Appearances

Last week I had the pleasure of joining Ben Jackendoff and Alexis Diana on their infectiously geeky show ComiCast.  I always think of my love for science-fiction as being born in the basement, so this simple, informal environment put me in a great frame of mind.  If any of you were wondering about my science-fiction roots, or how I came to write The Brain Eater’s Bible, you might enjoy this interview; I am introduced at about the 17-minute mark.  Thanks Ben and Alexis, and best of luck with the show!   Watch live video from trigglatv on Justin.tv

My book, The Brain Eater’s Bible, is also a stage show – a scientific PowerPoint presentation on the dangers posed by a zombie pandemic.  I give the talk at colleges and science-fiction conventions, and had a great time at the NACA West conference this weekend, meeting with students to warn them about the PACE virus apocalypse.  For those of you who are beginning writer/creators, I would highly recommend this kind of direct interaction with potential readers, especially those outside of your own social circle.  You’ll get invaluable face-to-face insight into how your work will resonate with fans.
