Have the publishers not tried to list books on Play.com? I see so many great books on Amazon, but I always go to Play because of free postage and guaranteed great service. Peter Mark May's books are on there (via Vanguard Press - who are a vanity publisher) - so I'm surprised others arn't. Amazon also gives free postage, and I've never had a problem with them. The same goes for www.bookdepository.co.uk/ who also discount many books.

Right. You and Remy - this ain't a PR fest. Plug yer books by all means, but please get involved with the forum, lest you be accused of spamming. ... I do post other comments. They just fade away into the background. I know you do, sir. ;D Just a little wind-up. Now have a karma (but it's from Play.com, not Amazon).

This review of Dead Beat was in Gorezone Magazine yesterday;
‘Old people smell like mould.’ Can’t go wrong with an opening sentence like that. Dead Beat gives a few clues away in its title. Yes there’s a cop. Yes there’s an end-of-the-world zombie Armageddon scenario. Dead Beat takes a few liberties ...with tired conventions (hints of conspiracy there are in places) in what is essentially yet another first-person book-long description of zombie Armageddon. Remy Porter writes at a brisk pace, with enough command of characterisation to make us warm to the characters. There’s a lively wit to his style, even though when it comes to the horror there’s little here that will make your skin crawl. Dead Beat is a ‘seen it, done it’ title, but zombie fans will find it far better than most examples of its kind.

Good recent review by Gregory Solis, author of Rise and Walk;
'The story and characters were top notch. Like another great Zombie author, Joe McKinney, Porter works in Law Enforcement. His real-life experience is evident in his portrayal of the Policeman protagonist. I found his characterization of Johnny, the Officer, to be very believable. He was tough but not superhuman. He's just a man trying to keep some order during the flesh-eating apocalypse. The villain of the work is a bastard of the first order. Porter does a great job at giving us an antagonist, and his provincial prick of a son, that the reader will quickly hate. This book is paced well, has the gore that zombie fans will love, and includes some really creepy scenes. I highly recommend Dead Beat.'
