Independent Publishing up for discussion on the Dinner Party Show
Starring me! And Justin Simpson, and Michael Varrati, Buffie Peterson, Ran Valerhon and some other people… but mostly me. ME ME ME! DANG IT!
As a part a special edition of The Dinner Party Show where hosts Eric Shaw Quinn and Christopher Rice will be highlighting the questions, interests and lives of their regular and loyal listeners – this blogger included – the two prominent authors will be discussing self-publishing with the viewers.
From the Dinner Party Show Facebook page:
This should prove a fascinating discussion. Eric published his novel SAY UNCLE as an e-book entirely on his own, and Christopher is in the process of doing the same with A DENSITY OF SOULS, now that he has the rights back. I’m sure they’d love to discuss the ins and outs of this side of the business.
This discussion was prompted by a question by Justin Simpson, who just finished writing his first novel manuscript back in January. What are the challenges and benefits of self-publishing? Tune in Sunday, March 31, 2013 at 5pm Pacific Time to join the discussion.

It is said that the Wolf may howl at the Moon, but the Moon never howls at the Wolf. In the gritty urban streets of Los Angeles in 1975, Leticia Gordon is forced to come to terms with many things: the tragic death of her stepmother and baby sister in a car accident, fear she’ll wind up in foster care, and the sudden revelation she belongs to a long line of powerful witches known as Luna – who exhibit first power upon reaching womanhood. Running from foes natural and supernatural, will her new found powers be the turning point that elevates her position of honor, or will it destroy her like the dark forces that consumed her father? In a world turned upside down where time itself seems in flux, in whom can she trust?

“I hate the dead. They have no self-control” – Sera. She is ghula – one of the extremely long-lived though not immortal flesh eaters whose lives can end in only one way – in resurrection as a hungry, ambulatory corpse who will spend the short days of its unlife rotting, eating, and infecting as many as possible. Sera compares her life to a dark comedy – trapped with an unwanted pregnancy for the past 600 years, constantly afraid that the fetus will die and go zombie in-utero, always cold and constantly running a fever like every other ghoul on the planet. Luckily, two things in life sustain her: her joy in hunting and destroying the Dead, and the constant seeking of comfort in warmth.
This book also shows that Sumiko has a great grasp on many global cultures, predicting in intensely realistic detail every country’s reaction to an outbreak. This book is as much about the world’s economic breakdown as it is blood & guts. It reminds us the importance of surpassing petty differences & coming together as one. Whether you’re a zombie freak or not, this book gives you something to think about.
