    It's kind of cool that authors stop by here now and then to promote their books.

    I agree, but i do like to know when someone is selling their own work, as it sheds a light on their motives and the level of objectivity they bring to the work they're promoting.

    Promotion

    Thanks for the interest guys! I love a good ol' debate (lol). I didnt want to come on here shouting "Hey look at me i wrote a book" cause of the backlash it might cause (i guess you lose either way online). Just wanted to tell people there's a new Romero book coming out (lol). Its an obvious plug but wouldnt you guys do the same?

    With Romero being a specialist subject the only way to announce it is via the internet, go into any bookstore here in the UK and mention Romero and they would be like "Who's that? Isnt that the guy who did those strange zombie films" (if your very very lucky). They wouldnt be interested in reading a book about him, thats why i came here, you guys are Romero fans...

    Not really, though I am always game for a Romero book, even if I found out about it via a "shameless plug"

    This certainly would have been a more honest approach to notifying us "Romero Fans" about your publication, regardless of the "backlash" that may have resulted which, it appears to me, you did not really avoid with your gambit. Regardless, as I said, I appreciate a good Romero book and likely will check it out.

    We are doing signings in the UK at the Birimingham NEC in November, but maybe get over to America in the new year to do signings at some major horror festivals, but we are setting up a comp on HPOTD, stay tuned...
