Sad Tidings

2011-09-10T20:00:00.000-07:00

Just a quick update to let you all know that my grandfather, Louie Mariani, passed away September 2, 2011. The impact of this man on my life cannot be overstated. He was my father figure and good dear friend. He took my early interest in movies and stories seriously and would talk with me about it for hours on end. I credit this, and therefore him, with the fact that I am writing today. Perhaps I will have a longer post later, giving more information about him and the impact he had on my life. For now I'll just leave it at this. Thanks guys for reading and we'll return to lighter stuff soon.

2011-04-13T20:39:00.000-07:00

I was perusing the awesome Creepy Kitch blog and discovered something. A very cool something. A very very cool something. A very very very ... sorry.

Guess what? No, not that. Save that for later. I'm talking about my new interview on Episode 159.5 of Mail Order Zombie! It was done at Horror Hound Weekend and was a lot of fun.
And there's not just an interview! There's also a giveaway of Lakewood Memorial, Ashton Memorial and the new edition of All Kinds Of Things Kill! Listen for details!
The interview and giveaway comes around the 28 minute mark.

But seriously, guys, listen to the whole thing. Sheesh. I can't take you guys anywhere.

Horror Hound Wrap-up

2011-04-01T14:00:00.000-07:00

Well my first Horror Hound trip was a lot of fun. The biggest convention Laura and I have been to so far and it did not disappoint. So much to do and see and I was stuck behind a table! Then again there were many times I was happy to have a place to sit.
Speaking of the table, we got a lot of traffic and gave out a lot of free sample chapters. Even better, we had a few come back and buy a book!
But best of all, I got to meet a ton of people who I've only interacted with online. Such as Mike from Cadaver Lab, Steven from JAFMP, Brother D, Miss Bren, Grey from The Dark Hours, Spooky Bill, Bryan and Randy from Drunken Zombie and too many others to list.
Highlights of the weekend included drunken revelry in the lobby of the hotel, being felt up by Mike from Cadaver Lab, feeling up Metal Mikey, and a long dinner chat with Brother D and Miss Bren. I tried to convince him that Phantasm sucks, but he refused to step into the light.
I also did several interviews while there, including some for the Dark Hours and Mail Order Zombie. And possibly best of all, I was a guest on Night Of The Living Podcast, which was the first horror podcast I found and a favorite to this day. Big thanks to Amy and Freddy for having me on.
Anyway, please forgive me if I met you and forgot to mention you here. It was great to meet you all and Laura and I had gobs of fun. Check out my Facebook to see the handful of pics we took.

Lakewood Memorial FREE e-book edition

2011-02-07T19:58:00.000-08:00

Hey gang and gang-ettes, you may recall awhile back I hinted at a free e-book edition of Lakewood Memorial. You may also recall I proceeded to do fuck-all about it. Well no more! Formatting issues with the Kindle edition of Lakewood Memorial have given me the perfect excuse to go ahead. So here it is. The free e-book edition of Lakewood Memorial!

Download here.

New Review of Lakewood Memorial

2011-02-07T19:28:00.000-08:00

Got a new review of Lakewood Memorial for you all. It's over at Steve Wand's site which you can find here. Steve's a great writer in his own right and it's great to hear him say such nice things about Lakewood Memorial. Check out the review here.

PS. The review mentions formatting issues with the Kindle version of Lakewood. This is the second time I've heard this mentioned and I will be looking into it as quickly as I can. For now, I'd say be aware of the formatting issue with the Kindle copy and watch this space for a FREE e-book edition of Lakewood. Soon. As in like the next few minutes. Seriously.
