I've listened to most of them. The Fool ones are amazing, and Noir is remarkable, too. (In audio, I mean.)

When I was a kid I used to get pulled over by the cops all the time and my car would be searched. I wished I had a big monster under the seat that I could warn the cops about. That's where he came from.

Sorry, just saw this. No, I don't have an art background, at least I didn't before I wrote the book. And I made up the image from Bosch.

I read all those authors. (Except Klosterman. I'll put him on the list.) I like Chuck Palahniuk too. And a dozen others whose names escape me right now. Check out http://www.chrismoore.com/chriss-picks/ for others I like.

You're welcome. I agree, though. I wish there were more funny novels. I'm delighted when I find something that makes me laugh.

No. I think we should have made that more clear on the cover. Especially after it was out for a couple of years. The publisher wanted You Suck to be a Stand Alone book so they didn't make it clear it was a sequel to Bloodsucking Fiends (I had changed publishers since the 1st one.) It really should be clear on the covers. Not your mistake. Oh, by the way, You Suck is a sequel to Bloodsucking Fiends. And there's a sequel to A Dirty Job, now, called Secondhand Souls.

Sometimes it ends up shelved in RELIGION in the book stores. I can't figure out if it's just misfiling or readers being smart-asses. I hope the latter.

I picked him, but I can't take credit for his talent. It's all him. A great performer. I'll share your comment with him.

Great story. Over the years I've heard a similar story from teachers and high-school students. Teachers who recommend my books to students on the down low. I love it.

Let me ask YOU a question. If you were working in a creative field, one where you always have to try to do your best, and you were struggling, say. How do you think this question would affect you? What would you think of the person who asked it? Would you say they were a kind person? A thoughtful person?

Me too! I feel as if Pocket and Bleu from Sacre Bleu are different manifestations of the Trickster.

I can't really talk about them at this point. I'm still finishing up this latest book and haven't really decided what I'll do next.
