindle...or the iPhone app, or a Kindle app for your computer...you can now infect it with zombies.

The Zombist - Undead Western Stories is now available in the Kindle store. (Not entirely sure why its 'Stories' not 'Tales' but it really is the same book. Amazon can be weird).

Inception

Went to see it last night. I would put this in the category of 'good, but not great'.

I also would not compare it to the Matrix so much as to Dark City...a lot of similarities in the feel and the visual tone. The ending is rather predictable, but the overall production values are good.

Unbelievably, they used almost no CGI. I can't say any more without spoilers...but its worth the theater price of admission.
