lizzie borden zombie puzzle
I wanted to extend the fun a bit since the full cover isn't quite done yet (blurbs and reviews are being added and part of the image was being tweaked slightly....) (If you missed it...here's the previous cover previews and links...

So in the meantime.... go and see if you can assemble this puzzle -- then you'll see what there is (so far...) I hope the link works right... it did for me.

Hey! Now, I even reduced the number of puzzle pieces for you! I started out with 160 much smaller pieces... heh heh... C'mon, have fun with me!!!

The back copy is the description I've been sharing below. 

 I'll be showing the finished full cover once it's done...  

 I CAN'T WAIT!!! CAN YOU???  COMING SEPT 13!

New Short Zombie Mystery Story for Thanksgiving!

10/16/2015

 
 - My part-zombie  girl character Becca from my young adult book, GIRL Z: My Life as a Teenage Zombie has been turning sleuth!  I have two stories coming out:
 
​
New: 
In my story “The Nearly Ruined Thanksgiving,”  Becca solves the mystery of the (dreaded!) missing cranberries, in the November edition of Mystery Weekly (http://www.mysteryweekly.com). ** See links on Fiction page to get issue.

**  
And her first short mystery:

Now Out!! 
  Becca faces her fear of dogs, fights some zombies, and solves the mystery of why many of the other dogs are disappearing in “Puppy Love and Zombies,” coming in the anthology, Young Adventurers: Heroes, Explorers and Swashbucklers. ("It was love at first lick." - #1linewed - from story.)

The anthology features all kinds of adventures, including a boyhood story with the future Repairman Jack by author F. Paul Wilson.)
