Writing

I know I am meant to be working on my novel BUT... I ended up starting a publishing business called Triskaideka Books, with a focus on horror and SF and cross over of these genres and sometimes Fantasy. I have a team of three:

Me: publisher / editor / layout

Karen: editor, proof reader

Robert: editor

Our website: http://beam.to/TriskaidekaBooks

The other reason I haven't been working on my novel is another short story demanded to be told. A zombie one, been writing a few zombie stories recently. There's an anthology called Zombidays, and it is a tale revolving around a special/public holiday. I chose Waitangi Day (it was one of the options). I think I started it because NZ got a mention. It was a challenge to build this story, the idea that sparked it was a one second flash image in my head of a little girl, a dog, and a bone with grey mottled skin stuck to it. I knew that was the catalyst of the story and worked my way backward. And I got right into it. I totally love this fucking story. We focus mainly on one central character and...well, I won't say no more because if it gets picked up then I'd love you y'all to head out and buy a copy.
