"How Green This Land, How Blue This Sea" is out today!

It's July, and you know what that means: a new Newsflesh novella! This year's release is "How Green This Land, How Blue This Sea," in which Mahir Gowda travels to Australia and tries to come to terms with the fact that people are people everywhere in the world.

If you've been missing the world of Feed, and have $2.99 to spare, this is the adventure for you! (I know, I know, "if you have three bucks, this is awesome" isn't the best marketing slogan in the world, but it's what I can come up with before eight o'clock in the morning. Work with me.)

Mahir! Air travel! Zombie kangaroos! This novella has everything, and it should have you. Available now in the US and Canada, July 17th in the United Kingdom.

Newsflesh novella, yay!

One small nitpick for future consideration when writing Mahir - you had him refer to the season between summer and winter as "Fall", which is a name that's not used at all in England. It's "Autumn" on all occasions and anyone saying "Fall" would be regarded as a bit weird and trying to be American.

Brilliant story though. One of the things I loved about Feed was the world-building and the idea of a well-thought out and cleverly considered society that had developed from our own under the stresses of zombies. It was beautiful to get to explore another alternate future that started from the same place and same impetuses, but ended up somewhere different.

That was actually intentional, believe it or not: he's been writing for a predominantly American site for a very long time, and in the US, "Autumn" is mostly a girls' name, not a season. So he's got a few words that have slipped meanings for him, as a consequence of the work he does.

I'm so glad you liked it.
