The plum....

Yes, it isn't letting up! Very visual, like a little movie playing in my head. I could only dream to aspire to writing like this! I grovel at your feet.........will you bite?

John, shoddily my ass.

Stephen, there's at least one significant change between the galley and the finished novel.  It's near the end.

Diva,  :puppet:, which is to say I do bite.  But please don't grovel--I like it when my prey tries to flee...

RE: The plum... I was hoping that wouldn't come across as corny, like most love scenes I've read.

I am reminded of plums; the shape, the pressure, the juiciness... :o

"The Word Plum" by Helen Chasin

    The word plum is delicious

    pout and push, luxury of
    self-love, and savoring murmur

    full in the mouth and falling
    like fruit

    taut skin
    pierced, bitten, provoked into
    juice, and tart flesh

    question
    and reply, lip and tongue
    of pleasure.

Everyone who pre-ordered my zombie/vampire novel Roses of Blood on Barbwire Vines was bitten.  But the zombie virus could only survive in one lucky individual, which means only one zombie could be produced.  Eric J. “feedussnacks” is that individual.

Eric will be zombified by the Roses cover artist, Stephen Blundell. He won the lottery.  So welcome, Eric!  Congrats!

Oh, and--BRAAAAAAINNNNS!!!

I just finished the book.  Really intense.  Not by anymeans a typical zombie book at all.  Very detailed and face paced.  I loved it.  I am a big vampire guy so it really peaked my interest.  Good work.

NKwulf, thanks for the comments.  Hey, if you're a customer of Amazon.com, would you consider writing a brief review for the book there?

I held a book signing last Saturday and sold 21 copies of Roses of Blood.  Not too shabby.  Here are some of the techniques I used to help sell books.

Considering that's 10% of what some small press books sell in their lifetime it's pretty darn good.
