The story of Noah's Ark is as old as the Bible.The story of Steve's Ark is as old as the book in your hand.What would happen if Noah were to return to earth today? Well, okay, maybe not Noah, because he's still dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder from the last adventure, but Steve, an inept celestial underling with a thing for Elvis Presley and a regular misunderstanding of the English language. What would happen if Steve traveled to earth today, assigned by his celestial superiors to prepare for watery chaos? Would he accomplish his mission? Or would he fall prey to human appetites and temptations - money, love, guns, peanut butter, and a Kardashianesque craving for fame and attention - and end up just another dismantled deity on the divine scrap heap of humanity?

Ron Watson, former playboy, newly minted Internet celebrity, and zombie, has settled into a mundane everyday lifestyle in Las Vegas with his pregnant zombie girlfriend Maria, his rebellious teenaged daughter Stella, and his favorite bar, Carnaval Court, where his best friend Jim and all of his goofy flair bartender pals can be found. Life - or death, as befits his zombie status - is nice and boring.Until it isn't. Werewolves, rogue Elvis impersonators, and poopy diapers conspire to threaten Ron's idyllic not-quite-human existence. Meanwhile, rumors of a zombie antidote abound, Stella's very existence is threatened, and Jim is kidnapped and taken to a library, leading Ron to wonder: Who the f*** goes to libraries anymore? And if I don't get shot in the head trying to save everybody, can I eventually learn how to be a family zombie? Or is there another destiny for me? Muscle cars, seven seconds of sex, reality television, a delicious hazelnut spread, and bro-country music collide in this sequel to the best-selling - okay, better-selling - okay, so we sold a few copies - zombie comedy, American Badass (soon to be a feature film!). So pull up a barstool, order a cocktail from your favorite flair bartender, settle in, and enjoy. BRAINS!

Ron Watson wakes up one day to find himself dead. Yes, after an unplanned and unfortunate meeting on a Colorado highway with a semi-trailer truck carrying disposable diapers for orphaned babies, Ron Watson is now an everyday, run-of-the-mill divorced American zombie, with exactly two thoughts in his head: "Brains!" and "Vegas!" Sin City, land of dreamers, where Ron Watson goes to dream of being human again and to fit in amongst the drunken tourists, down-on-their-luck beggars and lights so bright that nobody will notice a zombie shuffling around. But Las Vegas has other plans for Ron, as it often does for its visitors, and once there he discovers that he may not be the Last Zombie Standing, becomes an Internet meme for no reason at all, and gets drunk, laid, and fed...all while struggling with age old questions: Can a zombie date a human without wanting to turn the human into a meal? Can a zombie be an adequate parent? Do zombie joke punchlines translate in a human world? Is modern celebrity status as vacuous, hollow, and fleeting as it appears? And most importantly, is it better to be human or zombie? The answer may surprise you. "Poignant, funny, and edgy. In his debut novel American Badass, Jeff Chacon takes us on a wild trip to Las Vegas. Instead of fear and loathing, we get humor and heart." - Jonna Gjevre, author of Requiem in La Paz. "Think you know all about zombies? Think again. In Chacon's mind they are principled, loyal friends and fathers with more than brains on their minds. And they are funny-above all else they are hilariously funny. Part zombie, part comedy, part social commentary, American Badass says as much about the living as it does the reanimated." - Jack Maness, author of Song of the Jawhawk "Ron Watson is my new hero. Sure, he's dead, but he's evolving (re-volving?). He eats only people we'd want him to eat, has enough couth to duct tape his own body parts together, and is trying to patch up old relationships - inadvertently forcing the question: Is it better to be a bad human or a good zombie? Strap in, bitches. This fresh, funny, irreverent Z-ride goes to 11." - Floyd Jones, author of the forthcoming novel Blueberry "I don't have to read it, I was sitting next to Jeff at Carnaval Court when he came up with everything." - Anthony Reynoso, co-author of E-Male: of Mouse and Men "BRAINS." - Ron Watson, Zombie

"A rewarding and highly literate novel." -The New York Review of Science Fiction Isobel Linden would like to forget her tragic past, but the past has followed her all the way to Bolivia. When the former violin prodigy shatters a statue of the demon Tio, she receives a visit from Death himself. Trouble is, she's seen Death before. She can't outrun him forever. Praise for Requiem in La Paz "Jonna Gjevre writes complex, elegant fantasy with a beguiling voice. Requiem in La Paz is a dark and lyrical tale. Isobel Linden is a musical prodigy with a very unusual instrument, a tragic past, and a disturbing secret. Trust me when I tell you that you want to read this book." -Kelly McCullough, author of the WebMage and Fallen Blade series "[Gjevre is] an accomplished prose stylist whose language invariably rises to the occasion, whether she's depicting the beauty of a well-played concerto or the horror of an encounter with Death personified." -The New York Review of Science Fiction
