Hi Carol! Sorry I won’t get to see you this year. Have fun at the con!
[Reply]
I’m sorry to hear that, Mark. Maybe next year…
On a cheerier note, my copy of Battle arrived yesterday.
[Reply]
Carol - Awesome! I’m looking forward to chatting about it with folks over at B&N.
[Reply]
Ok was watching 1st Vlog at work and dragged my boss in she wants to read them now! See I am doing my part to save Amanda!
[Reply]
Fun book. Fun vlog. Looking forward to more.
[Reply]
Hello Mark, Battle of the Network Zombies is at my indy book source ready for pick up; I already know the henchmen are palming thru it.
[Reply]
But Mark…you didn’t even show us your sexy bare chest!!

My word, Ms. Kane…that was disturbing.
[Reply]
I just wanted to say “hi”! Our Yahoo reading group just had a notice posted that your latest and greatest just hit the shelves.
[Reply]
Man DOWN MAN DOOOOWN. Mark you keep freezing on me in the first blog. WTF.
Love love love The Warriors, totally own that shizzle on DVD. Baseball Furies are the best!
[Reply]
Um…that’s awesome Stephanie. She should fill the kid’s Easter Baskets with snarky zombie books. Just sayin’.
TM - Thanks
Beet - Those bastards! Their hands are probably all jizzy.
Stace - I try to keep that hidden away, much like my shitty perm.
Amy - Then buy them shits Amy!!! Do a group read!!!
Natasha - Did I ever tell you that every time I say your name, and I do, sometimes I shout it. It’s because of this… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSdJeRp-KIE
[Reply]
Just finished the third vlog. Um…yeah. The snark is back in an UGLY way.
[Reply]
Re: NATASHA: *snort* Must netflix.
[Reply]
I have to wait… darn. Mark is not work appropriate and that is why we love him.
[Reply]
O M G
Stacia that is just … like 70’s porn. OMFG
[Reply]
Wasn’t December Quinn responsible for writing like 75% of porn coming out of the Valley in the 70s? That’s the rumor I started, anyway.
[Reply]
I’d watch more television if there was anything on it like your vlogs.
I RSVP’d
[Reply]
I love the Warriors and Hair Spray!
[Reply]
Mark since were waiting for vlog #3 can you tell us where we can ambush umm…find you into sign our book?
[Reply]
Stephanie D - Just as long as we’re talking about the John Waters version of Hairspray and not the musical. Then we’re cool.
[Reply]
Beet - Yep. I’m going to be doing a signing event with Jaye Wells on March 30th at 7pm at Powell’s in Beaverton, OR. Then that Saturday, the 3rd at Norwescon in Seattle. On April 5th at 7:00, I’ll be signing with Jaye again, along with Jeanne Stein and Cory Doctorow. On April 10th I’ll be at the Tukwila Barnes and Noble along with Harry Connolly, Gayle Ann Williams and Jessa Slade at 1:00 pm. The last event will be Romantic Times on the 1st of May in Columbus, OH. Though, you can get me to personalize a copy of any book you buy through University Bookstore, just check out my website… http://www.markhenry.us
[Reply]
OH MY GOD. I just typed in my whole signing schedule and then promptly lost it. Ugh.
[Reply]
Hi, Mark!!! I need to watch the vlogs when I have a smidge of time later and the small humans are not within earshot. Stupid snowstorm. If we order through University Books (??) can we get Battle autographed?
I did RSVP and will stop by again after viewing the vlogs.
[Reply]
Qwill - If y’all order through University Bookstore, I’ll even draw shit in your books! Check out how to do that at http://www.markhenry.us
Beet - I’m going to be very limited in my appearances this year (primarily cuz money’s tight and pubs only send bestsellers on book tour), but I’ll be at Powells on March 30th, Norwescon on April 3rd, University Bookstore on April 5th, the Tukwila Barnes and Noble on April 10th and Romantic Times Convention on May 1st. That’s it. Otherwise, check out my website to see how to get personalized books.

For sure the John Waters’s version! Geeze! Perfect Zombie Dennis Rodman!
[Reply]
*waving*
Hey Mark!
Congrats on the release today! woohoo yay! I loved happy Hour of the Damned! I bought one for my sister and my best gal pal, they both loved it and is passing it on. I have Roadtrip of the Living Dead, but I haven’t read it yet, because I was waiting on Battle Of The Network Zombies. I loved the first three vlogs, I will be back to catch the last two.
Happy Release Day!!

So I had a moment waiting for this annoying client, so I took a look at the appendix. Sort of green and gloopy, but it was hard to see with the arterial spray.
Then I revisited the final section of Battle. It makes me look forward to your YA, because I think Amanda’s teen tale what many kids are actually like. Which, like Mark said, is pretty awful.
[Reply]
My copy of Battle of the Network Zombies came in today’s mail.
Already friended Mark in all the above venues.
5) All done.

[Reply]
WOW, what a contest, and awesome Vlogs! Divine was legend! I think he/she was soo dirty in Pink Flamingoes, I bought the anniversary edition, and wowza. What interesting inspiration. Your works look soo amuzing. I followed you on Twitter, and Facbook, and I tried to follow you on Myspace, but the link wouldnt work. lol I Also Blogged on myspace about this interview at http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.ListAll&bID=529765191 my personal blog, dont really care who sees it, and I also RSVPD, and the other event, and with the same name, and voted for Menolly and Camille in the Bitten by Books poll.
[Reply]
Oh, and it would be interesting to read your YA book. I can only imagine what your really going to do. I see you breaking boundaries there!!
[Reply]
Thanks for the signing list. Looks like it is going to be Romantic Time for me. Powells with Jaye Wells is the gun bra going to make an appearance? I want video.
Speaking of Jaye Wells are their any insightful question we should be asking her next time she’s here at bitten?
[Reply]
I will have to watch the blogs when I get home from work. I picked up my copy this morning at Barnes and Noble. Sadly working until Saturday so won’t have any time to read it until then. Best of luck with the third book I’m sure it will be great. I still don’t know how you go to so many conventions Mark. Best wishes in 2010!
[Reply]
Waaa, my ‘puter won’t play the vlogs :/
I RSVP’d though & also bought Road Trip Of The Living Dead and Battle Of The Network Zombies.Friended on Facebook, joined on Yahoo& following on twitter. Amanda MUST be saved!

Hey y’all. Sorry about the delay. Not in a good space right now, so rather than subject y’all to a completely depressing “Woe is me”-type vlog. We’ll just see if I can straighten this shit out. Go buy some books in the meantime, that might help…if they’re mine, I mean.
[Reply]
That puppy commercial gets to me too. It pretty much ruins my day when I see it because I spiral into a deep depression. Damn Sarah Maclachlan. Can you dig it? (that’s my Warriors reference…love that movie) As always I enjoyed the vlogs. I just finished Happy Hour of the Damned. One of the funniest books ever.

Hi Mark! I have read only the first book and I LOVE it! It’s a great zombie novel! I can’t wait to read the others! It’s a pity there’s no Italian translation. (I had to reread the first book with my sister to translate it for her. XD)
I’ll be back for the other vlogs!

Giada!!!!! I sold Italian rights a year and a half ago. There should be some rumblings of an Italian version.
[Reply]
Okay, I just bought my copy of Network from Amazon and a pound of Leonidas Dark Chocolates (hellz no I am not sharing), a book on Lebanese cooking and something else…. Then I realized I farking wanted to order it through UW so I could have Mark scribble on it. Oh well. If I make it to RT I will take it then.
Go buy people, this is Mark’s livelihood we are talking about here. If I never get to upload his videos to our site again, I will be weighted down by spine crushing (and I *do* mean spine crushing) depression. And if I get depressed who knows what could happen to the site.
Contests could collapse, world infrastructures could implode…. just you know stuff. I need my Mark Henry Fixes. In books and Vlogs…so go buy some bookage and show him so love!
[Reply]
Mark I couldn’t find it anywhere! Do you know the Italian title? Maybe it is an out of print book. T____T
[Reply]
Hi Mark….
Once again my puter and vlogs are not playing well together, so it will probably take me hours to view them all but view them all I will…
I am glad to see you here today need some snark…thank you for letting me know about my copy of Happy Hour….

Giada, I bet it’s not published yet. They have up to two years from the contract to do it. So who knows. It’s the only foreign right that we’ve sold so when you mentioned it, I go nuts!!!
[Reply]
I just want to know how Stacia got a copy of that December Quinn cover. Looks like a collector’s item.
Happy release day, Mark!
[Reply]
Hi Mark! Great Vlogs, though I had to fight w/ my computer to play them, even then your voice wanted to stay 30 seconds ahead of your movements…
Just read Happy Hour of the Damned yesterday and can’t wait to read the other two!
I unfortunately haven’t seen The Warriors. I need to brush up on my 80s movies apparently. As for who would make a good zombie… hmmm, I definitely RuPaul! I’ll have to think about anyone else.

Okay, Mark, picture this. Cyndi Lauper, from her video Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, as a zombie! She’s already got the wardrobe! Hmm, was that too many exclamation points? Nawwww.
And when you were saying who better to snark than.. I was really thinking you were about to say, drunk teenagers. ‘Cause just add enough alcohol, where it’s legal of course, to some teens to remove filters (face those filters aren’t firmly in place anyway) and oh boy the snark comes out.

First thing first…
-I RSVPed yesterday
-I’m waiting on Happy Hour of the Damned and Road Trip of the Living Dead to come in the mail. I ordered before this blog so I don’t think it counts.
-I already follow Mark and Twitter and Facebook (@jessa_lee82)
-voted in poll
-I share this on twitter and facebook
Pshewww! Now that all thats done…
What’s up Mark! My hubby finally removed his @ss from the compter so that I could get on here.
Wouldn’t miss it for the world. Well, maybe if the world was ending or some sh*t like that but anywho…
From your first vlog I just wanted to say IM YOUR PEOPLE! I admire an author who pushes the envelope and isn’t afraid to break that mold. Its what makes you legendary! I haven’t read this series yet but thats because it’s IN THE MAIL. Im patiently waiting for the first two books to arrive. The first you signed and the second was bought at another site. So if I win I want a copy of Battle of the Network Zombies signed. Got it? Good!
You were naming off some people who you thought would make good zombies and I have one for ya. Dakota Cassidy. She would so kick @ss and wouldn’t give a flying f*ck about taking names. *lol* I lurve that wench.
Someone else I would say would be a good zombie is someone you don’t know, my moms hubby. Two nights ago he shot himself in the face with a .22 and still lives. BUMMER… (I didn’t mean that, really! Or did I?)
Alright Mark… Im bouncing for now but I will be back to watch your other two vlogs once posted. Peace out homie.
[Reply]
I shared on facebook!
Sent Mark a facebook friend request!
[Reply]
Hey everybody, thanks for the comments, I’m just going to respond to the ones with questions and shit in them but know I’m reading them all.
Beet - Jaye likes it when you ask her about her past life as a stripper.
Raelena - CAN YOU DIG IT?
Oh Rachel - You know I have a vision of zombie Monica Lewinsky in that presidentially cummy blue dress shambling around the White House lawn…and it’s all your fault.
[Reply]
Heya Mark!
Argh, I really dislike that ASPCA commercial with Sarah McLachlan too!
Apparently, there’s zombies at the Olympics this year. One revealed himself during a figure skating jump. Photographic proof, 4th photo down.

1. Made an Amazon purchase through the BBB link, sent the receipt to the e-mail address, INCLUDING Mark Henry’s “Happy Hour of the Damned” mmpb and 3 other books.
2. #1 I think women do talk like how Amanda is described (maybe just not everyone sees it). Thank you for doing the YouTube links so I can watch them on my phone when I don’t want to use my slow and charges-too-much rural internet line. I special-requested those links in my RSVP because I can check them out anytime, like while I’m waiting for the Wi-Fi to kick in on my laptop at MickeyD’s. Ha. I work from “home” for myself, so I’m not being a work slacker. YouTube just loads faster when I can get it on my little BlackBerry.
#2 I’m also being dried out by allergy meds. Need water! I BOUGHT Happy Hour of the Damned through BBB’s Amazon link here ’cause I promised I would, and I’d like extra credits for any contest winnings available. It’d be neat to have more of the books to go with the one I just purchased. 
Are the stage moms based on Toddlers & Tiaras? Yay, John Waters. 
Seen Serial Mom and Cry-Baby. Wasn’t Divine in Priscilla of the Desert (haven’t seen)? I read Chuck’s Portland book (I live about an hour south of PDX) and like the movie Fight Club. #3 They’re calling the black smoke monster Smokey on LOST. Sandra Bullock would make an interesting zombie. We had a neighborhood kid that would constantly fall off his skateboard/skate ramp. You think his parts would fall off if he did that as a zombie? Didn’t see Tom Brokaw. Seriously, Celine Dion; dropped the ball on that one, eh? I hate those animal torture commercials with Sarah’s City of Angels (”Angel”) song on them. I don’t need to see that. I watch the news enough. RuPaul zombie, yay! I try to catch Drag Race ’cause I saw the first season on VH1. It is addictive. Haha, Jay Leno zombie. I haven’t got the 3rd book, but if I win it, I’ll read the appendix first.

Count me in.
[Reply]
Joan Rivers would make a FANTASTIC zombie! RuPaul too, actually - but for different reasons. I’m super jealous that you get to watch logo… I don’t have any cable right now (I know, super lame) but when I did, it was all logo, bbc, and tlc/discovery.
Parker Posey is a trip, just sayin’
[Reply]
I couldn’t watch the vlogs. That background electronic chittering noise aggravated my headache and almost pushed me over into full blown migraine. No contest is worth that.

Hi Mark. Great to have you back here. Love your vlogs!
Who would make a good zombie?
Brittany Spears(when she cut her hair)
Jay & Silent Bob would be awesome
Amy Whinehouse(my son helped me with that one)
Undertaker & Kane from WWE
I think Lady Gaga(gag me is the name I give her) is already a zombie…lol

Wait? Isn’t Joan Rivers already a zombie?
Who do you wish that you’d known when he/she was a teenager? Either now or when you yourself was a teenager?
[Reply]
Mark, happy release day. I started watching with green tea in hand, I’m now drinking wine (um, yeah, right from the bottle, because you have that effect on me) and enjoying the vlogs immensely. Love Amanda, so glad to see her making it big on the internet rounds. But she is Amanda, and the girl knows how to work it. Amanda? I could use a few lessons. . .
Now excuse me while I get another bottle and settle in for more vlogs. . . love Amanda, love the books.
[Reply]
I enjoyed the vlogs and I’m looking forward to the rest. I’m going to be spending some B&N gift certificates soon, I believe your books are going on the list.
I think Dick Cheney would make a good zombie - he’s almost there already.

Hello Mark, First off, let me say “Happy Release day!!!!
ok, I did RSVP, I am friends with you on FB and myspace, following you on twitter, I posted a link on my FB page.I joined your yahoo group and voted in the poll here. I am almost done with Happy Hour of the Damned, I bought Road Trip of the Living Dead and I preordered Battle of The Network Zombies. Ok, I believe you announced my name as a winner at the beginning of the vlog, but I did not get an email yet. So, let me say: I love the filth! I also love the footnotes. I can’t believe you brought up Serial Mom. I love that movie. My sister ,mom and I quote it all the time! “shut up you filthy whore!” So I have to ask you if you find it hard or easy writing from a female POV because you do a greatjob of it! Now as for who would make a great zombie? Wel, I have no idea why ,but Tyra Banks was the frist person to pop in my head. Also, Ozzy Osbourne. Best of luck with the Save Amanda Feral campaign! I’ll be back later to view the next vlogs.
[Reply]
Hi Mark!*laughing* Your Vlogs are always entertaining! I just bought 2 copies of Battle of the Network Zombies for me and for the winner of my blog contest;) Trying to do my part to help Save Amanda Feral! You rock and I am also a big fan of John Waters by the way. Anywho thanks for being here and I love your series.
Oh yeah Joan Rivers is definitely a brain eater aka zombie! Oh and another thing that zombie Monica Lewinsky with the blue dress and ummm…yeah that image is burned in my mind. So disturbing yet hilarious!
Thanks!
[Reply]
Ack! We just have to have our Mark Henry fix. Hubs simply shakes his head when he hears/sees me watching his vlogs and cackling at his snark.
Now Mark you have a special section on my book shelf. I will have to take a picture sometime. Happy Hour is in queue for me to read, of course (I’m the one who took a picture of Happy Hour and the receipt to Walmart’s), then Road Trip of the Living Dead, and then Battle of the Network Zombies.
I always share your link to the vlogs with my friends to “encourage” them to buy your books.
RSVPed of course!

Questions where supposed to ask questions?
Mark if there was one literary character you could steal and have Amanda eat who would it be and why?
Rachel I picked my copy up from my local B&N. Along with new Kim Harrison, Stacia Kane, and Diana Rowland books. Plus don’t tell anyone I still read J.D. Robb series aka Nora Roberts. Can’t believe it’s at book 30. Longest series I’m reading. Mark here’s hoping Amanda is so successful that you hit 30 books.

and back to what I said during your last event….turns out my uncle is not illiterate(guess he learned how to read in prison) and he really enjoyed your book….if only there was an Amanda Feral 12 step program maybe to work on his other issues….
[Reply]
Alright y’all. Vlogs 4 and 5 are in Rachel’s court now.
Oh Amanda - You had me at Celine Dion punching through her own dead chest. Nice!
OMG JEssica! - Dakota would be an awesome Amanda-like zombie! Go. Tell her!
[Reply]
Great start on a list of good zombies. I’d add Arnold Schwarzenegger and Morgan Freeman - talk about kickass. Looks like Nicole Kidman is already one - though she makes the top 10 best-dressed zombie list. Also, add Marie Osmond - they had to dig her up for the weight lost ads.
Eagerly awaiting vlogs 4&5. RSVP’d, of course.
[Reply]
Who would make a good zombie, Tiger Woods, Rachel Maddow, Jensen Ackles,
[Reply]
I think George Lopez would be a hilarious zombie! OH and Michael Scott(I know it’s Steve Carell) would be a funny zombie as well. Hmmm… who else..
[Reply]
REB - Nope. The reapers came long before my unhealthy fixation on Toddlers & Tiaras. And no Divine never appeared in drag on film except for the John Waters films and Lust in the Dust, which was crazy. Just crazy.
Sewicked - Tough question. I wish I’d known someone infamous. Just the other day, my friends and I were talking about how lucky Ann Rule was to have known Ted Bundy. Seriously. Her whole career stems from that.
Lisa M - I totally announced your name. Email coming!!!
[Reply]
I actually just bought the first book about a week ago, but have not had time to read it yet. I can’t stand the Sarah McLachlan commercial, what makes it worse is that it is played all the time on so many different channels. Now when I hear that song I think of the commercial. For some reason I immediately thought of Sarah Jessica Parker as a Zombie.

Hi Mark!!! Always fabulous to see you.
I’m sad that no autographed diapers are headed my way, but there is always hope. I finished Happy Hour about 2 weeks ago, and also bought a copy for a friend, and I LOVED it. I explained to my other half about the plot to bring a zombie apocalypse via Starbucks, and she said that was ‘fucking awesome’…which I agree. Altough, I am pretty sure that Starbucks has already accomplished the whole zombie thing, but just not as extreme. People are addicted.
I have Road Trip on the way. I was wondering, are we ever going to see Amanda with some girl on girl action. I think its the only thing missing.
Plus, I have to say that people who say that there are no people like Amanda must br Amish or something. Everyone has at least 1 Amanda in there lives, and most of us have a bit of Amanda in us…but not in a zombie way.
[Reply]
As for who would be a good zombie…how about Angela Lansbury? She has a head start since she played Mrs. Lovitt in Sweeney Todd.
[Reply]
Wow, y’all I guess it’s a good thing this shindig goes until tomorrow. Those vlogs are going up soon, so I’m told. So hang on!

[Reply]
Raonaid - OMG. You know, I found out that they’re only selling Happy Hour in “Select” Walmarts. So I’ve yet to experience finding one myself. Sad.
Rocky - I’m going with Patrick Bateman from American Psycho. Oh yes, Amanda would have fun with him.
Heather C - Funny you should mention that. ::reviews outline for Ship of Ghouls:: Yep. zombie donut bumping! LOL.
[Reply]
Oh my god! Angelica Houston! She’d kick ass as a zombie. And yeah, you’re right, Joan Rivers is probably zombified already. Who do you suppose is her favorite type of food?
[Reply]
Wow, Mark “selected” Walmarts. Really? Dang, I have a new respect for West Virginia’s Walmart.. Though when I went into Ohio’s, Happy Hour was sadly not there!
[Reply]
For the contest: I RSVP’d yesterday (natch), I blogged about the event at elisajankowski.blogspot.com, which autofeeds into my facebook account at facebook.com/elisa.llewellyn.jankowski; I’m already friendsies with the Mark Henry and BBB, oh and I voted in the paranormal poll.
You thought I was gonna spell it pole, didn’t you? pervy.
[Reply]
WTF Mark, you made me cry on the last vlog you you damn you!
[Reply]
cool! Oh and by the way, I started Happy Hour of The Damned at the same time as Dakota’s Accidentally Demonic and don’t tell her but I am farther ahead on your book. ssshhh!
[Reply]
Ok.. I’m back, and I caved and ordered Battle of The Network Zombies from the UW website. I requested you sign it to me, and add a personal touch. I’m not sure what that will be, but I know you will write something snarky for me. I’m also hoping you remember who I am when you get to it… So tell me Mark, How many Tawania’s do you know? lol.. Seriously tho, I ordered and I can’t wait to get it. I just won A Amazon gift card, and I started to go up there and order it, but decided personalization is a wonderful thing.. Anyway Congrats again on your release, and FYI Happy Hour was in the Walmart by my house in Virginia Beach. Who would of thought my Walmart was “special”
[Reply]
got the email, sent my addy. Thanks!!
[Reply]
Natasha - Awwwww.
Lisa M. - You read two books at the same time too? LOL. I have a dedicated bathroom book!
Tawania - Yep. I’ll know. They write notes for me so I know who to snark and who to just sign. I’ll tear yours up. LOL.
[Reply]
Mark, no matter what, the snark just flows (downhill of course). Waiting until next payday to get “Battle” & mpb of “Happy Hour”, but have the trade of the first 2. Wouldn’t it be awesome to bring back Michael Jackson as a zombie? (or was he one already?) Best of luck saving Amanda, but I’m sure you something else “in the pipe” and can’t wait to read it.
I RSVPd and voted for favorite fairy

[Reply]
wow, maybe it’s the tequila talking but I feel kind of morose after that last vlog, Mark. the publishing industry as a whole is working to find steady feet again, and it’s terrifying to think what could happen to beloved series. I can say for certain that BN carries your books (we have them at my work for sure) and I always do my best to encourage curious customers to try it out.
And you know, the inappropriate/filthy nature of the stories just does such a wonderful job of getting their attention. I always hope that they’ll keep coming back for more. But to be honest, that’s true for all books.
So look what you did, you made me get all serious. What a buzzkill. But I forgive you, Mark. Just don’t do it again.
[Reply]
Still kicking my puter and trying to watch vlogs….until then, I think Tilda Swinton would make a good zombie…
[Reply]
Mark, really??? After listening to you for over 40 minutes - you expect me to read the 5,000 ways to enter the contest?! Just enter me in the damn thing!
I follow your ass on twitter, and I finally found you on facebook (with your help, of course). I also joined the bittenbybooks group on facebook just a little while ago. That’s all got to count for something, right?
Oh! While scrolling down here to bitch and moan, I saw a link for your myspace… didn’t work.

Darn, can’t view the vlogs here at work!
[Reply]
Yes Mark in most cases children should be protected but I think it may be too late for the kid 2 doors down. I think he may already be a zombie or at least a supernatural night walking pest of some kind.
As I said earlier I think Tilda Swinton would make a good zombie. Also Ashley Judd like she was in Frida, she was cadaverous. Most of the ballet dancers I know are already pulling off the liquid and cigarette only diet already and they wear Ben Nye pancake make up too, So who would ever figure it out if they were to become zombies.
[Reply]
Who would I like to see as a Zombie? My ex’s Mother - Oh wait thats dead not undead! Wouldn’t that be a nightmare come true.
Ok really? Celine Dion and Sarah McLachlan?! Thanks for bringing that up. As if Canada don’t have enough problems eh? Then to have that ass Wayne Gretzky “doing the honors” I don’t know that we’ll ever live it down. (I gotta say his Dad is the real Great One)

Finally got a chance to see 4 and 5 vlogs. 4 was totally disgusting, but I was laughing in the end. 5 I wish you luck, and your publisher should have let you have a nicer, relaxing release day. I bought “Happy Hour”, like I said above, and I’m not even a zombie girl. But I’m trying it out ’cause you’ve been very good to us new readers and old. I hope to see more.
[Reply]
So Mark are you okay if I introduce Happy Hour of Damned as the shites and giggles book of the decade?
[Reply]
Just checked the tracking from Amazon and “Network’ should be here by the end of the day!! WooHoo!
OMG Kirsty Allen would make a great zombie, and Tom Cruise, and Nicole Kidman. I can so see them shuffling on the red carpet looking for that tasty little morsel.
Mark, can you give us a little hint about what will happen in Amanda’s book 4(cause I know there will be one)?

Oh Miranda - Our friendly neighbor to the north, if you win you can just swing by my house and pick it up. Easy peasy.
Hey Koren - Thanks for the recipes. My friend is into homeopathy and herbs and stuff. I’ll ask him where he goes to buy his witchery!
Beverly!!! Sarah Silverman! LOL!
[Reply]
REB - Thanks!
Beet - Of course, call that shit whatever you like…just call it!!!
Lisa R. - I’m glad you’re being optimistic. IF there’s an Amanda book 4, tentatively titled Ship of Ghouls, Amanda and the ghoulie gang hit the high seas for Liesl and Cameron’s wedding, but the nuptials may be foiled by an outbreak of mistakes, the groom’s predilection for underage supernaturals and Amanda and Wendy’s dueling stalkers.
[Reply]
OK so I reserved my Battle copy on Kindle, why is it a week late????,and just to let yu know, my limit for a kindle book is the current price. Of course i will also have to get a paper copy to put on my book shelf next to Happy Hour and Road Trip. I certainly hope there will be more Amanada books, but if not I’m sure your next books will be just as fun to read.
John Waters and Devine, man does that bring back memories, probably my first introduction to “other” sexual orientations. Those movies were some of the best.
Good luck with your new release, and mass market PB release of Happy hour.

Lori - No. Clue. They don’t tell me shit about that stuff. Nothing.

2) Who Would Be An Awesome Zombie?
I Think Alex O’Laughlin Would Make A Good Zombie. He Is So Cute Even Being A Zombie Would Not Be Able To Take Away From It.
Who Would You Make A Zombie?
I Would Make Mickey Rourke Or Steven Seagal Because I Do Not Like Them.
[Reply]
I Love Divine. I Loved Her/Him In Lust In The Dust And Hairspray. The Way Divine And Tab Hunter Were In That Movie Was Hysterical. For Good Snarkyness I Watch Priscilla Queen Of The Dessert. They Have Some Real Snarkyness Going On In That Movie Between Felicia And Bernadette. Another Good Zombie Movie Is Shaun Of The Dead. Everyone Needs A Winchester To Hide In. P.S. Love Your Snarky Tweets (@skyla11377) Mark They Fuel My Day….LOL.
2) Who Would Be An Awesome Zombie?
Winona Ryder Would Be A Good Zombie. She Was Half Way There In The Movie Beetle Juice. I Also Think That Katie Couric Is Already A Zombie Trying To Act Like She’s Alive. She So Bores Me.
Who Would You Make A Zombie?
I Would Make Conan O’Brien A Zombie. He Has Always Annoyed Me so He Deserves To Be A Zombie.

Hi Mark!!! Back again to see the last 2 vlogs. The new YA series sounds awesome, but I figured your name would be something like Hark Menry.
I am hoping for more Amanda. You did promise donut bumping in the next one, and I can’t miss out on that.
[Reply]
I think Michael Schumacher (F1 driver) would make a great zombie, it would also be fun to watch him race with all the problems zombies have.

The YA series sound awesome. I’m sure Mark’s editor is going to be marking the first draft with a lot of red to tone it down for the younger market.
Johnny Depp would make a great zombie.
