First Book Sold! Help me sell 1,000!

by Hunter S Zombie
My first breakthrough novel, Prophecy on High, just sold its first copy on Kindle.

Being sold exclusively in the Kindle marketplace, this novel is a haunting and dark tale, filled with artwork by artists, Delfin Diaz and Mary Edwards.

Let me tell you a little bit about this book:
----
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith became a best-seller, as didThe Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z by Max Brooks.  You may have read books about zombies, but you’ve never read one written by a zombie.

Hunter S. Zombie, the undead persona, brings forth his dark and thrilling tale about a recovering addict that becomes targeted by two vicious gangs.

Based on a number of interviews done for a news article about methamphetamine addicts, Hunter S. Zombie scraped the article and compiled the stories into a novel he calls, Prophecy on High.  The first in a series of books entitled, The Haze Heaven Chronicles.

The story follows Joseph Marten, a lost soul that escapes into the euphoric city known as Haze Heaven and finds himself at the bottom of it.  Burrowed into the shadows of the city’s decrepit east side, Joseph tries to claw his way out of the city and discovers a young woman, Rosa Sanchez, whose heading in the same direction.

But in just four days, Joseph will find himself half-alive, imprisoned and standing over the murdered corpse of his best friend.

Looming with haunting illustrations by artists Delfin Diaz and Mary Edwards, Prophecy on High is a thrilling tale that disturbs the darkest depths of the human mind and brings it to life.
-----
I put a lot of blood, sweat and busted fingers to make this book possible and this zombie is happy with his work.

In all honesty, it's a cool book with a lot of great art, think Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and while I search for a publisher to work on releasing a printed version, all you internet folks and smartphone holders can see the novel as it was meant to be seen.

My goal is to sell 1,000 copies and I need you to make that happen.

Stop by and download your copy today! You'll be glad you did!

Thanks for reading.

Art Appreciation

I've always enjoyed works of Art whether they be in paint, print, or on the television screen.  It doesn't matter who did the work, just as long as it captures your attention and evokes some sense of feeling.

There have been a lot pieces of artwork that can be found online, as well as anything else, and it wasn't too long ago that I friend of mine, artist Delfin Diaz who did some artwork for my first book, Prophecy On High, which I am trying to make available on Amazon.com.

Delfin just recently finished a piece, inspired by this UnDead Writer and I simply had to share it.


Hunter S. Zombie the Cartoon

What a fun piece.  Reminds me of the old Bloom County comic strip, which later became Outland, penned by talented artist Berkeley Breathed.

Honestly, I'd like to make a whole series of comics just based of these drawings alone.  That's how much Delfin Diaz has inspired me.

I hope you all find artwork that inspires you in the crazy world we live in.  Who knows? Maybe your work will inspire the next great artist which will continue to evoke others to create.  As much as you humans live separately, each action you commit has some effect on those around you, especially online where millions have access to it.

My only encouragement for you all is to inspire amazement and not tragedy.  Sometimes a little bit of hope can be found in the simplest things.  Even if you've written a book where zombies tear apart the world, that book may inspire the next great filmmaker to make a film where people put aside their differences and ban together for the common good.

...which most zombies books tend to do, but STILL.

Enjoy Art, my human friends as it is everywhere and tends to go unappreciated.
