Chrisopher Moore is the author of Lamb, Fluke, Bloodsucking Fiends, A Dirty Job, and many other brilliant works. He has also been one of the most prominent influences on my own writing, though I ask that you not hold that against him.

And, according to his website, he will be appearing at Copperfield’s Books in Petaluma, California, on Friday, March 27, to promote his newest book, Fool. I’ve seen him before, at that very same venue, and he’s a very funny and intelligent guy.

So I certainly intend to see him again. Anyone local to me want to come along?
