ZombieFest 2011

When:  TOMORROW.  Yes, tomorrow -- Saturday, June 11th.
Where:  The Phoenix, Arizona Barnes and Noble Bookstore where Bill and Ed's Excellent Adventure was filmed.
Why:  Because Yvonne will be signing not only HIGHBORN, but CONCRETE SAVIOR.  Yes, it's out and available, and it's time to get your copy!

Added Bonus:  Yvonne's husband, author Weston Ochse, will also be there, signing his zombie novel, Empire of Salt. 

Pulsing Intensity...

CONCRETE SAVIOR is now available!  If you check it out on Amazon here, not only can you get it in either paperback or Kindle format, you can read the first ever Amazon review!

Teaser: "Highly charged and darkly emotional, this is a book that will make you think even as it sucks you into its pulsing intensity."

Phoenix ComiCon 2011

Come meet Yvonne Navarro this weekend at the Phoenix ComiCon.  Here's her schedule-- she's on six great panels, plus she will be at Table #634 in between those times with books and other items.  Please stop by and say hi, get an autograph, keep her amused.

Rumor has it -- and it might be more than rumor -- that a few copies of CONCRETE SAVIOR might even be available.

Oh, and just in honor of ComiCon itself, she has posted a brand new zombie painting on her Facebook page.  She's titled "Pretty."

They Always Come Back...

After all this time, my first novel, AfterAge, is now available again from Crossroad Press. You can pick it up in Kindle format on Amazon, and there are other formats available here on the Crossroad site. AfterAge was a finalist for the Bram Stoker Award for Best First Novel and had some great reviews (although most have, sadly, disappeared from Amazon). There's a big ol' excerpt right here, which links to yet another excerpt, so you can try out a nice chunk first to see if you like it. :o)

Oh-So-Sweet Review...

If you haven't picked up a copy of HIGHBORN yet, what are you waiting for? Another opinion? Okay-- here's one over at The Deepening.

Fun with Outlining... or Not!

Why do authors outline? The answer involves rusty screwdrivers and our teeth. Check out my explanation today at FreshFiction.com.

Wayward Camera!

Great time at The Poisoned Pen on Saturday with The Husband (Weston Ochse) and Jennifer Ashley. If, however, you happen to spot a fleeing black Sony camera (in a case with two extra batteries), grab that sucker and let us know. Our camera got away from us, and we'd sure love to get it back. You'll recognize it by the silly Great Dane videos and sillier author photos!

HIGHBORN Signing on Saturday!

Yes, it's another one! This time at The Poisoned Pen in Phoenix, Arizona. So be there at 2:00 p.m. to say "What's up, Von?"
