Blog Talk with Paranormal Palace Radio
Great talk tonight with Royce Holleman (ex-Marine and host of Paranormal Palace Radio) about my fiction collection, The President’s Parasite and Other Stories, and a lot more (it was almost two hours).
Asians Rule the Wild West of the Future in “Zinggong”
My new audio short story, “Zinggong” will be available for purchase tomorrow at Sniplits.com. It’s the story of a future where the Pan-Asian rulers vacation in the Wild West of the United States, and their entertainers consist of genetically engineered “cowboys and outlaws” and slave labor American humans who cater to the tourist droves from Asia. In other words, Pan-Asia now owns our country, and “Zinggong” (means “palace on tour” in Chinese) is the place where Asians can now rest and relax from all their wars and other work. San Diego Detective, Julien Gaston, belongs to a group of freaks who can remember things, and he sets out to mount a rebellion against the Pan-Asian rulers. How does he accomplish it? He enlists the aide of some rather attractive and dynamically war-like “duplicant” women, who can do things he only dreams about.
New Banner for Book Promo Tour
Here’s the promotional banner for my volume of short fiction featured on my July blog book tour:
Controversy Over “Fireman” Story at The Writer’s Eye Magazine
The editor had an interesting blurb about my story at “The Writer’s Eye.” I’m kind of glad it has stirred up some controversy: it was meant to!
“A quick note about Efraim Z. Graves’ story, ‘The Fireman.’ Living in California, as I do, with all the wildfires currently raging throughout the state, I was tempted to pull the story from publication. It’s a story that’s almost too close to home. Yet, it’s a good read, and we have to remember that it’s fiction. The premise of the story is not, in any way, a reflection of this magazine’s opinion: we greatly appreciate the men and women of paid and volunteer fire departments throughout the state who brave personal injury to save lives, properties, and the wild. Enuff said. Happy reading!”
New Blog for The President’s Parasite Blog Tour!
I now have a new blog for those who want to travel around with me in July as I visit different blogs, talk to folks, and plug my new volume of short stories.
Blog Tour in July
I’ll be doing a month-long Blog Tour for my book of short stories, The President’s Parasite and Other Stories in July. You can follow me around the Web by looking at my tour schedule, and you can also get archives of my presentations and Q & A.
