New interviews and events coming up for Vegan Rev with zombies!
Lots going on with Vegan Revolution with Zombies. I didn't realize how many people read Ecorazzi! It started with a interview done by bizarro author and activist Mickey Z. It appeared on the discovery channel's planet green website with the title "The Vegan Revolution will start with Zombies." then it seemed a dozen other eco and veg websites reposted a full-up article on Ecorazzi. Cool, thanks to all the people who re-posted it. This is a DIY project, with a independent publisher so we need a the help we can get!
Check out the articles:

I have a novella in the upcoming Bizarro Starter Kit
The third bizarro Starter Kit is coming out soon and it will have a new novella I wrote called "Punkupine Moshers of the Apocalyse." Think of it as Tolkien fantasy meets decline of the western civilization.
If you have not seen the starter kit it's like an athnology but instead of short stories they are longer pieces and and it is sold dirt cheap so you have inexpensive way to check out new authors. I wexcited because I share this book with some good friends and great authors.
the book includes Jeff Burk, Cameron Pierce, Cody Goodfellow, Matthew Revert, Kris Saknussemm, Russell Edson, Andrew Goldfarb, Garrett Cook, and Athena Villaverde.
on a side note: My short story collection Screams from a Dying World is nominated for a wonderland award for best collection. Two of the other nominees Cody Goodfellow, and Matthew Revert will also be in the starter kit.
This book is on the way to the printer, I'll let you know when it is for sale.

Three novels on the way this year!
Hey there, just wanted to give you an update on what is going on with my novels for the next year. First I wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who bought, borrowed or found another way to read Vegan Revolution…with Zombies. I really had fun writing that book and promoting it has also been an adventure. Thank you for supporting the book and helping me promote for an artist at my level word of mouth is crucial.
So I have three more books due out from various imprints of Eraserhead press. Each one is very different from each other and I think if you enjoyed my collection Screams from a Dying World you could get a hint of the range I am shooting for over time with the novels. Here is a short preview of the books.
March/ April 2011
Hunting the Moon Tribe
After years of delay I have a firm date for the first novel I wrote Hunting the Moon Tribe. It’s an epic Wuxia Pan (Chinese kungfu fantasy) horror crossover. Bram Stoker award winning author Lisa Morton who wrote that awesome Castle of Los Angeles..."I've never read (or seen) anything like it, and HUNTING THE MOON TRIBE should mark Mr. Agranoff as one of the most original and exciting new voices to emerge in genre fiction in a dragon's age." Or the bizarro author Jordan Krall had this to say "Agranoff not only dazzles us with breathtaking action scenes and vampire violence but also tugs at our heartstrings with realistic family drama and romance. It’s a scary martial arts fantasy that will please just about everyone. David Agranoff is a gifted storyteller.”
Summer 2011
Goddamn Killing Machines
This a military Science Fiction novel in the tradition of the Dirty Dozen, The Forever War and Starship Troopers.
GKM is the story of a team of military contractors in 22nd century who are wanted around the various planets and colonies of human expansion for various war crimes. They are given a deal. Kill one target and all is forgiven. The problem is the target is the one member of their team they fear and he is hiding the most hostile planet known to humanity.
Somewhere along a river eleven times the length of the amazon on planet filled with vicious wildlife is the greatest psychopath these professional killers have ever known. If they can survive this epic journey they met yet discover the horrible truth behind their mission.
Fall 2011
Bootboys of the Wolfreich
It’s the summer of 1989 sixteen year small town anti-racist Skinhead Paul Jackson is moving with his family to Chicago. He is excited to hang-out,drink beer, fight and go to shows with the big city skins. The SHARPS were winning the turf with the Nazis from the Westside suburbs.
Sonny is smarter than your average Nazi skinhead, he is tired of losing battle after battle in the streets with the SHARPS. After their leader is put in prison an old man with thick German accent walks into their lives, he brings with him the message of thousand year Reich and magical wolfskin.
Overnight their evil ideas and desire for belonging turns them into monsters with a appetite for flesh. The tide starts turning as bodies of mangled rude boys, skins and straight edgers turn up around the northside of Chicago.
