Portland's Wordstock Coming Very Soon

Yes, it's that time again. Portland's Wordstock is just around the corner! You can get all the information here.

ZOMBIES Will Be Having Fun at the Library Saturday

Halloween they'll be seen at the Cannon Beach Library. Fun for all ages (eight and up) will be had at the ZOMBIE FEAST...uh, I'm mean, ZOMBIE FEST, October 31, 2015 from 1 to 3 p.m.

The event opens with icebreaker games and features me (author Gregory E. Zschomler). I'll be reading from my books The Amish vs. the Zombies and Voodoo Virus. And sharing zombie poems and songs, plus giving a zombie makeup demonstration (in which I'll be using items easily found around the house).

Plus they'll be games and treats and prizes! I'll have my books available for purchase.

The Bayou Boys Adventure series (pictured at right) will be on sale as a set of three for the special Holiday Pricing of $20.>

SPECIAL FEATURE: During the makeup demonstration I'll answer frequently asked questions and answering other questions from the audience. Questions about the "writer's life," publishing, makeup, and (most importantly) "why zombies?"

News: Book's Cover Model Becomes Family Member

I am pleased to share the news that my lovely cover model for The Amish vs. the Zombies (she's portraying the Amish protagonist Hannah Strovel, not the zombie), who's real name is Anna, married my nephew, Benjamin Murray.

A bit ironic, because, two years ago (at the age of 17), when she posed for the photos (and filmed the book's trailer) we had no idea she would become family. Pretty cool!

Anna (as Hannah) can be seen at the left.

Anna Murray with her new husband, Ben.

In the book Hannah is reluctant to marry and goes on an adventure to discover who she is only to bring trouble to her community.

The real wedding was wonderful and almost was 'Amish' as it was held at a farm in rural Clark County. The reception was in an indoor horse arena. The happy couple, Anna and Ben, are shown at the right.

Congratulations Ben and Anna (BenAnna)!

Hear the author read from the book at the Cannon Beach Library's Zombie Fest, Halloween between 1 and 3 p.m.
