Welcome back to another episode of UNLEASHED, still sponsored by Permuted Press.

It’s been a while, but I’m back with a new segment called the Bedlam Book Report, hosted by Ron Earl Phillips. On his very first segment, Ron reviews The Pack: Winter Kill by Mike Oliveri .

Escape has a release date of March, 2011. Stay tuned to learn more about how you can pre-order one of a limited number of signed copies, with some special bonus content thrown in for good measure.

Seth Harwood announced that his book, Young Junius, is coming to print from Tyrus Books. We’re happy and excited for the return of PALMS SUNDAY!

NYT Bestseller Scott Sigler also has his new book, Ancestor, available for pre-order right now on Amazon.com. It’s shaping up to be a summer blockbuster in true FDO fashion.

This episodes interview is done by a special guest host. My boy, Marco Gennuso, sits down to talk with Jermaine Crawford from the HBO series, The Wire, about a project he’s involved in called CODE BLUE. We learn all about that and more in this fantastic interview that Marco was gracious enough to let me play on the show.

While the audio is still a couple of weeks away for the next episode of TZC: INVASION, I thought I’d try something a little different by dropping the PDF for episode two first.

My thanks to all those that have been patient with the new book. The first episode dropped way back on Halloween in audio and PDF form, and I know many of you have emailed me asking, “Where’s the next episode? Where’s the next episode?” With my upcoming wedding, freelance gigs and the hub-bub of the holidays, I never got a chance to get into the groove of things yet. With the new year almost upon us though, and the holidays coming to an end, that will soon be remedied and your eyes and ears will once again be able to feast on the next book in The Zombie Chronicles series on a regular basis.

So without further ado, here’s The Zombie Chronicles: Invasion – Episode Two

“The gang make their way to The Coffee Shack where David and Jenny seem to patch things up. Danny and Kate run into some trouble before one of them dies, and the Beings make their way to earth.”

Welcome back to another episode of UNLEASHED. Sponsored by Permuted Press.

I’m still in shock over the news of the death of Z.A. Recht. Zach was a great guy, a great author, and his death is just a sad, sad loss for the horror community. Words cannot express how much my heart goes out to his family, friends and fans everywhere. I met Z.A. at Horror Realm and he was such a nice, quiet guy. All class, as the saying goes. Zach, you will be sorely missed. Rest in peace.

OBITUARY

Zachary Allan Recht, 26, died on Dec. 10, 2009, at his home.

He was born Feb. 4, 1983, to Keith A. and Mary Recht of Bunker Hill.

Zachary is survived by his parents; a brother, Adam Recht, of Pittsburgh, and a sister, Alison Recht, of Bunker Hill.

Zachary was a professional writer and the author of two published books of apocalyptic fiction. He was recently recruited by Simon and Schuster.

He was also under contract with Audible Books for his books available to download for listening read by a professional actor.

Zach attended Inwood Primary School and Bunker Hill Elementary. He was a graduate of the Powhatan School in Boyce, Va. He also attended Handley High School, of Winchester, Va. Colleges attended were West Virginia University and Northern Community College. He was a unique self-educated historian.

Zachary was employed in 2007 as a staff writer at The Journal newspaper. This year he was an invited guest author to the “Horror Realm” convention in Pittsburgh, where his fans were able to meet and greet him, as well as listen to readings from his books. He also has participated in the “Poetry and Prose” Writer’s Day here in Berkeley County.

He completed boot camp in the U.S. Army at Fort Jackson, S.C., where he graduated as 1st squad leader and won the sharpshooter competition.

Services and interment will be private. A public memorial service will be held and announced at a later date. Please contact Brown Funeral Home at http://www.BrownFuneralHomesWV.com.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Z.A. Recht Scholarship-Memorial Fund, P.O. Box 193, Bunker Hill, WV 25413.

His sparkling wit and intelligence surely will be missed by his family, friends and by all of his fans.

INTERVIEW – S.G. BROWNE

Scott G. Browne is the author of Breathers, a dark comedy about life after undeath told from the perspective of a zombie.  His second novel, Fated (scheduled for release in November 2010), is a dark, irreverent comedy about fate, destiny, and the consequences of getting involved in the lives of humans. We sit down to talk about his life, his writing career, and we give away some books. Fun times!

Welcome back to another episode of UNLEASHED. Sponsored by Permuted Press.

This episode is a little late, due to the fact that I was in Pennsylvania for a few days. My apologies. It was worth the wait though, because this week I sit down and chat with David Moody.

Two new book releases in the past coupe of weeks that are worth noting. First, J.C. Hutchins released 7th Son: Descent. Pick up a copy if you haven’t already. Second, Stephen King released Under The Dome. Fans of old-school King, like myself, will not be disappointed. Pick up your copy today!

David Moody is the author of HATER, as well as the Autumn series. He began releasing his fiction online for free, and since then has had great success in the traditional publishing world. He sold the film rights for HATER without even having an agent to Guillermo del Toro, and the big screen adaptation of Autumn was recently released in the UK as well. We sit down to talk about all that and more, as David Moody joins me on this weeks episode of UNLEASHED.

Happy Halloween!

Welcome to the first episode of The Zombie Chronicles: Invasion. The second book in the trilogy.

I made an executive decision to add no intro chatter to this one, since most of you have been waiting for this story for 6 months, we’ll just get right to it.

A big thank you goes out to my long time listeners, who helped to spread the word and make Escape everything it became. We’re almost at half-a-million downloads for the first book. If you’re just joining the story, you might want to go back and play catch-up HERE. You can listen to the entire first draft of Escape and the original podcast episodes. When the book hits shelves from Pocket Books in 2010, I’ll revisit that, too. Re-recording Escape as it appears in print.

I’ll talk about all that in the second episode of INVASION, which begins December 1st on a regular podcast schedule, and when the intro chatter returns. For now though, let’s get to what we all came here for. The INVASION!

Six months after the daring escape from The Facility, David Hyde, along with Jenny, Labern, Guv, Kalomi and Victorya, is still looking for answers as the impending invasion from an alien race draws near.

After discovering that their only ally, the head of Project Mirror, seems to have an agenda all his own, the group of rag-tag rebels team up with a rogue zombie hunter to find answers to their questions and begin the fight for their lives.

But in order to survive, together they must do the impossible and fight side-by-side with the undead, and beat back the race that created them, in all out battle for the future or humanity!

With more blood, more gore, and more questions raised in the conspiracy, The Zombie Chronicles: Invasion will continue to leave you on the edge of your seat, episode after episode.

“The Zombie Chronicles is the 1984 of zombie apocalypse stories”
NY Times Bestseller of Contagious & Infected, Scott Sigler

“Melzer masterfully blends the line between sci-fi and horror. It’s raucous, gritty…and gripping.”
J.C. Hutchins, author of Personal Effects: Dark Art & 7th Son: Descent

Episode One

The gang bury some old friends and return to the streets. Caughfield shows some of his true colors, and we’re introduced to two new characters, Danny and Kate.

“The president of the United States is dead. He was murdered in the morning sunlight by a four-year-old boy.”

Thus begins the saga that is author J.C. Hutchins‘ 7th Son Trilogy. One hell of a techno-thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you fighting for air, if you ask me. AND YOU SHOULD!

First released as a serialized podcast in 2006, it has become the most popular podcast novel trilogy in history, with more than 5 million downloads. Today, October 27, 2009, the first book in the trilogy, Descent, is finally available in book stores everywhere from St. Martin’s Press.

I could go on and on about how good this series is, but I’m not going to do that. Instead, I’m going to give you the first 10 chapters of Descent as a PDF for free (BOOYA!) and let you see for yourself. You will read some of it, and no doubt rush out to buy the book so you can finish the rest. If you don’t, you may as well just bend over and kiss your ass good-bye RIGHT NOW!

This is a momentous day, folks. We’re here to celebrate not only the books release, but also the author, who for years believed that this series had potential, and took it upon himself to prove it. He was right. Of course he was right, he’s J.C. Hutchins for christsake.

So do me a personal favor, okay? Support J.C. Hutchins by heading on over to Amazon.com to buy a copy, or hit your local book store sometime today. You’ll be glad you did, and by getting your very own copy, you’re not only supporting J.C. Hutchins, but you’re supporting the entire community of podcast novelists, who work so hard to bring you the very best content we can for free.

Enjoy the free PDF of Descent, gang. Let me know what you think!

Welcome back to another episode of UNLEASHED! Proudly sponsored by Permuted Press.

This weeks book giveaway is doubly special due to the fact that I’m bringing you an interview with 16-year old filmmaker, Emily Hagins. Emily graciously donated not one but TWO copies of her film ‘Pathogen’ to give away, so we have not one but TWO winners this week.

I weigh in briefly on the subject of James Patterson signing a 17-book deal. Yeah, that’s right, SEVENTEEN BOOKS!

UNLEASHED goes on holidays once again but will return in two weeks after Horror Realm with lots of great stuff!

Emily Hagins is an independent filmmaker from Austin, Texas. At age 12 she began shooting her first film, Pathogen, making her the youngest female teenager in the United States to make a feature length movie. She’s been heavily influenced by the likes of Perter Jackson and Lord of the Rings as well as a tonne of horror and zombie flicks. She’s currently sending her second film, The Retelling, out to film festivals for consideration and she’s already begun work on her third feature, a comedy-collaboration about kids making a movie. Emily and I had a great time talking and giving away some books ad DVDs.

I’m baaaaaack!

After a two week hiatus, UNLEASHED has returned! Still sponsored by Permuted Press.

Part of my brain is still back in Pennsylvania in vacation mode, so I pretty much just talk about that. I also touch on the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of The Zombie Chronicles. THANK YOU!

I also have a great interview with Wayne Simmons, the author of Drop Dead Gorgeous and we give away a copy at the end of the show. Did you win? Ya gotta listen to find out!

Wayne Simmons is not only covered in tattoos, he’s also covered in praise for his debut novel, Drop Dead Gorgeous. It’s a different take on the zombie genre and one that is very, very refreshing. It’s an excellent story, with excellent character development, and I will go on the record and say that it is by far one of the best debut novels I have read in a long, long time. We talk about the novel, the publishing process and of course, tattoos. Wayne is a great guy and you’d do well to pick up a copy of Drop Dead Gorgeous.

This week I have some fun and break down the top 5 things I like to do to relax. Being a writer is hard work and sometimes you just gotta get away from it all and chill!

Here’s a fun game you guys can play when you just want some good old mindless zombie killing action!

This weeks interview features Derek Gunn, author of The Estuary as well as the Vampire Apocalypse Series. Derek hails from Dublin, Ireland, and he took some time out of his busy schedule to sit down and chat with me about his new book, what he’s working on now, the publishing business and together we gave away a copy of The Estuary.

There’s been some changes over the past week and perhaps the biggest one of them all is that there’s a new sponsor in town. That’s right, UNLEASHED is now proudly paying the bills with PERMUTED PRESS on board!

This week I talk about a new collaboration between myself and Jennifer Hudock know only as Twists of Fate.

I also delve into the world of writing horror, giving my brief two-cents on the subject. For a more detailed look at writing horror, check out this great resource from The Horror Writers Association, On Writing Horror.

This week’s interview features Eric S. Brown, one of the greats in the world of zombie fiction. He’s as prolific as they come with more than 10 novels and novellas under his belt as well as over 300 published short stories. WOW! We talk about his writing, his thoughts on the zombie genre as well as publishing. Check out his latest release, Season of Rot, a collection of 5 novellas.

I also talk about one of my pet peeves when it comes to writing. Adverbs! Stephen King said it best in his book, On Writing. “The road to hell is paved with adverbs.” I agree!

WARNING – THIS PODCAST CONTAINS EXTREME LANGUAGE

Welcome to another episode of UNLEASHED!

This time, I sit down and chat with author Seth Harwood. His first novel, Jack Wakes Up, hit shelves on May 5 from Three Rivers Press. That’s a division of Random House, baby! I highly recommend the book, as it is a kick ass story that I think you guys and gals will really enjoy. Even if you’re not too much into the crime fiction, like me, you’ll still digit. Trust me.

I also talk briefly about JC Hutchins and his super cool giveaway with Matt Wallace. Those two have teamed up to give away THE ACTUAL sword of blood. That is badass! Check out SwordOfBlood.com for more details.

Thanks again to Seth Harwood for taking the time to sit down and chat with me. It’s a long one, almost 60 minutes, so sit back, grab your smokes and a beer and prepare to get fucked up!

On June 17, 2009, the INVASION kicked off and so far, it’s been a fun, wild ride. Members are involved, enthusiastic and most off all…committed.

Recently, I put out the call for them to submit me videos to be used in a new INVASION PROMO and man, oh, man – did they answer!

The following is the result of my listeners support. It was a great project to work on and to everyone who appears in this video, THANK YOU! For those that have supported my work from the beginning, THANK YOU TOO!

If you haven’t joined the INVASION yet, what are you waiting for? It’s a new, innovative and creative way to get inside my head and get the inside scoop on The Zombie Chronicles: Volume 2.

She thought she could sneak one past me but the truth is, I have spies everywhere!

Recently, Mur Lafferty (author of Playing For Keeps, The Takeover and the Heaven series), went looking in places she shouldn’t have been looking. She tried to get some inside information on the INVASION and perhaps the worst sin of all – she tried to share it with YOU!

Mur quickly found out that no one, and I mean NO ONE, can stop the INVASION.

Nice try, Mur. Better luck next time.

The INVASION begins June 17, 2009 RIGHT HERE!

Special thanks to Mur Lafferty for doing this video on such short notice. She ROCKS and you should listen to and buy her stuff!

They said that was fine and Behind the Mic was born.

So, while I encourage you to head on over and read my column as well as to check out all the other great content they have, including an interview with me and Matthew Wayne Selznick, I am putting the podcast version of the column in my feed for all of you to hear.

Ok, so I’m really not sure where this footage came from, since I don’t remember any of it. It seems though, that my good buddy, Drew Beatty, the author of Lost Gods, has been INVADED!

Now, I have know idea what’s going on here. I have heard rumours, speculation, and innuendo floating around Twitter. The INVASION is related to The Zombie Chronicles, but it’s not book two. I mean, he just started to write book two, so it can’t be that!

I am honestly puzzled by all of this. I mean, yeah, there’s something huge going down here on the 17th, but where people like Drew Beatty and James Durham are getting their information is beyond me. I feel fine, contrary to what is displayed in this video, but there it is.

I guess we’ll all just have to wait until June 17 to find out exctly what the INVASION is.

Last night, I saw an interesting blog post from my boy, James Durham. James is the author of the podcast series, FETIDUS (The Foundation for the Ethical Treatment of the Innocently Damned, Undead and Supernatural). A damn fine series, if I do say so myself. Well, it seems that ol’ James Durham has been INVADED!

I’ve been confidentially told that it is NOT Volume 2 of the The Zombie Chronicles, but I can say it is “related.”

Now, I don’t know who told him this or where his info came from, but there was a video to go along with his post.

YOU can JOIN the INVASION on June 17, 2009 – RIGHT HERE!

If you look closely, there’s actually CLUES as to what The INVASION is all about! If you have a guess, call me on the BLOODLINES at 206-350-8638 and I might just be able to get you INSIDE the INVASION!

A couple of weeks ago I appeared on The Midnight Podcast for an interview with Corey Graham.

I had a blast and posted a link to it but just for the hell of it, I decided to put it in the feed in case you missed it.

It’s on Skype and the first few minutes are a little echo-y but bare with it, it gets better.

Enjoy!

EPISODE 01

We learn some of the history behind what happened when the asteroid passed by our planet and what the world is like now. Nameless reveals to Jenny what he plans to do next, after returning from his latest round of tests.

When an asteroid passes by our planet and leaves a trail of death in its wake, a quarter of the population are turned into Zombies and one man will do the unthinkable to reveal a secret that could change our world…forever!

Twenty-five years after the asteroid and with the Zombies under the control of the government, citizens are chosen to participate in Project Mirror, a cloning project in which their Mirrors are used for food to keep the undead alive. When one man discovers that there is something in his blood being used to form an army of super-Zombies, he decides to help his Mirror escape and in doing so, uncovers a secret so guarded that the powers that be will stop at nothing to eliminate him and all those that he loves.

The Zombie Chronicles is an edge of your seat thriller that will take you on an adventure beyond your wildest imagination and leave you wanting more with every episode.
