Post Party Thoughts

   The Christian Zombie Killers Release Party was a freakin blast! We had about 150 folks show up to eat, party and get copies of the book. I really enjoy signing books. The only awkwardness occurs when I have a brain fart and forget someone's name (usually an acquaintance I've known for years). My standard "go to" line is, "Hey, tell me again how to spell your name."

   That's supposed to veil the fact that I've totally gone blank on their name, and is designed to communicate great thoughtfulness on my part (nobody likes an author who misspells your name when signing a book to you).

   What's embarrassing is when, in response to that question, they respond,
"It's BOB, Jeff. B-O-B."

   Oops.

   How do you spell "A-W-K-W-A-R-D"?

"Wait, what's MY name?!"

Happy readers! No wonder. Free books!

Seems I'm always near a Zombie or 2...or 3.
