Life events will not allow me to come to Chicago right now but if you find yourself in the Portland/Vancouver area I know a great Creole place. You will have to come on a Wednesday though. They only serve lunch on Wednesday’s.

That's not Bentley Little's Creole Kitchen you're referring to, is it?? I've heard GREAT things about that place.

I'll have to get there!

Fly to Chicago and have lunch with me and Brad and we can discuss the merits of Bentley Little's fiction.

I will give you the truth before Mr. Terry chimes in. It was good but not great.

BL ruins everything!

Just got shipping notice on a little black book. Maybe I will be able to have lunch with someone soon.

Yeah, that was a Little book called The Handyman . . .

I actually like the repair guy idea.

If I'm eating with Malerman and King, then I could be eating fried shoelaces and be happy.



Good call! Yeah he didn't believe me that the villain in Duma Key should be a pirate witch painting--he wanted to make it a factory worker at a cereal plant set in rural Ohio for no damn reason.

It did not say that on the package but I may have that for lunch, minus the frying part of the program.

You're welcome! He owed me a favor after I told him Pennywise should REALLY be a clown and not a washing machine repair guy.

Hope your lunch is better than what I had.

I'm having lunch with both of them right now. They both said you're welcome. Steve is also here and he's signing my AGE of Misery.

About a third of the way through Mr. Malerman’s story and I am enjoying it. Mr. Terry, if you get a chance please thank him for farming this out to such a great writer.
