Doctor Xombie & Horror Hosts Oh My!
I just wanted to give you all a small update on how things are progressing.
The Horror Host Handbook is chugging along nicely and should be completed early to mid next year. Lots of good info in this one. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger!
I’m really excited about the Doctor Xombie short stories collection! If you’ve seen Doctor Xombie and Fiends’ ‘live’ spookshows at the Zephyrhills Home Theatre then you should really get a kick out of this collection. It’s Doctor Xombie unleashed from time and budget constraints. This has everything from small “slice-of-death” quickies to longer adventures through time and space!
Don’t forget to follow me on Twitter (@DoctorXombie) and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/pages/Roger-Boyes/463569660414374
Thanx again to all those who follow me and give me that extra encouragement to entertain. 🙂
First Steps
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank all the people who have given me their support and encouraged me in my creative projects… especially my writing. These first steps, into the bigger world of getting my first book published, have been a immense learning experience.
I can’t wait to share with you all the cool stories I have to tell. My only worry is that I won’t be able to do them justice; but that’s part of this wonderful art and as I have said these first steps have been fun and exciting.
Working a full time job takes up a lot of time so things are moving a little slow for my liking but please stick around and lend me your ears. I will not disappoint.
