"A sumptuous Southern Gothic thriller steeped in the distinct American mythologies of Cthulhu and the blues . . . Southern Gods beautifully probes the eerie, horror-infested underbelly of the South." - The Onion AV on Southern Gods

I just thought I should repeat that.

So, a few items of note, today. First off, the Arkansas Democrat Gazette's own Phillip Martin has said some really kind things about Southern Gods over at his blog, blood, dirt & angels. This is notable because Phillip Martin - like the folks at The Onion AV - doesn't mince words. His blog and reviews in the newspaper ain't a popularity contest. He doesn't care if you like him. Which is, in my estimation, badass. Because I so desperately do care if you like Southern Gods.

Ahem. Anyway.

So check this out. Another Arkansas magazine published by the Arkansas Business Publishing Group has pimped my book release party scheduled for tomorrow night.

I like the ring of that headline. And the author of the post, Karen Martin, was very kind to me as well. You notice any similarities in the names mentioned today?

That's right, they're married and work at different papers. That's pretty cool.

And finally, my friend Joe Howe of the fantastic Dead in the South review site has posted his interview with me in his ongoing series, We Interrupt This Author... over at the Horror World website. It was a fun interview.

Check out the interview, HERE.

And finally, over at The Night Bazaar, I talk about doing research for novels and I'm giving away a signed copy of Southern Gods to a commenter. (I'm crossing my fingers it will be an American who wins, not because I dislike foreigners, but because I'm cheap with postage).

That is all.
