The Next Big Wave

Are you ready for the new wave of works by me? 

I'm not. LOL 

In fact, I don't know about you, but I'm taking a vacation. You might say I just came off of one. Well, sure I had some fun and good times in NYC, but I was there for promotional reasons. It's time for a California/Disneyland Vacation to recharge the creative batteries. Then it's back to work.

Here's my rough schedule for the next eighteen months:

• My goal for September is to finish the screenplay of The Amish vs. the Zombies.
• In October I'll be finishing up Plays and Sketches for Schools and Churches which will be out November 2015.
• I'll be writing To Hell and Back (my first full-length adult novel) in November and December. It's due out February 2016.
• Ruth and I hope to publish Chicken Poop on My Sole in April 2016. We are the editors for the anthology and are currently gathering short stories.*
• I hope to put out Big Papa Zee’s Tex Mex & BBQ Cookbook in June 2016. I'm working on recipes now.
• Over next summer I plan to work on Alien Ambush (a Bayou Boys Adventure #4) and have it out in September 2016.

That's the plan, anyway.

*We're looking for true and funny short stories about country living or life on the farm. 300-1,500 words. They can be touching or poignant, but should have a thread of humor. Authors will be credited with a promotional bio. Drop me a line at gregory.zschomler@gmail.com for all the info.

Back from NYC, on to Bob's in Lincoln City, Ore.

I hope you followed my NYC Exploits on Instagram. 

Yes, I got behind due to "technical difficulties" and a PACKED schedule, but I'll have more NYC posts and an update soon.

However, I wanted to get this post made as the event is this weekend! Yikes!

And yes, I will be at Bob's Beach Books in Lincoln City, Ore. this Saturday, August 15 along with several other west coast authors.

Meet authors and pick up some great books.

This is a BIG author signing event and you won't want to miss it. The weather is supposed to be
fantastic.

The event runs from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. Bob's is right on the ocean side of Hwy 101 in Lincoln City. Look for all the canopies.

Notes:

I'll  be there signing all my books, but especially my best-seller Louie, the lonely Lighthouse.

In addition, my Bayou Boys Adventure books and my book The Amish vs. the Zombies will be at the PDX ComicCon September 19 and 20, and I plan to be signing at the Coos Bay Historical and Maritime Museum October 10. More details to come.

In just a few short days (Aug. 6) I'll be jetting off for a bite of the Big Apple and you will be able to follow my exploits through Instagram. Maybe you're asking yourself, "so what?" Okay, let me 'splain why it might be worth your time.

The National Lighthouse Museum, Staten Is., NY

I can't think of anything.

Just kidding. They say it's "the city that never sleeps" and I may not sleep either. I'll be busy cramming all I can into five days. Sure, I'll be signing books and talking about my new book Louie, the Lonely Lighthouse at the National Lighthouse Museum on Staten Island for National Lighthouse Day (Aug. 8), but I'll be having some touristy fun, too.

AND I'll be posting pics from my adventures in Times Square and the Theater District, The NYC Disney Store (of course), Park Avenue and Central Park. I'll share photos from downtown, uptown, and China Town. And they'll be plenty of pictures of the NY harbor cruise (including Lady Liberty), plus Tom's Restaurant from Seinfeld, a walk along the High Line (a park trail made from the old elevated train tracks), Battery Park and the 911 Twin Towers Memorial, and so much more.

I'll also be sharing my dining experiences in images, too--anything and everything from a Coney Dog to a Jewish Deli delight; NY-style pizza or whatever. Nothing fancy though. I'll show you how to do NYC on the cheap.

Who knows what surprises await us? Just know that you're invited along to share the journey vicariously through the magic of the internet.
