4/29/12 -- Hi, all. So, Cinco de Mayo (5/5/12) at 5:00, I will be reading and signing books at Collected Works Books, alongside (well, really I'm more of an opening act) my friend and literary hero Joe R. Lansdale. Please stop by, if you can, and say hello.

4/23/12 -- Two years ago today Angelyn left this world. I love you, honey. I miss you dearly. My Angel-Y-N.
4/19/12 -- Hola, howdy, hi. Just a quick mention that To Sleep Gently will finally be available in print very, very soon. These happy days are yours and mine.
3/29/12 -- So, yeah, Nightscape Press unveiled the cover for my new novella Butterfly Potion today, and all I can say is I'm very, very pleased.
3/28/12 -- Well, it sure has been a while, eh? I redecorated a bit (or my friend did, really). As I spend too much time of Facebook I don't get on here much to tell what's going on (that, and I'd lost my password).
So what's in the news? Two things worth mentioning. First would be the new novella I have coming out. It's called Butterfly Potion and is being published by Nightscape Press and I couldn't be more please, both with the book and with the publisher. Great folks there at Nightscape.
Hmm, I guess that's it at the moment. Hope I don't take so long between updates next time.
9/28/11 -- Hello, friends. So, many things happening, but I shall keep it limited in this little space. A Crack in Melancholy Time, the follow-up to Fractal Despondency is now available in eBook from Crossroad Press. Before too long, it shall move next door to Shadowboxer in a combined print edition. I'm hoping to convince them that it should be done like the old Ace Doubles so popular in the fifties and sixties, but we'll see. Feel free to write the publisher and suggest it.
Also, check out the trailer to A Crack in Melancholy Time. I'm quite pleased with the way this one turned out.
Also, on October 8th, I'll be doing a live podcast interview on She Never Slept. I'll be trying to sound smart, and shall do my best to whore my work.
There are other things, but, honestly, I'm drawing a blank at the moment.
8/30/11 -- Hola and hello. My novel To Sleep Gently is now available in ebook from Crossroad Press. A print version will be following shortly.
7/29/11 -- You can now also watch a trailer for Fractal Despondency HERE!
7/27/11 -- Be sure to check out the trailer for Shadowboxer HERE!
7/21/11 -- The oh so lovely Erin over at Underwords just posted a oh so lovely review of Fractal Despondency. You can read it HERE.

7/04/11 -- Happy 4th, Happy Hamsters! Just wanted to say that, however briefly it may be, Fractal Despondency has reached #16 on Amazon's Mystery Bestseller list. Let's see if we can make it even better than that!
7/02/11 -- Hola and howdy. So, Fractal Despondency is now available in paperback. This means the old school folks (myself included) can now get their hands on an actual tangible object with my name on it and my words in it. It is dedicated to my late fiance, Angelyn, who, as many of you know, passed away in April 2010. This novella is semi autobiographical but I won't tell you which parts.
Reviews so far have been very good. In my humble opinion, this means you should buy it, which you can do, currently, at Amazon or Barnes and Noble. All the cool kids are buying it. Don't you wanna be cool?
Here's what a few have said:
“Powerful and poignant; frightening and moving. A gut-wrenching allegory of self-destruction that progresses with storm force intensity from beginning to end.” —Made in DNA
“Trent Zelazny is a skilled weaver of the written word. He guides you down a path of darkness and you follow willingly. His stories haunt you long after you close the book—and you always want more!” —Sarah L. Covert, She Never Slept - News and Reviews
“Obtain Trent Zelazny's Fractal Despondency. It's your only hope of escape. Break out! Read the book!” —John Shirley
Why are you still here? Order it. Order it now!
6/24/11 -- Hey, Cats and Kittens. With Fractal Despondency only a few days away from release, Black Curtain is currently offering this "Gut-wrenching allegory of self-destruction that progresses with storm force intensity from beginning to end" (Made in DNA) in Kindle through June 26th for only a measly .99. Pretty good deal, I think. So what you waiting for?
6/03/11 -- What's that? Yes, it has been an awful long time since this site was updated. And it will be a little longer, too. Don't worry, you, you and, uh...you. There will be plenty coming soon. Stay tuned.
