These Pizza Bucks don’t expire and can be saved up for a pizza or lunch or dinner buffet at Scotty’s Pizza Factory.

Below are my personal favorite tracks from each of her albums, with Got To Fly hitting a special nerve as it’s songs are inspired by two of my favorite shows Firefly and Battlestar Galactica!

Here is a live performance of the punk song “We’re Out For Blood” she wrote for the movie Zombie Cheerleading Camp

The signing will take place at Heroes Only Comics & Games from Noon and run until 4 pm.

Information on The Last Zombie:

“Follow the frantic journey of a man seeking his one ray of hope in a post-apocalyptic nightmare United States. The zombies have come and (mostly) gone, but the disease is still out there, threatening the survivors. The country swarms with roving packs of wild animals—and worse, desperate humans—ready to do whatever it takes to survive. Through it all, one man must drive from Colorado to New York to reunite with the woman he loves…before it’s too late for either of them!”

The Last  Zombie will be a 5 part series.

Information on Punisher #75 and Shadow Season:

“Special double-sized 75th issue!  Several years ago, under a cloudless day in New York’s Central Park, Frank Castle’s family was slaughtered in a mob crossfire.  On that day, the man known as Frank Castle died and in his place was born the Punisher, a relentless engine of vengeance.  Five stories take an unflinching look at what really happened that day, providing a penetrating look into the mass of hard muscle that once was Frank Castle’s heart.  You won’t look at the Punisher the same way again.  Featuring Charlie Huston and Ken Lashley’s “Smallest Bit of This”…Peter Milligan and Tomm Coker’s “Father’s Day”…“Gregg Hurwitz and Das Pastoras’ “Gateway”…Thomas Piccirilli and Laurence Cambpell’s “Dolls”…and “TBD”

“In Piccirilli’s brooding, character-driven chiller, former New York City cop Finn, recently blinded, wallows in his new role as an English teacher at a posh girls’ boarding school. A storm looms as Finn and a skeleton staff remain to supervise a handful of girls staying at the school during winter break. Piccirilli (The Fever Kill) harps on his theme of isolation with palpable glee as Finn, surrounded by self-absorbed adolescents and mysterious, brutally violent attackers roaming the campus, grapples with blindness amid a sonar-dulling snowstorm in a remote area with no cellphone service. Terrified of solitude and driven by his cop instincts, Finn embarks on a wrenching journey that exposes the raw emotion of a man nearly destroyed by disability and circumstance.”

Throughout the four hours, there was a steady flow of traffic coming in and out. Keene signed books, comics, and, most interestingly, an electric guitar.

Initially, I didn’t know what to expect. Those pesky butterflies had been floating around in my stomach, that nag in the back of your mind asking what do you do if nobody shows up. It would have been embarrassing to not have pulled in a crowd. You convince this well-known author to come do a signing at your store and the greatest fear is that the turnout will be so poor that you’ll be asking yourself if the apocalypse occurred without you knowing it (c’mon, we’ve all been to a Barnes & Nobles during one of those times). That perhaps you, the author, and a couple of your buddies are the only survivors of an extinction event that happened behind your back. Fortunately, things didn’t play out that way.

Once again, I apologize if you couldn’t make it.

For a much better (and thorough) narrative of events that took place on the 15^th, visit Tom Piccirilli’s The Cold Spot and read about it. I think he deserved a shirt.

A huge thanks goes out to Brian for his willingness to jump on a plane, take a ride to the middle of nowhere, and spend hours answering questions, scrawling his name on paper, and never failing to smile for the cameras.

Thanks to Josh for suggesting to Brian that he should make the trip out here.

Thanks to Craig for filming our interview with Brian and doing such a masterful job of editing it.

And thanks to everyone who showed up with books in hand or purchased them from the store. You’re the reason why we did it.

P.S. – As it turns out, Josh really did lose his job the following Monday. Please keep him in your thoughts as he hunts for a new one.

Oh, and I almost forgot: last, but not least, thanks to PJ, who really cannot be thanked ENOUGH!
