Were there any particular reasons why you chose "David Wong" to be your pen-name? And was choosing that name quick and easy, or something you had to mull over for a while until it seemed right?
David Wong
It was the name of a character in a story I wrote back in college (a Chinese crime boss) and when they invented the internet I started using it as a username as an inside joke to the one other person in the world familiar with that story. Eventually that's how everyone knew me and changing it would have badly confused my readers.

David Wong:
I am a huge fan of your. Thanks for friending me, I know it's meaningless in the long run, but cool of you nonetheless. Do you ever do book signings? I have all your books including the Permuted Press of John Dies. It would be cool to meet you and say thanks in person.
