Joseph Asphahani liked an update for Welcome to Deadland

Nerdist has officially announced their schedule for #Conival, their weekend long event in San Diego alongside San Diego Comic Con! This time next week I’ll be in San Diego, attending several of the events as well as prepping to participate in a panel on Sunday, July 24th, with Inkshares CEO Jeremy Thomas, and fellow Inkshares/Nerdist author Dave Barrett! The panel is at 11:30am on the main stage, and it is free to attend! So if you’re going to be in the area, make sure to stop by and hang out!

If you are unable to attend, but live in Orlando, Florida, or are able to travel to Orlando, a Barnes & Noble will be hosting a launch party for Welcome to Deadland on Saturday, August 6th, at 7:00pm! The address is 7900 W Sand Lake Rd, Orlando, FL 32819. I’ll be signing copies and celebrating with some of the wonderful people that believed in my book, supported my dream, and helped it come to fruition.

I hope to see many of you in the very near future!

Hearken, loyal readers and supporters! For those of you who pre-ordered paperbacks, they’ve been signed and will soon be on their way! And everyone will be receiving their e-book copies very soon...(and if the skull seems uh, weird, it will make more sense at that point in time... or you can just read THIS!)

Hello Everyone!

I know I sent out an update a few days ago, but in the days since the eBook was released to backers, and as we get closer to the official launch date and release of the physical copies, a few exciting things have happened!

Today, as I was sitting on some steps at the park trying to catch a Dratini in Pokemon Go, I received an email with a link to an article. Out Traveler has listed Welcome to Deadland as one of their Top 8 Summer Beach Reads! And not only that, it made the list alongside both Amy Schumer and the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child script!

I’m sure you can all imagine my excitement as I stared at the article in awe. I have the crew at Nerdist, Inkshares, and Girl Friday Productions to thank for all of the hard work that went into finalizing the manuscript and pushing it to be better than the day I turned it in. And I have to thank all of the backers who supported my book during its campaign. None of this would have been possible without everyone involved. (I caught the Dratini, btw).

Yesterday I received a few text messages from two of my friends’ mom. She opened with, "WTF!!!! Why did u have to kill ____________???? I liked ___________." I guess you’re doing something right when your readers can feel such a strong connection to your characters, right?! She also went on to tell me that even though she was hesitant to read the book, because zombies and terror aren’t her thing, she was sucked in from the first chapter and finished the book over the weekend. Sorry about that shark scene, tough, Ms. Julie ;)

What was awesome about her comments though were that she showed, even if you don’t think zombies are your thing, you can still enjoy the story and characters at Welcome to Deadland’s core. If you’re still hesitating over whether or not to pre-order, maybe Publisher’s Weekly, Out Traveler, or an originally skeptical and hesitant reader can help persuade you!

Come one, come all! The gates to Deadland are opening, and you don’t want to miss out.
