So news. Last weekend I returned to ye olde hometowne of Moline, Illinois for a signing at the restaurant Barley and Rye pictured here:

 
(Huh. Who is that magnificent jerk?)

Somewhere around a hundred people came to the event (our host stopped counting around 80). Those who had already bought there copies got them signed and we gave about 30 more to those who made a donation to Children’s Therapy Center of the Quad Cities raising $602 for children with special needs. Thank you for everyone who came out to support me and my silly little novel including...
 

Family

 

Childhood friends.

My first theater director.

 

Former Kung Fu instructors bearing gifts.

 

 

The man partially responsible for my love of Halloween as demonstrated in the picture he brought...
  

(Seen here: Jim wearing a Punisher costume before that was an actual thing you could do.)

And more...

 

 

Again thank you one and all! Now, if you’ll excuse me I think there are a few more of those blood-spatter cookies left.

 

(Pictured here: Yum!)
