First, I admit new content here on the site has been too sparse lately. The day job – shitty, but necessary as I’m sure most of you can relate – has been sucking the life out of me, as day-jobs tend to do. Hopefully, things will settle down a bit now that some protracted work has completed and I can focus more time on this endeavor. So what’s coming up? I have a lot planned for the Zed’s World universe, and those plans are starting to take shape.
Here are some things to look forward to:
- Zed’s World, episodes 21 & 22 will be out by the end of August.
- Zed’s World: Countdown To Armageddon (Episodes 1-5, revised) will be published in e-book form, ideally also by end of August.
- The Zedprep website will be reskinned and relaunched. Date is dependent on the availability of my gracious team of web designers at 2772 Marketing.
- Work will begin in earnest on Zed’s World tie-in novels. First one will hopefully be finished by the end of 2015 and published in 1Q2016.
- Yours truly wrote a non-Zed’s World z-poc themed short story for an anthology aimed at young adults. Proceeds from the book will go to help a family in need. Included in the anthology are superstars of the genre Allen Gamboa, WJ Lundy, Brian Parker, Michael Robertson and HJ Harry, to name just a few whose work you’ve seen promoted on our Facebook page – so if supporting a good cause for a book featuring yours truly isn’t enough to get you to cough up a few coins you’ll be getting the A-Team of zpoc writers too. They’re down to the edits on the last couple of stories, have the formatting company lined up and are nearing the end of the pre-publishing work. More to come when the publication date is firmed up.
Aside from new content, is there anything you’d like to see on the site when we re-do it? Merchandise? More reviews? Let me know and I’ll try to work it in.
Until next time – better dead than zed!
