Have you voted yet for the April New Author Mini-Challenge? It’s going to be a battle royale, yet I have no clue who will be competing yet. That’s up to you. So far, it looks like it could be the Deadline Dames against Fangs, Fur & Fey. Although, The Biting Edge, Femme Fatales and Something Wicked are not that far behind.

Well, it’s not just the classic literature that are getting zombified. Io9 reports that Quirk Books is now adding classic television to their revamping publishing. Night of the Living Trekkies by Kevin David Anderson is a new story telling the tale of what would happen if an undead horde of zombies were to suddenly attack a Star Trek Fanboy convention.
