“The Adventures Of Doctor Xombie And Fiends:
The Mostly True Tales Of A TV Horror Host”
by Roger L Boyes
If you enjoy reading the book please LEAVE A REVIEW on Amazon or Goodreads.
(Reviews really help independent authors who don’t have big publisher behind them to spread the word. Thank you.)
I sat down and its suddenly 7 hours later. Where did the time go?
I think it rained while my mind was elsewhere too. Hmmmmm
Here’s what I was working on though so it was totally worth it.
I did some small edits and pretty much finished the layout in InDesign (which is formatted for a 6×9 book).
I’m still not sure about pictures but I still have time to think on that.
Working on the cover blurb too:
Here it is so far (just remember things may change):
The action-packed spooky adventures of alien horror host Doctor Xombie and his strange assortment of friends are here for you to thrill to. Read along as they encounter weird monsters and crack jokes & puns along the way.
Macabre tales included are about what happened when homicidal Lord Arken escaped his prison planet, Doctor Xombie was late for a big funeral, and Vegetablemen invaded the small town of Zephyr-kills.
You also get the story of when Granny Ghoul tried to find the perfect rock for Doctor Xombie’s spooky garden, Friday’s quest for the perfect peanuts, and Hannah Banana the gorilla’s antics, when they took the local flea market by storm.
What do the Brigade want with Granny’s new skull and why can’t Mr. Dan keep Doctor Xombie’s hearse clean? These questions and more might be answered in these very pages. Probably.
Will Doctor Xombie and Fiends finally realize the true meaning of life and why we are all here? Not even close, but with their macabre sense of humor they’ll save the Earth from alien invaders and other threats to humanity.
If you love horror hosts, sci-fi, comedy, and macabre humor then you’ll want to grab this unique and exciting tome with both cold clammy hands.
So this is just another small update to let you all know that the book will be out by the end if the year… but probably much sooner. Keep checking out the Facebook page and here at www.XombieInk.com

Greetings,
So I use a Fitbit to keep myself challenged and motivated to do some exercise. It doesn’t always work but it has proven very useful for a lazy bones like me. Most weeks I join in with some friends to a challenge called the “Workweek Hustle” to see who can get the most steps in during a Monday to Friday stretch.
I have been getting back into what I use to love to do. And that is creating more artwork. Recently I’ve come to realize that my creativeness is tied in with my happiness in a lot of ways. I don’t know how I wandered off course but sadly it happened. Well I’m creating more and see my happiness increasing as well. What a wonderful feeling.
Now back to the exercise bit… One of my goals is trying to improve my “comic book style” drawing skills. A couple of my friends are trying the same as well. I thought that if I combined these two things that it might be a great motivator for everyone. So I came up with the “Workweek Drawing Challenge”.
Here were the “rules”:
Post ONE (1) drawing each day of the work week (MON-FRI). That’s 5 drawings in all. Quick sketches or just a simple gesture drawing. We all want to improve and this should be a good motivator. Post SOMETHING to keep in practice and start a habit. No judging just constructive criticism IF you request it when you post.
Well, we tried it out.
(I jump started Thursday and Friday of last week because I was so excited, but sadly I was told that they didn’t count. The reasons were: First because I had done TWO drawings instead of ONE and Second that I couldn’t start early. There are friends for you. HEHE.)
Anyway we are just wrapping things up and I think I can safely say that it was a big success and that we all had a lot of fun. We have new drawings and ideas that we wouldn’t have created other wise.
If you try out the challenge with your friends let me know. I’d love to hear about it or suggestions on any other ‘art challenge’ that got you motivated.
Thanks for reading.
I’ll leave you with a few of my workweek doodles… (all drawn on scrap paper using an ink pen on breaks at work)
