What on earth inspired your anti-hero in BITE HARD? This book is the most fun read I've had since…maybe Fool. Any movie/TV deals on the horizon?

Anonymous-9 Hi Chris, That's a helluva comparison to Christopher Moore. Thank you! It was one of those things where Dean's voice came loud and clear in my head, so I sat down and let the voice write itself. It started as a short story and I guess I just got quiet enough and alone enough to get in touch with that part of myself. Sensory deprivation is helpful when I write. I guess before the voice came, I wanted to get across the idea that no matter how weak your body is, a strong mind is the ultimate weapon. I also really like seeing bad people get punished, so I devised a man who had reason enough to get away with it.

Regarding movie and TV, if you know any producers, there is a lean, mean, and much-polished film script available for option/sale. Just message me. I also don't have an agent, so all the marketing for the film stuff is on me at present.

Thanks for asking. Chris!

Hey, I am really enjoying BITE HARDER (love Drayhardt and his assassin monkey!). I keep seeing references to LASD, which seem like they should be references to LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department). Is this a typo,or am I missing something?

Jerry asked: Will there be a book signing?

Anonymous-9 Hey! Thanks for figgering out how to pose the question on this here newfangled software... :-) Will there be a book signing? Short answer is yes. Long answer is that the e-book will come out a little ahead of the paperback so the signing may come later, say November-ish. Thanks for asking Jerry, you'll be the first to know, too.

What are you currently working on?

Anonymous-9 BITE HARDER will be out the first week of September 2014 from Blasted Heath publishers. Uncanny Books and founder Andrew Byers are about to make an exciting announcement about a deal I just signed with them. And a novelette called CRASHING THROUGH MIRRORS about a waaaay down-on-his-luck former superstar bass player is getting the noir-thumbs-up from beta readers. JT Lindroos just finished the cover. So lots is coming out soon.
