     "It was one hell of a day, and that’s saying a lot where I’m from. It began as cliché as one might expect when living in the nine circles of Satan’s abyss. My girlfriend dumped me, my dogs ran away from home, and work gave me the pink slip. Things were looking dismal. If only I knew then that by this time tomorrow I’d be back on Earth, I might not have been so whiny."

What an amazing time had at Bucket O' Blood Books and Records. It's always a lot of fun to do a book signing in the city that you're writing about. I met some great Chicago based readers and fans. We talked about "The Devil in the Wide City", "Consumed" and some of my favorite authors as well. A special thanks to Grant and Jeni. What a great Indy Bookstore you two run.
