Welcome to the home of the Zombie Chronicles!

This website contains fictional stories, novels and novellas. For the present and foreseeable future the content is going to be about the living dead set in the 'Zombie Chronicles' setting I have been working on for the past few years. I update the website every Thursday night. If I cannot make the Thursday deadline I will at least try to post a note (lame excuse as to why not) here before hand. So check out the content and then drop me a line through the contact page with suggestions, comments or encouragement. Or you could follow me on Twitter, but I tweet, like, once a day right now...tops.

News

1 September - Better early than late, right? I am gaming Thursday night so I posted this on the 1st instead of the 2nd. The second chapter of Cruising is awaiting your reading pleasure. After this short story is finished I am going to finish off 'The First Zombie' followed by 'The Blood Drinkers'.

26 August - The first chapter of Cruising is up. It is not a very robust start to the story, I think I should have ended the People's choice vote on Tuesday and got to work on the story yesterday and today, as it is I only doubled the lenght of the synopsis I posted for people to vote on. <shrug> I have had short weeks before and I will do my best to make it up next week. I have to admit the reason it is a short post is that I kept delaying writing on it because I have been having fun writing on TZC3. That <character name> is fun to write about! Especially now that <gender> has ran into <other character name> and < third character name>. I can't wait to write on it some more. I have five solid chapters finished so far and as long as I can hold myself back from editing About a Woman or Found I should have the book finished sooner than the last one. Promises, promises, I know. Okay I will restrain myself from giving updates on the weekly post in the future, that is, after all, what the blog is for.

25 August - "Cruising" took the The People's Choice. I will start on the next chapter and have it ready by next Thursday...which means I had better find something for tomorrows post! I do hope not to disappoint anyone!

21 August - "Cruising" and "The Blood Drinkers" are still tied for The People's Choice. Oh and for the cynics; Yes people are *still* voting, but just for those two stories, I may have to write them both every week, or alternate... I hadn't thought about what to do if two stories tied. A friend of mine mentioned that I should put a random lucky winner into the story, given the fact that I am not expecting hundreds of votes I think I might be able to work more than that in.

20 August - "Cruising" and "The Blood Drinkers" are running neck and neck in The People's Choice

19 August - The final installment of TZC2: Discovery is posted. That is the end friends and now I find myself wondering what to post here week after week. I am not going to start posting TZC3 right away, though, yes indeed, I have been writing on it. I do not think I will start posting it until I have thirty or so chapters written. Why? Well, I want to do a better job, which means I edit it, proof read it and DON'T post it until I have. Call me crazy, but people seem to prefer tighter editing.

In the meantime I will keep posting stories here. "But what?" you ask. How about I leave that up to you? No, no, not entirely up to you, I will do the writing and I have some ideas of what I want to write, but I have the first chapters of six stories and you, the reader, will have until next Wednesday to vote, which ever story gets the most votes, I will write. So without further adieu here is The People's Choice

 

12 August - Chapter Forty-Eight has been posted to TZC2. One chapter left. I have started TZC3 and I think I am going to start posting that in a couple of weeks.

5 August - A late night for me, I had a lawn emergency to take care of. I posted Chapter Forty-Seven to TZC2. There are only two chapters left to post of this story! I also posted Ten in Billions tonight.

29 July - I posted a nice, meaty chapter to TZC2: Chapter Forty-Six awaits your reading pleasure.

28 July - I updated the products page with the link to TZC2:Discovery on Smashwords and the Kindle. I am having an internal debate on whether to make a print version, I so like the idea of 'digital copy only'.

22 July - I posted Chapter Forty-Five to TZC2.

19 July - Just a quick hit here to add Nine in Billions.

15 July - Chapter Forty-Four awaits your reading pleasure. I wrote A LOT last week, some of which will be getting to the site over the weekend if I can touch it up a bit.

08 July - I posted Chapter Forty-Three to TZC2.

01 July - I posted Chapter Forty-Two to TZC2.

24 June - Well I have to say I am a bit disappointed in not getting another chapter of "The First Zombie" up, things have just been too dang busy to do much in the way of writing these days, mostly I am stuck editing and there are only so many hours a day I can devote to this crazy 'hobby' I have. I did post the next chapter, Chapter Forty One to TZC2.
