I was at Linda's store, sorting books, and one thing struck me as truly amazing. It's incredible how some authors just keep on writing, even after they're dead. You got to admit, that takes a lot of deadication.

Robert Ludlum, for instance, is more prolific now that he's dead than he was when he was alive. Just can't let a cash cow die, you know. Got to prop him up and stuff him.

I told Linda this, and she just scoffed, "Oh, is he still dead?"

Any other zombie authors you can think of?

L. Ron Hubbard? Robert E. Howard.

Assuming that L. Ron Hubbard is 1) an author, and 2) is really dead. ;)
