    *sigh* It’s like going to the zoo and finding the pengiun exhibit is closed for cleaning.

    You got that right. I’m not sure why I’m here, since I know there’s a long wait… just couldn’t wait, I guess.

    To steal the line from Dawn of the Dead, “…this was an important place in their lives…”

    I like these novels, but is it just me or the characters seem a bit unrealistic?

    Zombies eating people seem pretty unrealistic too. It is in blog form so we arent going to get a novel’s worth. I do like the characters though. Just wish he would write a whole book about this so his talent could be out there.

    Haha, I love those weird posts above, about celebrex and poker. Lets see…April 24th, May 23rd…roughly one month left. Exactly 4 weeks and 1 day.

    I’m kinda surprised that no one has pointed out the snafu on this page.

    I loved Monster Nation and Monster Island – I printed them out for my brother to read and he loved it too – thanks for giving me something to do at work!!!!! When is the next book in the trilogy coming out?? I can’t wait!

    Michelle: Thanks for the kind words. It’ll be out on May 23rd. I have jury duty on May 24th, but there’s no connection between the two.
    Digbeta: Nice catch, I’ll fix it right away.
