More About Zombies

By:

I thought yesterday’s comment about zombies would get your attention. Here’s the scoop:

A member of our Raintree Writers critique group, Brian Kaufman, has just released his new novel, Dead Beyond the Fence: A Novel of the Zombie Apocalypse. That’s Brian over there on the left.

The cover photo on the right is a picture of the Raintree Writers at one of our critique group meetings. I think they were dissecting my submission the night this was taken.

Okay, just kidding.

I never thought much about zombies before Brian joined our critique group. You can bet they’re on my mind now.

Brian’s launch party and zombie event was last night. I did not dress up like a zombie, nor did I let the makeup artists apply zombie goop to my face. I claimed that I never wear makeup because it makes my sensitive skin itch, and they believed me.

There were quite a few creepy characters present. Two of the best dressed are in the photo on the left . It’s a wonder I didn’t have nightmares. This fellow on the right is also in my critique group. We’ll call him the smiling zombie. On the other hand, I could also call him Zombie Ken.

Brian’s new blog is Food, Politics and Zombies.

  3. Very clever….sensitive skin excuse. Must remember that if I ever go to a zombie launch.

    The art is very good in a disturbing sort of way.

  5. Kay — I think the artist for that cover is freelance. I’ll have to ask Brian more about that. Wouldn’t you love to have that painting hanging on your bedroom wall?

    Donna — I thought no one was going to ask that question. 🙂

  7. Who’s art department came up with the cover? I thought it was great. Anyone of them looks like me in the morning without coffee.
