Zeus Is Undead: Cover Reveal!

Announcing the official cover for Zeus Is Undead: This One Has Zombies!

Isn’t it great?! Click to embiggen!

Thanks to designer Greg Simanson for his hard work in making the cover for the sequel look just as great as the original! Yes, expect to see a razorwing or two in the book. Yes, those are fuzzy handcuffs. As for why the cuffs, the bread, the beer, and the glowing trapezohedronal-whatzit are there at all, well, you’ll just have to read the book to find out.

The official release date is still squirming around in an obstinate refusal to be pinned down, but I’ll have an actual date for you soon, I promise! Watch this space for updates!

Zeus Is Dead Sequel: Title Reveal!

November 21, 2018 By Michael G. Munz Leave a Comment

There hasn’t been much activity here on the blog lately. It’s taken a back seat to finishing the Zeus Is Dead sequel so I can get that sucker out to you all just as soon as possible. (It’s my most successful book! It’s been recently published in audio book format! It’s been optioned for possible movie/TV adaptation! Why haven’t I gotten a sequel out yet?!)

I’m pleased to say now that I sent the manuscript to my editor a few days ago. I now await its return, all marked up and noted so that I can finish the polishing stage and head on toward release. A designer is working on the cover as I type this. So it’s about time to announce the official title, isn’t it? Sure, you already know the “Zeus Is Undead” part, but what about the rest? Well, hold onto your butts, because here it comes, without further ado, yammering, or blathering on my part. The Zeus Is Dead sequel shall be called…

Zeus Is Undead: This One Has Zombies

Isn’t that a great title?

The cover reveal is coming soon! Keep watching the blog, follow me on Twitter and Facebook, or subscribe to see it first!

Zeus Is Dead: Audiobook Release!

August 28, 2018 By Michael G. Munz Leave a Comment

At long last, Zeus Is Dead: A Monstrously Inconvenient Adventure is available as an audiobook today!

Almost since the day the book came out, people have asked me “Can I get it in audibook?” I always had to say “No,” or “Not yet, but I’m looking into it,” or “How did you get in my pantry?” Today, thanks to publisher Tantor Media (an imprint of RBMedia, currently the largest independent publisher of audiobooks) I can finally say, “YES!” (And “Get out of my pantry!”)

The Zeus Is Dead audiobook is read by Travis Baldree. A veteran audiobook narrator, not only has Baldree narrated audiobooks by authors such as Kevin J. Anderson and Matt Coyle, but he’s also a winner of the Audiofile Earphones Award! Audiofile awards this to “truly exceptional titles that excel in narrative voice and style, characterizations, suitability to audio, and enhancement of the text.” (He also founded video game companies Runic Games and Double Damage, and made Torchlight and Rebel Galaxy, so he’s got geek-cred up the wazoo.)

Right now you can grab the audiobook on Amazon Audible, iTunes, Audiobooks.com, Kobo, and on Tantor’s website. Audio samples are available on each site. Already got the ebook through Kindle? Audible gives you a discount! Check it out! 😀

The razorwing isn’t white! OOOooohh! WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

I may be biased, but I think you should get this audiobook just as soon as humanly possible.

Get ready for the Zeus Is Dead audiobook!

Finally, when someone asks if there will be an audiobook, I can give a definitive “Yes!” instead of pointing behind them and then running away when they look over their shoulder.

If you’ve been following me on social media (and if you’re not, then how the heck did you get here?), you might have caught the initial announcement a couple of weeks ago: the audiobook rights to Zeus Is Dead: A Monstrously Inconvenient Adventure have been acquired by Tantor Media. Even as I type this, they’re working on it for a late summer 2018 release! [Read more…]
