Wanted: Zeus Is Dead Launch Team Members!

June 7, 2014 By Michael G. Munz 4 Comments

Zeus Is Dead cover

Help me get the word out and get to read the book before anyone else (except for, ya know, my publisher, and the editor, and my parents, sister, a few trusted friends)!

NOTE: The Launch Team is now full and closed. Thanks to everyone who responded!
You can still read Chapter One online, and get access to Chapter Two by subscribing to the mailing list!

As I’m sure many of you already know (and, really, how is it you could be on my blog and NOT know?), my upcoming novel — a comedic contemporary fantasy titled Zeus Is Dead: A Monstrously Inconvenient Adventure — will be released on July 21st. I am looking for people who are interested in being a part of an exclusive social marketing team dedicated to providing feedback and helping spread the word about Zeus Is Dead.  Your feedback is invaluable and I’m hoping you’re interested in joining the team.

“A hilarious mythological tale of god-like proportions. Munz has crafted a tale of bizarro comic fantasy that sits comfortably among the ilk of Gaiman and Pratchett.” —Andrew Buckley, author of Death, the Devil, and the Goldfish

Early Praise for Zeus Is Dead!

June 4, 2014 By Michael G. Munz 1 Comment

Warning: This post may contain bragging and/or excitement and/or near-insufferable pride.

The advance reviews are in! Have a look at what these published authors have to say about Zeus Is Dead: A Monstrously Inconvenient Adventure!

“Zeus Is Dead is full of laugh-out-loud moments, lashings of sly wit, moan-worthy puns, and a complex, fast-paced storyline. There aren’t very many humorous fantasy murder mysteries out there, especially not as intricately constructed as this one. Michael G. Munz takes a ’What if,’ and runs with it like a toddler with Mom’s smart phone. He evokes a pantheon of characters including, well, the actual Pantheon, plus modern characters who will ring the bell of familiarity without being trite or clichéd. Munz knows his craft as well as his Greek mythology, pop culture, and dysfunctional family dynamics. The guffaw-worthy throwaway bits (stay tuned for the battle sundae) will remind you of Douglas Adams. A very enjoyable read.”

—Jody Lynn Nye, author of View from the Imperium and co-author of the Myth Adventures of Aahz and Skeeve
