Waves of Undead: The Soft Launch

The fictional events of Waves of Undead took place between June 30–July 1, 2018—making this the perfect time to soak up those summer vibes…before all hell breaks loose. Here’s what to expect from my staggered book launch.

03 June 2025 

As of today, June 3rd, I will begin taking preorders here on my website for paperbacks sustainably printed at Hemlock Printers. Signed copies and book bundles will be available exclusively on my website, as well as greeting card reproductions of some of my paintings.

14 June 2025

Paperback preorders will begin shipping out. If you order a book bundle, be prepared for a special unboxing experience!

15 June 2025

My first in-person event! Vancouver friends, skip the shipping and meet me at End Times Garage Sale. I may or may not be dressed like I belong at the end of times… 

Ebooks are on the horizon

Waves of Undead will hit Amazon Kindle + Kindle Unlimited this month. After 90 days on KU, I’ll likely creep into other ebook platforms. Stay tuned.

Date to be announced 

Prefer ordering through Amazon? I’ve got you.

Print-on-demand paperback copies will also be available through Amazon. No extra goodies, no signature—just the book, shipped fast and fresh (unlike the undead).

Date to be announced.

Why both locally printed and print-on-demand (POD)?

Because it’s important to me to find a balance between sustainability and accessibility. 

The locally printed edition is produced on FSC-certified paper by one of the greenest print shops in North America: Hemlock Printers. This reflects my hope to be an environmentally conscious author and creator. 

At the same time, I want to make the book available to readers beyond my region at a fair price. Print-on-demand helps with that — it allows for more affordable shipping and makes the book accessible on platforms like Amazon, where pricing structure and logistics differ.

By offering both options, I hope to meet readers where they are — whether you value the premium feel and eco-consciousness of the local edition, or prefer the convenience and reach of POD.

This is phase one of the outbreak. Are you ready?
