Okay, I'm a bad brother. It's been ages since I've stopped by Zombie Zero, online home of my elder sibling. Then again, it was still 2008 when I last updated my own blog. Man, life runs away from you sometimes.
Anyway, I stopped by today and saw the cover art for James' upcoming book, to be published (soon, I think) by ROC under the title "State of Decay." I'm not exactly sure when it will hit stands, which is why I stopped by, but it's worth watching for: I read an early draft and it's fantastic. It has a taste that's a bit like Blade Runner, and a bit like brains. And probably chicken, since everything does. No zombie chickens (you can't have everything), but there are walking dead types called Revivors, and that should be good enough to support a new author. The sci-fi- genre needs new talent, so remember: if you don't buy my brother's book it makes you a communist. So there.
I'll post a review after I read the official published version.
PS - this is the first post that I was able to tag as both 'reading' and 'writing' ... neat.
