Zeus Is Undead is an award-winner!

October 14, 2019 By Michael G. Munz Leave a Comment

I’m pleased to announce that Zeus Is Undead: This One Has Zombies, has followed in the footsteps of its predecessor in becoming an award-winning book!

Yesterday, Zeus Is Undead was named the Outstanding Winner for Humor/Comedy/Satire in the 2019 Independent Author Network Book of the Year Awards, and placed as a Finalist for Fantasy as well!

On top of that, the 2019 Readers’ Favorite Book Awards gave Zeus Is Undead their Gold Medal for Mythology!

So it seems other people enjoy the idea of Greek gods fighting zombies in the modern world almost as much as I do. If you haven’t grabbed it already, Zeus Is Undead is now available on Amazon, Kobo, Nook, and iTunes.

It’s ALIIIVE! Er, wait, no.
It’s UNDEAAADD!

It’s here! My latest comedic fantasy, Zeus Is Undead: This One Has Zombies is published and available today! It’s taken me far longer than I would have liked to get this book out there, but I’m pleased it’s finally ready for you. It’s definitely something I can be proud of.

But just in case any of you are new here, perhaps I ought to answer the question of just what, exactly, is Zeus Is Undead?

I’m glad you asked, hypothetical person!

Zeus Is Undead: Cover Reveal!

December 27, 2018 By Michael G. Munz Leave a Comment

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!

Random Zeus Is Dead 2 Quotes

June 3, 2017 By Michael G. Munz Leave a Comment

So while I continue chipping away at the sequel to Zeus Is Dead (working title, Zeus Is Undead), I figured it’d be fun to share with you some completely random, out of context dialogue from the rough draft as it currently stands. Why random and out of context? Because it’s more fun that way! (Plus it’s possible that watching the new Twin Peaks is nudging my mind in random, out of context directions…)

Enjoy, and puzzle over what the heck these quotes mean!

“Why ever are you going down to Earth? You’ll have to walk!”

“Their governments are paralyzed by zombie deniers and petty deadlocks.”

“YOU WILL ENJOY THE BARBECUE AS FATHER ZEUS ORDAINS!”

“Melpomene and Thalia. They claim it is a ‘sequel thing.'”

“Do you wish me to smite she who brought the corrupted potato salad?”

“I just adore when death rhymes!”

“The fonts are amazing!”

“What in Medusa’s buttcrack are you?”

“You know how Alecto is. There’s really not much difference except now she smells a little funny.”

“You try being funny after dealing with Nyx!“

“Leavenworth is an Oktoberfest town. We need Oktoberfest dollars. Now, if the people can’t drink here, they’ll be glad to drink at the festivals of Chelan, Hanford, Long Island…”

“Eris was NOT a member of Guns and Roses!”

“Oh, come on! Finish the brains you have!”

“Some mortals have eaten zombie meat.”

“You dare contradict the wisdom of the great Brandt Sledgeman!”

“Do you do things like this because nobody likes you, or does nobody like you because you do things like this?”

“Malevolence would be if that thing started playing disco.”

ANTICIPATED IN EARLY 2018!

From the Zeus Is Dead sequel…

As I’m currently out writing Zeus Is Dead 2 (not the official title) and I’m both easily distracted and eager to share, have a glimpse of a tiny section from the first draft of the book. Will it make it into the final draft? Will it be edited? Will I decide the blatant Walking Dead reference is too much? Who knows!
