Thanks

Fans of the 'Greg the Zombie' series. The set of short stories I'm working on, which are set after the second book, are still going strong. Also, for those of you who want to know more about Lowri Adda, Warren and Evana's Daughter, there's a story centered around her. I decided that I wanted to explore her personality a bit more, and I liked where it went.

I'm not going to give too much out at the moment, but I will say she's a decent mix of both Evana and Warren. Anyway, I want to thank all of you who have been following Greg, and who like the writing I do. I sincerely hope that I am able to continue to entertain you. After all, that's why I write. I just want to make something people enjoy reading, and maybe it helps make things not suck for a while. If I've done that, then hey, I've done my job. 

Being the huge geek I am I want to leave you with a phrase inside of a phrase. "Nobata Crispo Chone Gusha Moolee-rah" I will say it's a Star Trek phrase, a fairly famous one, said in Huttese

Contest

With the second book nearing it's end I thought that I would do something for my readers. To that end I'm going to have a little contest. It's nothing major, but the prize is an autographed copy of both Risen and Hellfire (when Hellfire comes out, hopefully in Dec or Jan). The contest itself is a s

ort of question and answer.

Question 1) Who or what is the Necromancer which is responsible for the death of Ernest Richards?

Question 2) What was the name of the Embalmer Greg and Evana run into at the Cemetery? (Not really bonus, but for fun what movie and two characters is this character's name based off of?)

Question 3) What is the Classic, and who sold it to Greg? (Again not a bonus, but what was the classic and the character who sold it to Greg a nod to?)

Question 4) Who is Thanatos' mother, and how is she connected to Greg?

Question 5) Who does Amber contact for information, and what does he charge for the extra information he has?

Question 6) Why is Greg brought before the World Between's Court, and what is he sentenced to do?

Question 7) What information does Evana attempt to get off of the information broker, and what is his first response?

Question 8 ) What is the name of the Necromancer who performed the ritual on Greg, and where did they meet?

Okay, that's the questions. Basically the first two to Answer gets the prize. The autographed copies of Risen and Hellfire will be sent out after Hellfire is finished, edited, and submitted for approval. Thanks to everyone who has been reading!

Just an Update

So... I've been working some on Book two of the Greg the Zombie journals, and I should have done some tonight. I have a fantastic feeling on the direction the book is going to go, and to be honest... I'm excited. I also know that it's going to be drawing to a close pretty soon.

That said... I'm going to feel kind of sad to see this book get finished. It's one of my babies. I don't know w

hat kind of future I have with my writing, but I do hope that it is something I can do full time eventually. I honestly can't think of anything else I would rather do.

Thanks to everyone who has read the first book, enjoyed it, and supported me. It's good to know that I've got friends, family, and fans. I only hope that I can continue to entertain all of you, and that what I write will be something that helps make your days a little better.

Public Reading, Question and Answer, and Book Signing

I am so awful...  I've been so busy with everything else that I've forgotten about the blog.  Well, good people I am back, and hopefully a bit more often.  So, here is a little info so far.

On Oct. 31st at 7 pm I will be doing a public reading of the first four or five chapters of Risen: The 'Greg the Zombie' Journals.  After the reading I'll do a question and answer session followed by a book signing.  I'm hopeful that the turn out will be decent.

Besides that the work on the second book is still going strong.  Rachel has been doing a fantastic job of reading, and giving me advice the entire time on what she thinks could use some changes in the book.  Naturally, I've been keeping her suggestions close.

The book is getting a darker tone than the first, but I think we all saw this coming.  I don't want to ruin any of the surprises, but let me say...  It's a might darker. 

Thanks for all of the support, and I hope that I continue to provide you with the same level of entertainment I've done so far. 

Sorry for not getting the first three chapters up yet.  I've been busy writing the book and I haven't come back to edit them.  With that said...  I should say that I'll post the first three chapters, but I believe it's going to be a little closer to the book being finished...  I will however give all of you a little something for waiting.

The new book is called Hellfire, and we're going darker.  How much darker?  Well lets say that I'm going to be exploring quite a bit of Thanatos' back story.  It's not pleasant.  This book is taking some strange twists, turns, and bumps.  I will try to keep up with regular posts on the blog as well as facebook from this point on.

Thanks guys, you make it worth while.

Updates!

So far I've banged out several chapters and I've realized how much I enjoy writing about Greg and the supernatural community.  That said I'm going to post the first three chapters of the story on the blog starting tomorrow. 

I want to thank everyone for following and reading about Greg's adventures.

Book two is coming

I've been told that when I go in I go in deep.  I suppose that's true.  I've been working on book two for a while, but it's been the last couple of days that I've done the most work.  I've already written the first four chapters, and I'm moving into five.  Everything I have planned for book two is coming out great, but for those of you who are enjoying the ride I do want to say that number two is going to be darker. 
Thanks for reading, and I promise I'll keep writing,

Chris
