It's near the bottom, but it's huge and very cool. This is a newsletter that has 970,000 opt-in subscribers, which is incredible publicity. Huzzah!

I love how the teaser preview of question 2 ("Why did you write a book about serial killers?") cuts off halfway through the sentence, so it just says "One day driving home from writing group, someone found out about my secret hobby." Without the last three words of the sentence ("serial killer research"), that quote sounds really creepy.

Finished I am NOT a Serial Killer in one sitting last night, and all I can say is the quote that marks the book as "unput-downable" is spot on.  I love this book, and I want to share my copy with everybody I know.  Mr. Wells: Kudos Sir, you've made a slightly crazy fanboy out of me.
