~Mark Clodi

I write zombie novels, the series is "The Zombie Chronicles", if that's who you're looking for, yes, I'm that guy.

I enjoy grilling and prefer eating beef ribs over any other form of animal meat. If pig ribs tasted like bacon, I would so prefer those instead. I do this grilling thing at least once a week out on the 'man deck' as I listen to the radio each Saturday night. It's called the 'man deck' because no self-respecting woman would call that pile of planks laying on some 6x6's a 'deck'. And I do mean I grill EVERY Saturday night, rain, snow, a hundred and ten degrees or ten below; it's what keeps me sane.

I am a voracious reader of fiction, primarily science fiction, horror and fantasy (in that order of preference). So far my 'sci-fi' writing hasn't materialized, but I have high hopes to write a space opera someday.

I drink. Rum, usually, but I've been known to suck down a few beers and occasionally I delve into the realms of tequila, vodka and Long Island Iced Teas. As for drinking Cheladas, that is purely rumor and hyperbole.

Usually I smoke a stogie once a month, last year was a good year, as it was almost a bi-weekly habit. Scarcity means the cost per cigar can be higher and there is a vast difference between a ten dollar cigar and one that only costs a buck. Lately I've cut myself back to Punch Bolos, what can I say? Time are tough all over...but really I like how long they last, they are not as much of a commitment as a churchill. The taste sure beats the hell out of Swisher Sweets too.

You can find my work for free at my personal website: Ctales.com Or if you want it on your reader or tablet you can buy copies at most ebook retailers via Smashwords or at Amazon.

The lastest book I have out is called 'Fraser - The Disappearance of Michael Pitts', it does not deal with zombies, but follows a more Cthulhian type story arc. You may know the type, investigative, unknown, unspeakable horrors, a constant battle with insanity an
