Current Times

Titled Z it tells the story of a young man who finds that his involvement with a zombie hunting role playing game is much more than it seems. This will be followed in early 2011 by Jane Goes Batty, the second in Ford's Jane Austen-as-a-vampire trilogy for Ballantine Books.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or times:
“I have come to believe ... that the stage may do more than teach, that much of our current moral instruction will not endure the test of being cast into a lifelike mold, and when presented in dramatic form will reveal itself as platitudinous and effete. That which may have sounded like righteous teaching when it was remote and wordy will be challenged afresh when it is obliged to simulate life itself.”
—Jane Addams (1860–1935)
“The seasick passenger on an ocean liner detests the good sailor who stalks past him 265 times a day grandly smoking a large, greasy cigar. In precisely the same way the democrat hates the man who is having a better time in the world. This is the origin of democracy. It is also the origin of Puritanism.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
