Anyone into apocalyptic zombie novels?

Sounds fucking scary! I could never write a novel with my mother! That would be scarier than what happens in the novel! lol

I would totally read this

I've tried to write stuff with my friend Lawrence. But he graduated with a Masters degree in screenwriting from Cal State Northridge, and he takes every idea I have and turns it into something so cliched and over the top that only Michael Bay would want to produce it.

SHADOW PEOPLE: Quickening of the Wicked...PAPERBACK version now available!!!

Congrats!!!!!

I'm currently reading 'Handling the Undead' by John Ajvide Lindqvist who also wrote Let The Right One In. This and the graphic novel The Walking Dead have been my first taste (mmm brains), so far so good!

Now I think I'm going to have to read Let the Right One In before I see the film. Dammit. I've had it in my DVD player for months!

I'm also currently querying my own high camp, horror fiction novel sWitch. I've had a few close calls with agencies, but it's not the best time to be a male fiction writer. However, the story's rocking fun, darkly hilarious, "pretty scary" and pushes a lot of buttons from a female main character's point of view so if anyone wants to give it a read, just let me know. At this point, it looks like self-pubbing may be my best bet but some betas at this stage sure wouldn't hurt.

Also, congrats to Stephens Jackson. You gotta know you're more than most when your name is plural.

Mm, coolio. I cound never write something with my mother. Our views on everything are polar opposites; save for our intensive hatredtowards my father
And kudos to anyone who can actually publish a novel and be proud.
I've written six versions of the same story and finally given up and moved into horror since I obviously can't write fantasy. I'm working on a book called Corpse now. The writting process is very slow but it's about zombies and a taming of the undead in an apocalyptic zombie-infested world so at least I'm having fun while I write it; which is probably the most important part about writting a story if you really think about it.

more important that having fun is writing a story that can sell.

I used to do that 'it's fun to write!' stuff but now I'm like DAMN YOU WHY WON'T YOU SELL??? I mean you obviously can't write something you don't enjoy, but at the same time, if you're aiming for publication (real publication, not self-publishing) then you've got to look into marketability. It's something you'll learn the longer you're in the industry.
