ClickMonkeys!! was my first web site, and I’ve let it languish for a while. So last night I finally got around to migrating it to a CMS and updating some of the copy. Just need to get in some redirectors and it’s nice and new and relevant again!
A few months late and a new artist, Jheremy Raapack (who rocks!) but RE3 is finally on shelves. Picked up my copy today.
The story finally brings together Agents Gere and Sugarman in Ubelandia, a made up South American nation. They’e on be trail of the source of the latest T-virus outbreaks and are ambushed by zombies. Any more would be telling!
I think the series really takes off with this issue.
From the classic Italian horror film, Zombie
I know I said I was working on a sequel to Elvis Sightings. And I am. But I got distracted by the wonderful world of zombies.
A friend of mine told me about a couple of publishers looking for zombie material so I turned my attention to where I knew I would find fertile ground. Besides, I’ve done zombies once with Resident Evil, I figured I had the zombie patois down. Ngggggg Unnggggggg Guuuuhhhhh. You know.
So I’ve been working on two premises for zombie based stories. One follows a fairly traditional zombiepocalypse scenario, but I think I found an interesting twist on it.
The second, which is the one I really, really like, well, I’m not going to tell you. I think its such a good idea I don’t want you to steal it. Sorry.
As a byproduct of working on these zombie pitches, yet another friend of mine turned me on to Cliffhanger Books and a new short story anthology they’re working on called Paramourtal. A supernatural romance collection that is a play on Paramour and Mortal. I think the title is clever. In fact, I thought it was so clever I immediately turned my attention to crafting a zombie romance to submit.
Why should vampires get all the love?
Crypto Taxidermy
I’ve finished Elvis Sightings and am beginning work on its sequel. (Yeah, I know, might want to get an Agent or Publisher for first book…)
The main character, Floyd, is employed by a crypto taxidermy collector, so I’ve been looking into crypto taxidermy and have found some stunning artists in the field. So far, Sarina Brewer is one of my favorites. If I ever sell a book I am going to buy one of her pieces.
A few months ago I was assigned a new gig with Wildstorm writing up a comic based on NCSoft’s forthcoming MMOG Aion. The game has a pretty extensive back story and the turn around was practically zero, but the book was a ton of fun to write and I got to work with artist Neil Googe, who’s work I think is awesome.
The comic book came out as a give away at Penny Arcade Expo over Labor Day, and is available at GameStop if you pre-order the game (I think)
Aion: Aiva’s Story is a one shot, meaning a one issue series. Hopefully it will turn into a real series. I’d love to write it! Below is the wrap around cover Neil did.
