About Me:

I’ve been a professional writer since 1978 and am the author of over 20 books (fiction and nonfiction), original Internet programs, 1100-plus articles, plays, short stories, etc.

I am a multiple Bram Stoker Award winner. My novels include GHOST ROAD BLUES (winner of the 2006 Stoker for Best First Novel), DEAD MAN'S SONG, and BAD MOON RISING (Pinnacle Books), and PATIENT ZERO (due from St Martins Press in March 2009). My nonfiction books include VAMPIRE UNIVERSE, THE CRYPTOPEDIA (winner of the 2007 Stoker for Best Nonfiction), ZOMBIE CSU: The Forensics of the Living Dead (due August 2008), THEY BITE (due 2009) and VAMPIRE HUNTERS AND OTHER ENEMIES OF EVIL (due 2010).

Recently I co-created (with Laura Schrock) ON THE SLAB, an entertainment news show for ABC Disney Stage 9, to be released on the Internet in October 2008.

I’ve also just signed with Universal Pictures to write the novelization of the new remake of THE WOLF-MAN, which is being filmed right now with Benecio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt, and Hugo Weaving.

I'm developing more Internet shows (fiction and nonfiction), video games, and other products.

My agents are shopping various products of mine around for feature film, TV, comics, games and the Net.

I'm a frequent guest lecturer and workshop leader for writers conferences (speaking on Book Pitching, Writing Fight & Action Scenes, Breaking into Publishing, etc.); genre conferences, and general business (on using creativity to enhance business performance).

I’ve also written a number of nonfiction books on martial arts and self-defense; I hold an 8th degree black belt in jujutsu, and am an inductee into the International Martial Arts Hall of Fame.

WHEN WARPED MINDS MEET

One of the things I love best about the writing biz is the ‘author appearance’. Whether it’s a book signing, a lecture, a panel discussion, or a reading, I love either being in t

Bram Stoker Award-winner Jonathan Maberry’s PATIENT ZERO, in which a Baltimore police detective is recruited by a secret government organization to help stop a group of terrorists from launching a weaponized plague against America that turns its citizens into zombies, to Jason Pinter at St. Martin’s, in a three-book deal, by Sara Crowe of Harvey Klinger, Inc.

In Philly, at the Rosenbach Museum, all of Stoker's research notes for Dracula are on display. Reading them makes for a fascinating experience.

At 3:13am on June 21, 2007, Breanda Cross said…: Jonathan, Glad to be here. I thought I read somewhere that Bram Stoker's Dracula was actually a comment on public conscience of the times and had social sub texts. Any comment? B

Hopefully we'll catch up soon!

Hi Gang,
Today, I've got a new Killer Career excerpt up at http://acmeauthorslink.blogspot.com/ . This one continues from the first excerpt I posted on Monday at http://makeminemystery.blogspot.com/

If you're curious about my recently released romantic suspense, come on over to one or both blogs to check it out.

Thanks,
Morgan

Time Out for Kindle Reading

Our local library has 8 kindles available for its patrons. The DH and I both got on the waiting list, mainly so I could use one. His number was reached and we picked up the kindle on Sunday afternoon. Now I've got a kindle to read for 2 weeks! So far I'm really loving it, especially the current book I'm reading, My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.

What about you? Do you own a kindle? Or, have you tried someone else's? Would you like to?

Who's Doing Cyber Monday?

I'm very carefully going to check out the Cyber Monday deals. I have a few items in mind that I plan to buy, but it would be very nice if they'd go on sale and save me some money. I won't be spending much. Can't afford to do so this year.

What about you?

Did You Shop on Black Friday?

There's still time to take the poll to the left about what you ate at Thanksgiving.
About Black Friday -
The DH despises mob scenes, but my brother and I do love the adventure of shopping on Black Friday. We weren't courageous enough to get up at the crack of dawn, though, so we did miss out on a few goodies, like the snuglee blankets and pots and pans sets at Menards, and some other items. I did manage to get some work gloves at almost 50 cents each pair, and a boot/shoe dryer which sounded interesting and was less than $9.00. The biggest extravagance there was this turntable with MP3 encoding/AM FM radio combination thing, but that was only $49.00, which isn't too bad. I didn't go for any of the high ticket items.

I didn't do too bad, but do have some Staples rebates to send in. They're pretty easy to do online, so I don't mind doing them. I bought some USB flash drives, batteries, and CD rewrites there.

I also bought a reversible light grey, almost white bubble coat and some grey boots at Walmart, both items $7.00 each, which I plan to use walking Rascal.

What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of deals did you get?

So, this year I was pretty practical, but it was still fun and I did get a few things I hadn't expected to find.

What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of finds did you get?
