Making More Headway on the Zombie Novel

I just passed 46,000 words. The scenes are a little more tense with the character interaction. The Zs are a little different than my other two zombie books. Did you know they can be useful? How so? Slaves, entertainment, security, defense, companionship, experimentation, whatever else? You'll see.

Meanwhile, on the painting front, I'm experimenting with kind of a 3D illusionary painting. Enough said. I'm trying to do a timelapse of it, but at times I have to lift the canvas (it's really an illustration board) and do the detail.  Oh well...

Posting My Two Latest Paintings

This makes 11 for the winter season thus far, about one a week. They're both landscapes, although the black and white one is more like a fantasy scene. I had something a little different in mind, although my idea changed when the painting started on the canvas. The second scene is from a path through the woods at my golf course from the tenth green to the eleventh tee.

New Painting - Treeline

This was fun. I've finished the painting, pretty much. I'll post a final picture of it on the column to the right soon. This was one where I had the idea in my head and was able to execute it in a short period. Some of the others I've finished this winter have been a struggle. That's despite being satisfied with the final result.

Anyway, here is a time-lapse video which captures most of the painting's development. It starts off with the background lighting already completed.

New Untitled Zombie Book Now at 40,000 words

Getting there...Zombies with unZombie-like traits. A villain that could be a hero. A sister who hates her brother. A brother who says he doesn't give a fat fig about what people think. We have an apocalyptic finish.

The New Untitled Zombie Book

I've been writing a little more regularly now on the new Zombie book. It's at 39,000+ words now and I'm rolling along in the middle of apocalyptic violence. There's a hero that's easy to hate. He may have a redeeming feature that the other characters don't see at the moment.

The Book Trailer for Flatline Virus. - Watch!

Here's the book trailer video for Flatline Virus...only the second time I've posted it since I published the book in 2011. Only 44 seconds.
