Freebies and promos on World War Moo publication day

by

Since World War Moo, the sequel to the Terry Pratchett Prize winner Apocalypse Cow, is published today, I’m running a couple of little promos in celebration.

Firstly, you can enter to win a signed and doodled copy of the book on Goodreads (entry form at the bottom of this blog).

Secondly, I am giving away a free eBook with every copy of World War Moo purchased before June 16. To get your free book (Wannabes, shortlisted for the International Thriller Writers 2015 awards, and loved by dozens), send proof of purchase to freelancelogan@fastmail.co.uk, and I will send you a download code.
To encourage you, below are some early reviews and the blurb for World War Moo. Now go forth and multibuy!
PRAISE FOR WORLD WAR MOO
“This sequel to the very funny Apocalypse Cow … is just as much fun as its predecessor and just as cleverly constructed and written” – Booklist
“Logan’s verbal pyrotechnics combine gory action sequences and offbeat characters. Perfect for connoisseurs of all things zombie and readers who enjoy a bit of dark humor mixed with their horror” – Library Journal
“Funny and twisted, definitely not your normal zombie book” – Night Owl Reviews
“If it all sounds slightly bonkers, it is — but Logan’s unique combination of bombastic action sequences, off-kilter characters, and wild-eyed scenarios should please fans of speculative fiction and horror alike” – Kirkus Reviews
WORLD WAR MOO
It began with a cow that just wouldn’t die. Yep. That’s right. They’re still infected, and now the disease has spread to humans. The epidemic that transformed Britain’s bovine population into a blood-thirsty, brain-grazing, zombie horde…err… herd… is threatening to take over the globe.
And there’s not much time left to stop it. All of Great Britain is infected and brimming with rage. The rest of the world has a tough choice to make. Should they nuke the Brits right off the map — men, women, children, cows and all — in the biggest genocide in history? Or should they risk global infection in a race against time to find a cure? 
With fanatical infected trying to escape the cursed island, and the Brits ready to defend themselves with every weapon at their disposal, including an intercontinental missile sloshing with infected blood, it may only be a matter of time before the virus gets out.
This means war.

Wannabes
Celebrities are mobbing London’s laser clinics as a deranged wannabe bumps off A-listers, believing he can absorb their powers and become famous by taping their tattoos to his body.
Washed-up pop star Jackie Thunder isn’t joining the stampede. Jackie figures that if he can get on the killer’s hit list, without the inconvenience of being murdered, he’ll gain the publicity needed to reignite his career.
But there’s more at stake than Jackie can possibly imagine. His desperate ploy for attention plunges him into the heart of a decades-old demonic plot to destroy great music through murder, mayhem and manipulation.
With humanity’s collective soul at stake, how far will Jackie go to reach the top?

Two books on the way

by

As you may know by now, the sequel to Apocalypse Cow is on its way. Entitled Apocalypse Cow: World War Moo, it will be released by St. Martin’s Press in mid-2015. Full details will emerge in good time.

However, I can reveal that Geldof and Lesley will be back – along with some new characters – as we embark on an adventure involving combat yoga, ferocious Noel Edmonds lookalikes, and cow bombs in an infected Britain about to be obliterated by an all-out international offensive.

To fill the gap in the meantime (it has been over two years since Apocalypse Cow first came out), I will be releasing an eBook in the next few months. You can read the blurb and first three chapters of this book, Wannabes, below.

The cover, final release date, and links to buy will be unveiled over the next few weeks. If any book bloggers want a review copy, drop me a line through the contacts page on my website, and I’ll send you a DRM-free eBook once the final edits and design elements are completed (likely mid-July).

Wannabes

I want my children to listen to people who fucking rocked. I don’t care if they died in puddles of their own vomit. I want someone who plays from his fucking heart – Bill Hicks

Celebrities are mobbing London’s laser clinics as a deranged wannabe bumps off A-listers, believing he can absorb their powers and become famous by taping their tattoos to his body.

Washed-up pop star Jackie Thunder isn’t joining the stampede. Jackie figures that if he can get on the killer’s hit list, without going so far as being murdered, of course, he’ll gain the publicity needed to reignite his career.

But there’s more at stake than Jackie can possibly imagine. His desperate ploy for attention plunges him into the heart of a decades-old demonic plot to destroy great music through murder, mayhem and manipulation.
