Zombiepalooza Giveaway Reminder

Just a reminder. Tomorrow, will be my guest post over at Zombiepalooza. I'm posting a story story from my newest novel, Super Zombie Juice Mega Bomb (SZJMB) and a free copy of House of the Dead III. Stop by to check it out and enter.

Speaking of SZJMB. I'm (finally) just about ready to start sending out query letters. I'll post my query sometime next week. Also, I'm planning on posting a special short story just before Halloween from my new shorts collection Monster Mashup. It's a collection of 9 spooky short stories, just right for Halloween.

BTW: The contest link is active now!

Mentorship Opportunity from The Bookshelf Muse

I spend a lot of time on forums. One of the things I've noticed is that new writers are always looking for mentors. While established writers pretty much all seem to be very generous with their time (I've received tons of help from others), no one has the time to focus on mentoring one individual.

If you are looking for an established author to mentor you, check out this great contest at The Bookshelf Muse.  Angela Ackerman writes both YA and MG. If you write in those genres check the contest out.

Did I mention she's into Zombies?
