Today’s State News (Michigan State Univ.’s award-winning student newspaper) gave us some amazing coverage of last Tuesday night’s Zombie Night at Schuler of Lansing! They even supplemented it online with a photo gallery (that includes images of a number of costume contest winners) and a video clip. We knew the party was a hit from how many requests we’ve already had for Zombie Night 2010, but this is sweet icing on the cake.

To kill a zombie, you’ll need a shotgun or a blunt object to remove the head or destroy the brain. But to attract zombies to a party, you’ll need a DJ, a costume contest, film screening and zombie pinup photographs.
Schuler Books and Music at Eastwood Towne Center, 2820 Towne Centre Blvd., in Lansing, brought all these things and more together Tuesday night for their first zombie party, attracting zombie fanatics (many of whom were dressed as zombies themselves) from all across the Lansing area.

Local fantasy writer makes girls kick butt in latest book, series
by Bill Castanier
Lansing fantasy writer Jim C. Hines and his “twisted sisters” are back with Hines’ new book, “The Mermaid’s Madness,” which tells what really happened to a young mermaid who saves the life of a handsome prince.
The book is the second in a series of wayward looks at traditional “princesses,” which includes the likes of Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White, whom Hines calls literary “Charlie’s Angels.” They all play major roles in Hines’ new book and get in the swim of things to save the “merfolk.”

Mich. Author Jeffrey Zaslow currently has 2 books on the bestseller lists, and will be at our Lansing location tonight at 7 p.m. for a talk and signing! Click here for more information!
If there’s one person that BookExpo America attendees might be clamoring to see this weekend, it’ll be Chelsey Burnett Sullenberger, aka “Captain Sully,” the US Airways pilot who brought Flight 1549 to a safe emergency landing on the Hudson River back in January and will be telling his story thanks to a book deal with William Morrow. Highest Duty is scheduled for publication this fall, which means time is of the essence—and that’s one of the key reasons Sullenberger has turned to Wall Street Journal columnist Jeffrey Zaslow to co-author the memoir.
