”Acevedo has proven once again that he is a very disturbed man--and I mean that in the absolute finest sense of the term.” Tim Dorsey, author of Atomic Lobster. Welcome to the writings of Denver author Mario Acevedo. Urban fantasy. Mystery. Crime fiction. Hard-boiled sketchiness. Sarcasm and lies. The truth only when mandated by law.
Mark your calendars. University of Doom hits the streets. The launch signing will be at the Tattered Cover-Colfax, Wednesday, July 19, 7pm. Be there or be prepared for evil-genius cyborg zombies to hunt you down.
Hex Publishers put together this awesome trailer.
And I gotta share this nice blurb by Kirkus Reviews.
But wait, there's more. I was the editor for the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers 2016 Anthology, Found, and we won the Colorado Book Awards for best anthology.
Most cool and a huge shout out to the writers and volunteers who made it possible.
I was crazy busy this year, attending a slew of big, BIG conventions this year with WordFire Press, starting with PensaCon, swinging back to the west coast for Emerald City Con in Seattle, then Planet City ComicCon in Kansas City, MO (my new favorite city outside of Denver), to Miami, then DragonCon. Shoehorned into all that I had LitFest, various other appearances, and I edited the anthology Found for the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers and co-edited another anthology for Hex Publishers. I was one mo-fo of a whirlwind.
So the big news:
First--> My newest novel, University of Doom is out, both an ebook and in trade paperback. My best endorsement so far comes from my eleven-year-old next door neighbor:
I laughed so hard, milk shot out my nose.
And--> I have a short-story in CyberWorld, from Hex Publishers. The release date is November 10, 2016, with a signing at the Tattered Cover, LoDo. The collection kicks serious ass... as does the cover.
