Dead America - News of the Dead

Check this out! Writer Luke Keioskie has started up a new website based around the 'world' of his unpublished zombie novel Dead America. The site features news items from Dead America's alternate reality, along with fake adverts offering services, like cosmetic surgery, to zombies.

Apart from being way cool in and of itself, as a marketing vehicle to get a buzz going around his novel, this a fantastic idea. Everyone who has come across Dead America agrees this is a great premise for a novel, and I know for a fact that Luke is a skilled and original writer. Surely it can't be long before a publisher catches on too.

Not another bloody website? Oh, hang on...

...it's one of ours.

Thanks to Luke Keioskie (yeah, I can't pronounce it either) for taking the trouble to gather views and opinions, take polls, and exercise his mighty intellect on our behalf by creating the brand new Orbiteers' website. Don't bother to look because there isn't much there yet but put the link in your favourites and come back in a while - unless you're wondering who the Orbiteers are, in which case, you should sneak a peek. Ah, what the hell? Go and have a look anyway, you know you want to.
