SOME HOLIDAY SUGGESTIONS:

So it's getting close to Christmas, and you may still be looking for that perfect holiday gift! Well, look no further. There are three anthologies available which feature the fiction of the someday-award-winning author Andrew Zimmerman Jones. Possible to be of collectable values in some circles, some day, these anthologies feature the original published work of an upcoming author.

Seriously, though, the anthologies are relatively cheap and entertaining. You can order autographed copies directly from me, although I cannot guarantee at the moment that I have them in stock and can get them out in time for the holidays.

International House of Bubbas -
A plague has destroyed society, leaving only the rednecks and people mutated into horrible yuppie zombies. This third volume in the Bubbas anthology series turns the Bubbas into globetrotters as the ever expansive mythos spreads beyond the borders of the good ole' U.S. of A. AZJ chimes in with a tale of east meets west with the appropriate title "Empire of Silk, Empire of Flannel."
Available from Yard Dog Press .

Also, a quick reminder that my debut anthology, The Four Bubbas of the Apocalypse: Flatulence, Halitosis, Incest, and ... Ned, is still available for purchase, either through Yard Dog Press or Amazon.com (see link at right). My story in this one is a tale of the evil that resides within us all, entitled "Mr. Ned and Dr. Ted."

Chimeraworld #2 -
This anthology of surreal fiction features "Abraham Lincoln's Children," the story that I read to a collection of poets and sci-fi/fantasy authors at the Banff Centre for the Arts Writing with Style workshop, to a surprisingly receptive ovation. For some reason, this dark-sf tale of insect obsession touched a cord with the assembled Canadian poets. It's a niche market, but it's one that I'm happy to aim toward, since I'm fond of both Canadians and poets.
Available in print-on-demand and ebook formats from Lulu.com
