We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Well, that's about it.

Update #7 · May 21, 2012 · 1 comment

To those of you who backed the project, thank you.  I'm sorry we didn't make it, and obviously the responsibility for the shortcoming is mine.  I know I've been quiet here the past two weeks, and the reason for that is that I've buckled down even tighter on getting the book finished, and I'm happy to be able to tell you that I'm going to go ahead and finish and publish the book anyway.

I will probably produce the book through Lulu.com, and publish an ebook as well.  Hopefully within the next few months, both of these will be available on Amazon.  I am in the final stretch of getting things done, now, and it's just down to when I can find the time to iron out the few remaining details.

If you want to stay up-to-date on what's going on, please jump over to www.facebook.com/zombiehunterfitness and like that page.  That's where all news about the book will be released moving forward.

Again, thank you, and I hope you'll stick around.  The journey isn't quite over yet.

New & Improved Backer Levels (everything is cheaper)

Update #6 · May 6, 2012 · comment

To those of you who have already committed to supporting the book, thank you.  I genuinely appreciate it.  Based on a comment that came in over the weekend, I have reviewed the backer levels, and decided that I overestimated the costs involved in getting things prepared and shipped.  As a result, I am adding different backer levels, and I hope that you all will review what you have signed up to receive, because you probably qualify for more, or could reduce your pledge if you feel inclined to do so.

The new levels are as follows:
$5 - Thank you postcard + ebook.
$20 - Add a copy of the printed book.
$40 - Add the supporter T-Shirt.
$60 - Add the "used" Trainer copy of the book.
$125 - Add the bat.

Once the current backers have changed their reward package, I will remove the old ones from the list to help avoid confusion for new backers.

Again, thank you for your support, and I apologize for the inconvenience.

The Outtakes Reel

Update #5 · May 5, 2012 · comment

For this update, I decided to do something silly.  We had a lot of fun making the original video and the Skull Crusher 9000 video, and these are just the bits that didn't quite go according to plan.  I'm sure no one will find half of this as funny as I do, but maybe it will make you smile, at least.

Cheers,

The Graphic Novel Style Pages

Update #4 · May 1, 2012 · comment

First of all, as of today, all of the updates will be available for public viewing.  I'll admit it, I thought keeping some of them just for backers was a good idea, but over the last week of running this thing I just haven't liked keeping bits of the project hidden.  So, from here forward, it's an open book. (Bad pun.)

We now return you to your regularly scheduled update.

When The Zombie Hunter's Guide To Physical Fitness was first conceived, I had an idea that it would all be done graphic novel style.  I wrote some pages, and said everything I felt like I could say in that form, and at the end of it I had a whopping total of 12 pages.  Obviously, that's not a graphic novel.  It's really not much more than a few sheets of paper stuck together.  3 of them, in fact.  Not enough for a book of its own.  I really like the pages, though, and I wanted to use them.  Therefore, they are being repurposed as the ZHGPF quick guide, which will be a section of the book.  This is a Monday-Saturday workout idea book, for people who don't have time to go through the entire program.  There's also a very brief intro story at the beginning.

Enjoy the samples below!
