Third UK order this week, but this order is magic. She started reading PZR excerpts online in 2016. Been following this story a longggg time. She rallied me forward, urged me to publish and has been there every step of the way. She’s mentioned in the acknowledgements. 🐆❤️‍🔥

Power of socials!

Haha. Thanks. 🥰😘 I’ve barely tried to build it but I’m gonna get it together and send whats-ups. I’m too dependent on these platforms to stay in contact and it’s not the same as a letter. 💌

pinkzombierose@gmail is the sign up or thru my site. Should offer it as a pop up.

Fantastic!
Bookthreads user 1h There was a very creative protest in Monrovia, California recently. Thousands of people went to the Home Depot to purchase an ice scraper for $.17 and then got in line to return the scraper. Had to close the Home Depot down for the day. I'm down to close our Home Depot in New Orleans if we want to do the same. I doubt they sell ice scrapers here, but I'm sure we could find some other product to purchase and return and jam up their day. I would love to see this go national with an online protest. pinkzombierose now • Author Oh! I hadn't heard about this! And it's a wonderful non violent form of protest. ageekymom 26m Use a credit card! They pay a fee. Return it onto your credit card. Also a fee. Rumor has it HD doesn't have a minimum for credit cards.That HD had to close for the day.

Another problematic press. 😤
pinkzombierose © › graveside press now Watching this graveside press sitch closely. 👀 I hope that other authors are wiser after seeing these kinds of blow ups. Would you hand a baby to someone you didn't fully vet? It's tempting to avoid indy or query, because it seems exhausting, and you just want help, but imagine how hard things will be if that press is more of a hindrance? It can crush a dream and destroy a publishing journey. Be careful, writers, there's more at stake than you realize. Like your whole damn heart. 🥀🫀

Oops! Sorry. Here’s alt text!
No l've been accused of talking like a children's book for years it really wasn't that much different like everything I say is correct but not feeling sincere I have been called less than human most of my life I could list everything that dehumanized me to the point where if I really thought about it I could just curl up into a ball and wait to die. pinkzombierose 3m What do they mean by that? I gave compulsive rhyming to my autistic twins. (Characters) Mainly to justify my own impulse towards children's book cadence. (TBC, I am autistic myself.)

She’s so pretty. 😍 l love the Beppi art on this cover. The way the twins are locked in on each other and smirking.

Great way to support Pink Zombie Rose AND your local bookstore, plus they often end up adding a second copy for the store while they’re at it. Thank you, Daniel! 💀🥀🍄‍🟫📚⚛️

She has 430k following but took the time for this exchange and offered to help me. Big props to an artist like that.

Here’s the alt text of the full public exchange.

Caitlin Hackett is the artist.
pinkzombierose 2h Quick question - two of em. 1) Do you ever do custom pieces? 2) do you think this would work as a pink rose? caitlin_hackett 43m • @pinkzombierose Hi! I don't really do any custom costume jobs at this point since I'm only a hobbyist myself, my day job is as a tattoo artist! But you could definitely do a rose version, it would just be a different arrangement of the petals, and of course a different paint job but I'm sure it would look good! Feel free to shoot me an email I'd be happy to chat more about potentially creating one or just giving some advice and ideas for making it (email link is in my profile) pinkzombierose 5m @caitlin_hackett yay! Thank you! I have to do all these public events for the series and I'm dreading it. I'd feel much better with giant fangs. 😂😂🤣

So many people told me they couldn’t possibly put out food, for this reason or that, but Costco does it.
pinkzombierose © › Meijer 23h When you realize employees are eating trash, stop trashing food. Set up a snack table in the break room, start bagging food and sending it home with employees. Oh, and PAY THEM MORE, YA PIGS. THEY ARE HUNGRY! + I worked inside a Costco (not as a Costco employee) and they always put out fruit and stuff from the bakery in our break room. It was greatly appreciated by all of us.

Do YOU have a budget for personal security? I sure don’t! Furthermore, I don’t have health care. Many of us are in such a precarious position that an injury from police brutality would lead to catastrophic downfall, lost jobs, lost health insurance, hungry family ect. The elected? It’s their job!
pinkzombierose © 7/23/25 This is where we're at? 5k a month? I live on less than that. Way less. • .. geege6363 7/23/25 Just read that a new pilot program will give 20K for lawmakers to beef up security in their homes and 5k per month for personal protection through the end of the year...

pinkzombierose now Huh? Only an oxymoron would say this. • •• eric_jaap 3d We need more conservative punk rockers and artistic people. pinkzombierose now .. . The reason that doesn't exist: To be a punk, or a truly brilliant artist, you gotta have an open mind that doesn't allow for conservatism.

Um, did I unconsciously lift from Time Out of Joint? 🌽 C’mon PKDicks, I summon you.
Pink Zombie Rose is set in Ohio and the corn can hear your thoughts. Kernels are transistors. Like PKDick but make it Ohio. ... e.r.browning › Bookthreads 5h Because yall are so mean, I'm gonna write an entire fantasy series set in Ohio. Get ready for magic corn. 01 Q4 sandycassandy 2h I think PKD wrote a book a bit like that with Time Out of Joint but it's been so long since I read it. pinkzombierose 1h Hm. l've read so many of his books. I went through a pkd binge phase. I hope I didn't steal the corn from him. 1 Q1 • • . sandycassandy 1h Same which is why l'm not sure if you did or not lol.

I didn’t know what song this meme was talking about so I asked a friend and got this in response, which I do recall now from childhood. WTF. Whyyyyy? Now it’s stuck in my head. And maybe yours too. You’ve been Rasputin- rolled
Just learned that Rasputin's grandchildren were alive in 1978. Imagine hearing a song on the radio about how severely your granddad fucks pinkzombierose - What song?
