Hey guys,
As some of you may have heard on the podcast of FTL, DROP DEAD GORGEOUS (my apocalyptic zombie horror novel) is available now!
It isn't *strictly* a libertarian-themed novel. However, the recurring themes of power struggle and human nature in the face of disaster do pop up! Come on - where better to consider a voluntary society in action than during an apocalypse!
Anyway, here's the blurb. I'd love to hear what you guys think of the book - it's available throughout the US at BORDERS/ WALDENBOOKS or from the following list of online sellers (I've tried to incorporate the FTL codes in the AMAZON links - can someone make sure they work okay?):
