dancinghorseWith publishing essentially moribund and the economy in the crapper, what's an authors' co-op to do?
Elementary, my dear Watson.
BOOK VIEW CAFE WELCOMES WALKING DEAD!
April 1, 2010
For Immediate Release
The Book View Cafe authors are delighted to welcome our newest author members...the Walking Dead!
With proven staying power, backlists of books that have never gone away, and awards too numerous to mention, these authors will re-energize and re-shape the cafe in ways never before imagined!
In honor of these new additions to the Cafe lineup, the Cafe's front page will be dedicated to the finest work of these authors, newly returned to prominence and the surface of the earth.
"With the internet, print on demand and civilization-ending environmental catastrophy bringing so many exceptional authors back to life, as it were, we saw a real opportunity," said Sarah Zettel, Book View Cafe's Managing Director.
When asked why she decided to rise from the grave to join the ebook revolution and zombie apocalypse, Margaret Mitchell said, "I swore, as God is my witness, I would never go hungry again. With Google Maps to help me find the best concentrations of fresh brains, I can keep that promise."
"The fleeing populace is a moveable feast for a young zombie," adds Ernest Hemingway. "If we can use ebooks to help ensure they have short, happy lives, why the hell not?"
But, as always, it was the father of the modern English language who put it best. Said the Bard:
"Brrraaaaaiiinnnnssss..."
To celebrate the new Brains Trust, the newly renamed Zombie View Cafe offers its three anthologies (Rocket Boy and the Geek Girls, Dragon Lords and Warrior Women, and the all-original steampunk extravaganza, The Shadow Conspiracy), on sale for $2 off. (And that's no fooling.)
