Attention! Alert! Et Cetera!

On Thursday, March 20th, I will appear, along with many other fine authors, at Powell’s Books’ SMALLPRESSAPALOOZA small press event!

And, even though it’s not the “official release” of my new novel — HELP! A BEAR IS EATING ME! – there will in fact be copies of that novel available for sale and fondling!

Dear friends: the opportunity to use the word PENULTIMATE — go ahead, go look it up, I’ll wait here — comes far too rarely for my tastes. That’s why I’m pleased to provide you now with this, the PENULTIMATE CHAPTER of this increasingly epic podcast:

HELP! A BEAR IS EATING ME!

And dude, it is *so* PENULTIMATE! I mean, seriously! Not only is it PENULTIMATE, it’s also PEN-LONG-IMATE! That’s right, it’s the second longest chapter in the series. Long with goodness! It’s got action, it’s got suspense, and it’s got lots and lots of bears! It’s the kind of chapter that makes you turn skyward and exclaim “Thank you, Jesus, for chapters!”

In fact, if I had to pick a favorite chapter, I might pick this PENULTIMATE one — CHAPTER TWELVE!

Hi Kids! Happy Halloween! Yes, we know it’s a few days late; we’re a few days late; you too, someday, will be a few days late. And when that day comes, rest assured that I will not be the one to hassle you about the small, slight, nigh imperceptible delay in your release of CHAPTER ELEVEN of your thirteen-chapter existential nightmare comedy novel known as:

HELP! A BEAR IS EATING ME!

… but don’t name your book that, or I will be forced to sue.
