So my friend Mark Henry has a new book out. Landing today, available at bookstores everywhere, Battle of the Network Zombies is fresh and spanky for your reading pleasure!

Here, from the flap copy:

In Seattle’s undead circles, Amanda Feral is one of the beautiful zombies. Of course, when you’re socializing with werewolves, devils, and rampaging yetis, there’s not that much competition. Still, Amanda has a stylish rep to maintain, which is getting tricky now that her tanking ad agency is obliterating her finances. The fastest way to make some cash: appear on a new reality show, American Minions, hosted by lecherous wood nymph Johnny Birch. Classy? Maybe not, but a girl’s gotta eat.”

With zombie gal pal Wendy posing as her bitchy agent, Amanda settles in to “Minions Mansion,” crowded with 24-7 video cameras and undead fame whores. When Johnny is found incinerated in a locked room, Amanda decides to channel her inner Miss Marple (minus the fugly cardigans) and find out who’s responsible. Was it Hairy Sue, the white trash stripper yeti? Tanesha, the glamorous trannie werewolf? Angie, the Filipino vampire with a detachable head? Unveiling the culprit in a heart-stopping finale won’t just save the show from cancellation, it might just keep Amanda alive — or as close as a ghoul can get…

If you haven’t yet picked up any of Mark’s stuff, then please allow me to HIGHLY RECOMMEND it. He’s filthy and funny — definitely for adults, if you know what I’m sayin’ — but if you ARE an adult and you’re in the market to laugh your frickin’ ass off, this is a damn fine place to start.

Don’t forget — just like you can order my books signed and personalized from the University Book Store, likewise you can order Mark’s in the same fashion. You can also get it from amazon.com, Powell’s, Barnes & Noble, and just about anywhere else. So go on. GET CRACKIN’.
