This weekend is going to be a fun little get together of authors in Seatle, WA. Three published zombie authors are getting together to talk about writing about the living dead. It’s going to be Thorn Carnell, Eloise Knapp, and a good friend of ours Timothy W. Long. Hell it’d be worth attending just to check out the madness or Mr. Long but the entire theme this time around is for zombies so any of our readers would probably be intereste din checking it out!

She is also the editor-in-chief of Z Magazine (www.thezombiemag.com), the first magazine written by zombies for zombies. Knapp’s love for zombies doesn’t stop at writing stories. She also enjoys zombie photography, reading and reviewing zindie (zombie + indie) books, and philosophical zombie discussions. With her collection of weaponry, Blackhawk tactical gear, and a thirst for all things survival, she awaits the zombocalypse eagerly. Knapp currently resides in Washington state where her novel is based, working on a degree in graphic design at Seattle University. You can find out more about her at www.eloisejknapp.com.
Timothy W. Long has been writing stories since he could hold a crayon and has also read enough books to choke a land fill. He has a fascination with all things zombie, and a deep seeded need to jot words on paper and thrust them at people. Tim is the author of the zombie novels Among the Living and Beyond the Barriers, both from Permuted Press. His zombedy novel The Zombie Wilson Diaries was named one of the best zombie novels of the year by Barnes and Nobel. Tim also co-authored the bizarro novel Wacktards of the Apocalypse with Sir Jonathan Moon, which has become the preferred version of the end of the world by rapture survivors everywhere. 2012 will see sequels to both Among the Living and Beyond the Barriers.
“Book Date” is sponsored by Cafe Mox and Crypticon Seattle.
