A Very Special Message Regarding Permuted Press & Pocket Books

As most of you know by now my first novel, Escape: A Zombie Chronicles Novel, will be coming to print in 2010 from Pocket Books, a division of Simon and Schuster. This happened because of a seven book deal that was struck between Pocket Books and Permuted Press (my novels original published) that will see the two companies join forces to bring you some of the best zombie fiction you’ve ever read.

This October, the first book in the Permuted Press/Pocket Books co-publishing venture will be released. Called ‘Day By Day Armageddon,’ this novel was written by J.L. Bourne and has easily become the biggest selling title from the Permuted Press roster, selling over 25,000 copies, which is damn good for a small press like Permuted to have accomplished.

The book has been revamped with a new cover that’s slick, shiny and captures the spirit of the original. What’s best is that none of the content inside has changed. It’s still the same gritty, nail biting zombie story that fans have loved and that’s waiting for new fans to discover it.

I’m telling you all this because I have a mission for you. It’s an important one and it will go a long way towards helping not only other books from Permuted Press authors potentially get picked up by Pocket Books, but it will also go toward showing Big Publishing that they did the right thing by taking a chance on all us small press dudes and maybe, just maybe, it will also help them pick up books two and three of my Zombie Chronicles trilogy. You ready? Here’s what I want you to do…

By showing your support for this book, you are showing your support not only for Permuted Press and J.L. Bourne, but you are showing your support for me and my Zombie Chronicles trilogy. The better all these books do, the more of a splash we make and the more of a splash we make, the better our chances are of even bigger things happening down the road.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not asking you to pre-order blind. I’ve read Day By Day Armageddon many times myself. It really is one of the best zombie books I’ve ever read and I know that all of you will enjoy it. Trust me when I say this, okay?
