Last summer Jonathan Maberry asked me to contribute to Zombie CSU.  I sent him something pronto.  The book is available at Amazon!

When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth….
 
And law enforcement is ready to take them down!
 
 Since Night of the Living Dead, zombies have been a frightening fixture on the pop culture landscape, lumbering after hapless humans, slurping up brains and veins and whatever warm, fleshy matter they can clench in their rotting limbs. But what if they were real? What would happen if tomorrow, corpses across the nation began springing up out of their graves and terrorizing the living?
 
Employing hard science and solid police work—not to mention jaw-dropping (literally!) humor—Zombie CSU is the only guide you need to make it through alive—not undead:
 
• Investigate zombie crime scenes, collecting and analyzing evidence of a zombie attacks, and create a “murder book.” 
• Examine the psychology of the zombie and develop a perp profile. 
• Observe medical science pros as they probe felled zombies for forensic clues. 
• Devise a zombie apocalypse survival scorecard and more! 
 
Complete with lists of must-see zombie flicks from around the globe and tons of tips for kicking undead butt, Zombie CSU features hundreds of interviews with real zombie experts, forensics experts, detectives, filmmakers, and more.
 
Special guest stars: Max Brooks, Tony Todd, Brian Keene, Patricia Tallman, David Wellington, James Gunn, Robert Kirkman, Dr. Wade Davis, Robert Sacchetto, Zombie Squad, Ramsey Campbell, Kim Paffenroth, Amy Grech, Jamie Russell, Michael “CJ” Kelly, Bruce “Andy” Bohne, and dozens more!

Issue #17 of The Horror Fiction Review features an awesome Apple of My Eye Review.  Get yours today!  I'm in good company.  The issue also features exclusive interviews with John R. Little and marysang, as well as reviews of Brian Keene's Dead Sea and Gary A. Braunbeck's Mr. Hands.

When I don't have major plans, I like to sleep in on Sunday, to re-charge for the coming work-week!  So when I went out at 10:30 this morning, I did a double take on my way to buy my copy of Newsday.   There was a full-gown Iguana named Max sunning himself on the sidewalk.  His owner, an eccentric woman, told Max it was time to go home!  I didn't have my phone with me, so I missed a really cool shot.  :(  Some people stopped to take pictures--an Iguana is an unusual sight in Park Slope!

One my way to cat sit, I almost pulled a Keene--a light blue van plowed around the corner, even though I had the right-of-way.  The driver came very close to hitting me.  I jumped out of the way just in time and flipped him the bird!!  He stopped for a minute, obviously bewildered before speeding off.

I joined Members of the NYC Chapter of the HWA for drinks at Dempsey's, bar in the East Village.  The usual suspects were there; Brian Keene, and Peter Miller also joined us.  Peter is a very successful Literary and Film Manger her in New York; I've been his Web Designer for over two years now.

It's always great to see Brian and catch up.  I gave him a copy of Apple of My Eye and he introduced me to Del Howison, who has an awesome book store in California called Dark Delicacies.   Brian tells me he goes above and beyond for Authors--that's good to know!
