Sven the Zombie Slayer

Hi,

I'm Guy James, author of Sven the Zombie Slayer, a new zombie novel.

This is a brief description:
When a zombie outbreak of unknown origin hits their town, strongman Sven, gun-lover Jane, track star Lorie, and video game warrior Milt find that their lives have become entangled in zombie gore. (138,000 words)

If you like zombies and interweaving storylines, I think you'll enjoy Sven the Zombie Slayer.

You may sample the book on amazon on the following product pages:
Kindle Edition - http://www.amazon.com/Sven-the-Zombi...dp/B005GEWYV8/

Paperback - http://www.amazon.com/Sven-Zombie-Sl...dp/1463591659/

You may also sample the book and download a sample pdf from my blog here:

Enjoy!

Best,
Guy

Thanks, I appreciate it. It's cheap on the kindle right now--$0.99.

Is your work available? I've always loved zombie fiction and the horror genre in general.

I dont have a kindle but i dont mind paying extra for the paperback. I'm not a fan of e-readers. My work is available. I actually started a thread here for it:

Unfortunately the publisher i used charges a lot. I'm pretty unhappy with them because of that. I don't feel good asking people to spend so much. I'm gonna try a different route with my next book.

You don't have to own a kindle to read kindle books. Amazon has a free kindle for pc app that allows you to read any kindle book on your computer. I'll admit it's not as much fun as reading a paper book, but I can't pass up the fabulous deal that many up and coming authors offer. There's so much good content available for a buck or two- or even free, that I'm amassing quite a kindle library, even though I don't own a kindle.

I like checking out new authors and this is a great way without having to make a huge investment.

BTW- I just bought the kindle edition, Guy. The deal was too good to pass up.

Yeah i would do that but i just hate reading books on my computer. I can't take it everywhere with me and i just don't enjoy it. I feel like i would have the same feeling about an e-reader which is a big reason why i havent bought one.

Thanks for the link. If you're interested in switching, I'm very happy with CreateSpace (amazon), and amazon digital. Smashwords is great too, and their formatting guide is extensive enough to cover everything you need for ebook formatting.

Thanks neverending! I hope you like it.

I do the same thing btw. I have a kindle for PC set up so as I browse amazon I'm constantly clicking on "send sample", then when I have a chance I have a ton of books to look through and buy. No shelf-space, instantaneous transmission...it really is revolutionary.
