Hello everyone,

Rhiannon and I were out and about today and when we stopped into Barnes and Noble on a whim, we found five brand new, shining copies of The First Days under the NEW FICTION rack. To say this was an exciting moment was an understatement, and while the picture alone doesn’t do the justice of seeing it live in a bookstore, it sure does say a thousand words about how far this book has come in the past few years. While there, she signed the five copies of the book that were out. You can find them at the Arboretum in Austin, TX if you live in the area.

The First Days is currently in bookstores now, but its official release date is July 5th. Please, if you haven’t ordered it already, do so at either Amazon or Barnes and Noble, or go to your local bookstore and request it!

Thanks again,

Here’s an excerpt from the overall review:

This outstanding first effort, the first book in a trilogy, will appeal greatly to zombie fans, but the undead are merely the catalyst for a far more disquieting tale of societal collapse.

The people at AstheWorldDies.com here. We recently wanted to branch out to the blogging community to ask for support in promoting The First Days. The release date is slowly but surely coming upon us and we would like any and everyone interested to help us in our promoting endeavors. Because of this, we, the staff, have created two HTML templates that you can use to promote the book before the release or the day of the release.

To download the pre-release promo, please click here.

To download the post-release promo, please click here.

Both HTML codes were created in Windows Live Writer and pasted into Microsoft Word 97 – 2003 formats.

Again, thank you for all of your support. It is much appreciated.
