On Sunday I already talked to Scott Perkins, one of the very interesting people I meet on Facebook and immensly enjoy. In his "triple qualification" as author,
seminar leader and bookseller, I had questioned him on the subject in
the face of the collapse of one of the largest U.S. bookstore chains.
As an author, Scott Perkins is just as interesting to talk to, especially about the "in-topic" of the US-publishing-scene: The changing market and self-publishing.

To describe Scott Perkins is a challenge. He is incredibly versatile (builts masks from leather, is emerging at Renaissance markets as a fool, two weeks later at a Con in steampunk style), and works as a writer and seminar leader at the "TCC Writing & Tutoring Center," a Community Center.
He describes himself as "Optimist. Realist. Cynical idealist." - And all he is. In his "triple qualification" as author, seminar leader and bookseller, we have questioned him on the subject in the face of the collapse of one of the largest U.S. bookstore chains.

The last thing he remembers is the chatter of an automatic weapon. Glass explodes from the French doors. Drywall erupts from the office walls. Paneling cracks and splinters from the opposite side of the room. Knick-knacks, pen holders, picture frames rain down on him from his ruined desk. Warm, sticky, wetness oozes from the soggy carpet beneath him. Cold numbness spreads inward from his limbs. Darkness grows, closes him in.
Closes him down.

Aaron Monty Montgomery was a highly-successful, well paid defense attorney for the drug cartels until he lost a case and awoke in an elevator car headed for hell. The regular denizens were bad enough: from impish elevator operators to a Welcome Woman who was anything but welcome; from librarians and lawyers to his first assignment. Nothing prepared him, however, for his first opportunity: to defend Bram Stoker in a defamation suit brought by none other than Prince Vlad III Tepes Drakulya (better known as Dracula) or that it would plant him firmly in the middle of a power struggle between His Satanic Majesty and the ancient Babylonian gods represented by Pazuzu, demon son of the wind god.

So you want to know how I ended up in Hell. Thats easy it was because of Facebook. Yeah, Facebook.
A few months ago I was having a really, really bad day at work, nothing what so ever seemed to be happening the way I wanted it to so as a result I was in a really sour mood. During my lunch break I was looking over posts on Facebook and saw one that Janet Morris had made using the title of the new Heroes in Hell volume, Lawyers in Hell.
