Over the past few months, Yvonne and I have been taking some outrageous pictures of wildlife and fauna. We've been slow in posting them, but we're getting better. For your enjoyment, I'm posting two that we took recently. The rattlesnake was the first one to come into our yard since we've lived here (4 years). I spied it coming towards my son and I last Sat morning. It was about six feet away when I saw it. As you can see, my herpitology merit badge I was awarded in boy scouts came in handy.
The other picture is of a lizard that was running the top of the wall that surrounds our ...ahem... compound... er... home. It was one of the larger ones we've seen. We figure all these creatures are coming out because of the drought.

Book Signing Report
I had a book signing this weekend in Arizona. This is the third one I've had since the release. The first was at Dark Delicacies in Burbank. The second was during the Book Expo of America. Now this one which was the day before Father's Day, which was at the Hasting's Book Store in the sleepy border town I call home, Sierra Vista, Arizona. The local paper had a big write-up the Thursday before, which possibly the reason why the turn-out was so good. It could have also been the result of my dashing good looks and incredible writing. Or it could have been because we paid a group of illegals to line up at the table so it would like I was popular. (kidding) Seriously, Scarecrow Gods speaks for itself. The store ordered 16 copies and they were sold out by the time the book signing was over. I met some local up and coming writers, some grandmothers looking for something for their sons on Father's Day, a whacked out kid who spent ten minutes telling me about the crazy lights he saw in the mountains, the Russian KGB agent who actually read the writing (Israeli) on the face on the cover of the book, and a homeless man who traded in six bags of cans to get enough money for the book. No lie.
It was so much fun, I think I'm going to do some more. So, I'm going to begin setting up a schedule of signings that include Tucson, Phoenix, Southern California and New Mexico. If you have some favorite bookstores, let me know, and I'll make sure I contact them.
