I’m gearing up for National Novel Writing Month where I’ll be writing a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. You can find more about the “contest” here: http:\/\/nanowrimo.org<\/p>\n

\"Zombies<\/a>My book is called “Zombies Ate My Poodle” and it’s aimed at the 10-12 year old crowd. If you have kids that age who’d like to be “beta readers” sign them up here:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/ZombiesAteMyPoodle.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ll be releasing at least the first several chapters to the people on that list.<\/p>\n

After the book is done I’ll be creating a video game from the story (for iPad, iPhone, iPod touch).<\/p>\n

Here’s a synopsis of the book:<\/p>\n

Zak is a typical 12-year old homeschooled kid who does street performing with his Mom and Dad.<\/p>\n

One night he wakes up to find his parents missing and the empty skull of Jeffrey, the family poodle, on the kitchen table. Zombies have eaten his poodle’s brains and taken his parents for a snack later!<\/p>\n

Now Zak must gather his weapons (juggling knives and torches, a bullwhip, etc.) and set off on his unicycle to find the zombies before the brains of his parents are eaten.<\/p>\n

While battling the zombie army Zak discovers his parents are now the King and Queen of the zombies — it’s too late!<\/p>\n

Isn’t it?<\/p>\n

Not while Zak still has a breath in his body and a brain in his skull, it’s not!<\/p>\n
