I got sent away as a kid after reading the first book, and when I came back I wasn’t the same person anymore and lost the love of reading. I’ve finally gained it back 15 years later and was overjoyed to see my favorite book have sequels. Broken hearted when I realized the story never got finished. Even though I know I’m just one person. I feel like it’s my fault bc I wasn’t around to tell all my friends about this great series.

I've heard arguments that you can judge a book by it's cover because the "better" books get more design budget and attention, but I find that theory spurious in several ways. In the best case scenarios, there is some aesthetic tie between the cover art and the interior of the book--not necessarily a representational tie--when I was in college I bought loads of those Vintage Contemporaries because of the covers, and in high school and college I was buying Bantam Spectra science fiction paperbacks because of the cover designs, and in both cases there were rewards to be found when the sensibility of the cover art enhanced or underscored the fiction housed within. But just as often there was heartbreak and disappointment.<br /><br />And then there was the time in my late twenties and I realized that my three favorite books at the time--Infinite Jest, Generation X, and a beautiful new edition of Beryl Markham's West With The Night--all had blue covers with clouds on them. Coincidence or conspiracy? And imagine my delight when Generation Dead came out with blue sky...<br /><br />I often bought vinyl records because of the covers, also Daniel Watershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00056797282149019086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362670344247251470.post-72272155681006742662019-01-26T17:26:11.737-05:002019-01-26T17:26:11.737-05:00I do love the quotation on the Don Camillo cover, ...I do love the quotation on the Don Camillo cover, which is funny because I try not to judge--or pick out--books by their covers.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975028272143207826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362670344247251470.post-64778278289922051942019-01-19T15:15:25.239-05:002019-01-19T15:15:25.239-05:00I've been doing the Snake Juice diet to get in...I've been doing the Snake Juice diet to get into ketosis and I agree with you on the irritability thing. Do you use those strips to monitor your progress as well? I was amazed that I could subsist bodily on electrolytes and not solid food for as long as I did, but then working slowly from broth then soup/stew and gradually to solid food was an education. Also a real detoxifier as you said about caffeine and sugar.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168153433438367960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362670344247251470.post-59418509868750330572017-05-29T22:22:41.870-04:002017-05-29T22:22:41.870-04:00Adam and Phoebe 4 Ever :)Adam and Phoebe 4 Ever :)Adam Laymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18139683354642223954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362670344247251470.post-67739695053669417732017-05-29T22:21:40.608-04:002017-05-29T22:21:40.608-04:00Hi, im reading book 2 and i hope adam and phoebe b...Hi, im reading book 2 and i hope adam and phoebe be boyfriend and girlfriend they are the best couple :) Please :( Adam Laymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18139683354642223954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362670344247251470.post-85898970220402718382016-09-04T16:54:32.123-04:002016-09-04T16:54:32.123-04:00Tengo muchísimas ganas de leerlos!Tengo muchísimas ganas de leerlos!Chica Sombrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06739673174927483865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362670344247251470.post-15638385151905025162016-08-28T14:46:24.137-04:002016-08-28T14:46:24.137-04:00I adore you, Daniel. Thank you for these words. I ...I adore you, Daniel. Thank you for these words. I also feel a love for Generation Dead so passionate and obsessive it borders on the pathological. <br />For me, you could write about GD to infinity, that would buy me all the books and I would read the enchanted. Such is my love for GD that I reread the books every year. Phoebe, Adam <3 , Karen ... I dug a lot in the heart. These characters are difficult to forget.<br /><br />I look forward to reading this book 4th, and 5th and others you write.<br /><br />And do not know how you plan to finish the story of GD, but if you allow me a suggestion ... I would like to conclude with an epilogue unoas few years later to see how the characters are going in the future. Because the zombie theme has a solution, so I guess Phoebe and Adam married ... in short, all happy. It's something I always miss in young adult novels, that if they have an end, but I simpre like to know what happens after the happy ending.<br /><br />Anyway, GD forever.<br /><br />And thanks. Thank you for writing. For inspiring me to write. For writing this great saga that I adore, for each and every one of the characters you've created, especially by Phoebe and Adam, who are my great One True Pairing!<br /><br />You have all my support. Always.<br /><br />A hug!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362670344247251470.post-88106049796677317472016-06-05T17:45:39.435-04:002016-06-05T17:45:39.435-04:00Thanks for responding, and congratulations on on y...Thanks for responding, and congratulations on on your own writing. Honestly, I wouldn't even want to look at the story I submitted to them. It was written back in what now seems like the early days of the Internet, about a character using his new-fangled computer, and would probably be terribly dated by now. And like I said, there were zero expectations, just a vague possibility way way in the background, but in a strange way it feels like an old chapter of my life is now over.

All manner of setbacks happen in publishing; try not to take things personally if you can. The competition for space in anthologies like Borderlands is fierce, so you should feel proud at the short-list acceptance even if things didn't pan out.<br /><br />Checking in on a short story acceptance with an occassional email is appropriate.Daniel Watershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00056797282149019086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362670344247251470.post-57906530008540236882016-06-05T13:27:46.495-04:002016-06-05T13:27:46.495-04:00Can I ask when you received your acceptance letter...Can I ask when you received your acceptance letter? I'm a no-name writer who submitted to this anthology back in 2004, got a note that I was on the short list for acceptance, and then lived through twelve years of life without any other contact from this anthology. Until now, I guess, when I just learned it's actually coming out. Don't get me wrong. I never actually expected to be accepted, but I still feel kind of weird reading about its existence now, in a time-warpy sort of way.
