Click my noggin to go to Upgrade Your Story and hear why I said, “I’m sorry I killed that guy.”
Um, no. Guess again. …No. No, that’s completely not correct. (And, also, eww.)
Okay, guessing time is over. Tomorrow (also known as Saturday, October 11th) at 7pm PST, I’ve got the pleasure of being this month’s featured guest on Geek Bomb’s Geeks Unleashed Book Club!
So this week I had my second ever podcast interview. (Click here if you missed the first one.) This time I got to hang out with John Adams, who runs the Super Awesome Geek Show! Now I know what you’re thinking: “Wait, ‘Super Awesome?’ How’d YOU get on THAT, Michael?”
You’ve got a lot of nerve, haven’t you? I’m not going to dignify that with an answer.
After a bit of talk about (of course) Zeus Is Dead and Booktrope, we geek out about other things like Farscape, Twin Peaks, and The Strain. Also cereal. Breakfast is important!
Oh, and a slight correction: Vanya is in Bulgaria, not Romania. My brain mixed her up geographically with Amalia Chitulescu, who designed the covers for A Shadow in the Flames and A Memory in the Black.
Sorry, Vanya!
On August 24th I had the pleasure of meeting Shannon and Matt, two great local geek-types who host the popular Seattle Geekly podcast. I traveled to their studio in west Seattle to meet their feline interns and talk to them about Zeus Is Dead. Shannon also read and reviewed the book (and Matt’s now got it on his own reading list), and I’m happy to say she really liked it!
I mean just imagine how awkward things would’ve been if she’d thought it sucked, right?
Seattle Geekly’s episode 231: My podcast debut!
You can listen to the podcast on the Seattle Geekly website here, or catch the podcast on iTunes or Stitcher…
My epic comedic fantasy novel Zeus Is Dead: A Monstrously Inconvenient Adventure released yesterday, and I’m still in the midst of all the craziness. (Seriously, I haven’t gotten much sleep yet.) Today I wanted to share some funny quote graphics from the book. These have been trickling out on Twitter and Facebook, but today I get to finally show you ALL of them in this nifty slideshow!
I’m really excited about this book! Fellow authors who received advanced copies have compared it to the work of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett, and the early Amazon reviews so far are fantastic!
Prizes! New blogs! And one awesome book!
The third Zeus Is Dead behind-the-book featurette is now up on YouTube: an excerpt from Chapter Two, read by yours truly. I suppose, strictly speaking, this one isn’t BEHIND the book so much as it is THE BOOK, but the video has me reading from the book while holding it, so technically I’m behind the book, so… Yeah, close enough.
This is the third of four featurettes that will be publicly released. One more will be out on launch day (July 21st). There are, however, five more, but you’ll only be able to see those if you sign up for my newsletter! So go ahead, sign up, why not?
And now, me in my first ever public reading! (This is the first video we did, so you can probably tell I hadn’t really loosened up yet. I’m like Tracy – I prefer to be behind the scenes…)
Thanks once again to David Taylor and Amy Louise Herndon at SciFiCommons for doing the filming and editing.
