Kids Write about Zombies…
Wednesday, October 6, 2010
Kids write zombie stories. Adults write zombie haikus. In response to a writer talking about his recently published zombie stories, Tyree Campbell penned this interesting little thingy: scifaiku/zombieku zombie nuns whacked fingers produce better brains ~ tyree (You have to be aware that in pre-teen culture Zombies enjoy eating brains.)

Why the internet was created

Critter Problems with the Heat

Error Message Eyes: A Programmer's Guide to the Digital Soul
Keith Graham's CThreePO.com Links
I started reading Science Fiction in the 1950s. I started Writing SF in the 1960s. Then, I had a life.
Now I am retired, raising chickens and keeping bees. I am still an avid reader and I have sold about 70 stories in the last
20 years.
I have been collecting information about writing Science Fiction for many years now. Social media has replaced the Blog and
large dedicated websites, so the pages here are mostly static. I update them from time to time.
Enjoy!
