Just a quick update.
Current mood: cantankerous
Category: Blogging

Hello there.  Sorry I haven't been that active here lately.  I have been writing everyday to finish Rise and Walk: Pathogen. I also have had a lot of video jobs to work on.  So, I've been busy.  Rise 2 is progressing and I should have a cover to post soon.  
The big news is that I haven't had a cigarette since news years.  I really miss them but thought I should quit.  I didn't want to say much about it until I was successful and I figure that over a month was long enough.  On Monday it will be five weeks.

Take Care friends...
Greg
BTW.  As I type this, there is a really crappy Steven Segal movie on called Submerged.  What the hell happened to this cat?  I mean, what the hell does this guy eat, Salted Sweet Cream Butter and Hog-fat? His hair plugs are starting to show their original pubic kink as well.
Anyways, don't waste your time on it.

My first horror and scifi convention...
Current mood: rejuvenated

I attended the SiliCon Convention as a guest last weekend.  I posted a report on the event at my blog.  There were too many links and photos to repost it here so drop over to my blog to check out the event.  This was my first Rise and Walk Promtional event and everything went great.  I handed out many chapbooks and cards and the results generated lots of interest.  Rise and Walk has done very well on Amazon this past week.  Thanks to everyone for your support.

Been Busy
Current mood: accomplished

Greetings friends,

I apologize for my lack of posts lately.  I attended the SiliCon Science fiction and Horror convention last weekend and was very busy preparing for the event.  I had a great time.  I will be posting information on how I made my promotional materials as well as how the convention went in successive posts.  One of the first things that I had to do was create a press release about Rise and Walk.  One author in the forums was a little surprised that I had yet to make a press release given all the success that Rise and Walk has received.  I just didn't know what to say until very recently.  I researched other press releases for books and set to making my own.

I will have more updates soon but for now, here is my release.

Take Care,

Greg

Library of the Living Dead podcast
Current mood: thankful

The good Doctor Pus at the Library of the Living Dead podcast is reading the first seven chapters of Rise and Walk.  Episode 17 is up now with the first chapter.  It is a crazy and fun show that will appeal to zombie fans.  The Doctor also has a review of Walter Greatshell's Xombies and other readings.  Check it out but be warned, its an hour and a half long.
