I am happy to say that the final edit before it goes back to my partner in crime, Rebecca Bradley, of my zombie book is going really well. The great thing is that I have really enjoyed re-reading it. It is in parts tense, in parts gruesome, and in others intellectually stimulating and funny.

I wrote a post some time back which detailed my plans on writing a zombie fiction book which should hopefully include a good deal of philosophy.
