I'm sorry to see the last episode of Discovered Country up here-- I've had a great time being part of the Library! Thanks so much for including me, Dr. Pus!

Thank you so much for asking! I'm actually revising a screenplay called "Zombies in Love", which I'd be happy to pass along to anyone who'd like to see it, especially if they think they'd like to film it. That screenplay was based on "A More Real Life," which is available at "More Sonic Fiction" on the Podiobooks site, but the screenplay's very different.

If you want to read something I wrote without any zombies, Drollerie Press will soon publish my merman romance novel. Unfortunately, no one gets eaten.

Aww, thanks! You made my day!

Hi, gang--

I saw this listed on an academic site. I bet they'd love to hear from zombie-loving essayists! Email the listed people if you're interested...

"We are seeking proposals for an interdisciplinary edited volume discussing the zombie from a wide variety of perspectives and within a wide range of contexts. We encourage submissions from any discipline, including but not limited to English literature, film studies, media studies, cultural studies, gender studies, queer studies, philosophy, religious studies, anthropology, sociology, history, psychology, economics, and political science. We especially welcome new approaches to the study of zombies. In addition to theoretical essays on zombies, we also welcome critical discussions of specific zombie films, novels, and graphic novels, including those both pre- and post-Romero.

Proposals should be between 200 and 300 words. Authors are asked to include brief biographical details along with their submissions, including name and academic affiliation. Please submit proposals either electronically or by regular mail. Deadline for submissions is October 31st, 2008.

Aww, thanks, Fred & Dr. Pus! I'm blushing...

Awww, thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And if you liked Discovered Country, there's a short prequel available on another Podiobooks.com recording, More Sonic Fiction... it's called "A More Real Life."
