Well, hello there...

     This is my first post to The Pug Zombie Blog, and I would like to start by saying thank you very much for reading. Of the countless other things available for you to occupy your time, you have chosen to read my blog, and I am honored.

     So what is The Pug Zombie Blog about? First and foremost it is a way for me to communicate with my readers about what is available and what is coming next. As of this writing, my debut novel, DEADRISE  is available as an ebook.  Kindle  Smashwords  The paperback version is coming soon.

     For those of you who have already purchased DEADRISE, Thank you! I am truly honored by your purchase and I hope you are enjoying the story. Please let me know what you think. The sequel isn't too far behind...

     Now your probably asking why the hell I waited until after my book was released to start my blog? Its a good question and the answer really quite simple. I was too busy getting my manuscript ready for publication to blog about it. Which leads me to topic # 2 of what this blog is all about. Besides shamelessly promoting my writing, I will also be discussing my experiences in self-publishing. I hope to share with you what I have learned, to help you avoid the pitfalls that ensnared me. And let me tell you, there were a lot of them.  It has been an extremely challenging yet very rewarding experience.

     It is also beginning to pay financially as well. But that is another topic for another day.

     Once again, thank you for reading.

     Be safe...

  1. Hey there! I just purchased DEADRISE (I got your flyer from the slc zombie walk). My dad is trying to self publish a book he wrote, and I'd really love to hear your advice on how to go about it.

  2. Thanks for buying DEADRISE! I hope you enjoy it very much. :)

    As for your dad's book? If it is written, edited & has cover art, he is ready to go. Just go to Kindle Direct Publishing, sign-up and upload his manuscript.
    I can't stress the importance of a well edited book. Or a good cover.
    He sets his own price. I would recommend never pricing above $2.99 That price qualifies it for the 70% royalty.
    And thats all there is to it...
