It may never see the light of day, but having just sent off the (overly?) bulky fourth draft of All-Day Breakfast, I'm now working like a demon on a book trailer, which likely won't go up for 8 or 9 months so that it'll be as new and exciting as possible just as the book hits shelves.

by Otto Penzler (Goodreads Author)
read in May, 2013
I would love to go straight back to the beginning and start this whole book again, but I don't have a year to spare just now -- still have to finish Penzler's adventure anthology.
The Amazing Screw-on Head and Other Curious Objects by Mike Mignola
I am a big fan of Mignola's work, and even then was happily surprised at the scale of inventiveness and pure charming entertainment on display here. Raise a glass, gentleman, to Screw-On Head and Mr Groin.
