I thought yesterday's comment about zombies would get your attention. Here's the scoop:A member of our Raintree Writers critique group, Brian Kaufman, has just released his new novel, Dead Beyond the Fence: A Novel of the Zombie Apocalypse. That's Brian over there on the left.
The cover photo on the right is a picture of the Raintree Writers at one of our critique group meetings. I think they were dissecting my submission the night this was taken.
Okay, just kidding.
I never thought much about zombies before Brian joined our critique group. You can bet they're on my mind now.
Brian's launch party and zombie event was last night. I did not dress up like a zombie, nor did I let the makeup artists apply zombie goop to my face. I claimed that I never wear makeup because it makes my sensitive skin itch, and they believed me.
There were quite a few creepy characters present. Two of the best dressed are in the photo on the left . It's a wonder I didn't have nightmares. This fellow on the right is also in my critique group. We'll call him the smiling zombie. On the other hand, I could also call him Zombie Ken.Brian's new blog is Food, Politics and Zombies.

Makeup or no, zombie Ken looks like a friendly guy. You just can't hide a grin...
A grinning Zombie; that's wrong on so many levels.
I know. It's bizarre.
This was a fun event--I felt a little out of place not being in zombie makeup! Next time. Way to go, Brian!
So much fun!! I think I'd avoid the makeup too (really am allergic to most play makeup) - but it looks like a great time!!
Who's art department came up with the cover? I thought it was great. Anyone of them looks like me in the morning without coffee.
If that's Zombie Ken, where's Zombie Barbie?
Kay -- I think the artist for that cover is freelance. I'll have to ask Brian more about that. Wouldn't you love to have that painting hanging on your bedroom wall?
Donna -- I thought no one was going to ask that question. :)
OMG! OMG! OMG!
Very clever....sensitive skin excuse. Must remember that if I ever go to a zombie launch.
The art is very good in a disturbing sort of way.
If you got a thang for zombies and also love humor blogs, you should check a blogger buddy of mine, at The Quirky Loon Blog.
Okay, I'll check out food, politics and zombies. Any blog with a title like that has GOT to be interesting!

I think Marvin just accused me of having a sense of humor. Humph!
