Dead Set
This is just such a neat idea …
Take one crap reality TV show, have it take place in a world slowly being taken over by zombies, people it with characters no more outragous that the oddballs you usually get on the show … and then turn the real-life presenter into a zombie!
I can’t stand Big Brother. I watched some of the first series and found it mildly interesting, but from series 2 on it was painful to watch, exploitive victim-TV at its worst. There was a time when I thought, “Why not introduce a mass-murderer into the house and see how these feeble fucks handle that!” Never happened – probably because the producers couldn’t get permission, more than anything else – but this is certainly the next best thing.
Davina as a zombie. I’m there.
Writing updates: I’ve been working hard on The Secret Journeys of Jack London, the YA series I’m writing with Christopher Golden for Atheneum in the USA. It’s going to be a scorcher, and Chris and I are thrilled with how it’s going. More news on this as and when it’s available.
Also been tinkering with ideas and sample chapters for a possible dark crime novel … we’ll see if this one has legs. And a screenplay, a novella, and some short story idea for three anthologies I’ve been invited to submit to but which I can’t say much about just yet …
More soon!

Any chance any of these will be released in the UK?

We’re hopeful … when there’s news, I’ll post it here.
