Woo-hoo!
Permuted Press, your one-stop-shop for everything post-apocalyptic, bought my debut novel, Brew, slating it (tentatively) for August, 2013, with an unabridged audio version to release simultaneously from Audible.com. I'm stoked!
In case you're curious, here's a quick pitch of Brew, followed by kind words from some of my favorite authors.
Ever been to a big college town on a football Saturday
night? Loud drunks glut the streets, swaggering about in roaring packs, laughing
and leering like sailors on shore leave. These nights crackle with a dark
energy born of incongruity; for beneath all that smiling and singing sprawls a
bedrock of malice.
Erupting from this mean soil is Brew, a novel of survival horror that unfolds in a single,
apocalyptic night, when hard-partying College Heights swaps beer pong and
karaoke for arson, rape, murder, and cannibalism. One minute, everyone's having
a blast, partying it up after another football victory; the next minute, all
those crowded bars, balconies, and house parties look like so many acres of
hell.
An embattled cast of unlikely heroes, including a
charismatic drug dealer, a disenfranchised army vet, and a smart,
tough-as-leather girl, struggles to survive, while Herbert Weston, the
brilliant sociopath who engineered the entire catastrophe, strolls the chaos,
fulfilling sadistic fantasies.
