I'm also shifting gears a little bit in fiction and am writing a bio-terrorism thriller, Patient Zero, for St. Martins Press. It's the first of a series of novels about a police detective, Joe Ledger, who gets recruited by a secret military organization to help stop a group of terrorists who are planning to launch a weaponized disease that turns people into zombies. It's not a horror novel, however, and I even have a decent medical explanation for how the zombies function. This book is tentatively scheduled for release in early 2009.
And I'm working on developing a couple of horror-related projects with collaborators, including a script for a graphic novel.
I'm also launching an online horror ezine, Cryptopedia Magazine. That's going to be great, with lots of top writers and artists involved.
Do you have a website/blog where readers may learn more about you and your works?
My main author website is jonathanmaberry.com; but I'm also co-founder of a writers education center, The Writers Corner USA, and we're just about to launch a number of online classes for writers. On MySpace I can be found at myspace.com/jonathan_maberry and myspace.com/cryptopedia.
