I think firstly I would just soak up the atmosphere, the smells, sights, and sensations. Aside from that, it would be to eat & drink everything I could try on my way to Yzordderrex. Hopefully, I could do this before being caught and unmade by the Autarch.(less)

As I speak, my fabulous publisher is busy working away getting Howaiterozu ready, for an imminent release. How imminent that is, we are not quite sure, but rest assured, it is very close.

I will give more exact details as to the release date etc as soon as I get them myself.

Much love my freakpeeps. Stay twisted, but stay safe. Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Rob Shepherd  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“One thing that unites us all, one thing is universal among the human species; the anatomy. Big, small, fat, thin, colour or creed are irrelevant. Under the skin, under the flesh, we are one and the same. We desire the same things; love, money, power. All the things we can not have, not without cost.”
Rob Shepherd, The Grays Anatomy

“To write your dreams of fantasy, is to create fantasy in another's dreams”
Rob Shepherd, Life with Boris Karloff!

“To write you dreams of fantasy, is to create fantasy in another's dreams.”
Rob Shepherd

“Those monsters in your closets and under your beds? They are just as real as us. The difference is that we fear what we don't understand, while they understand exactly, what we fear.”
Rob Shepherd

“First, find out what your hero wants, then just follow him.”
Ray Bradbury

“Do a loony-goony dance
'Cross the kitchen floor,
Put something silly in the world
That ain't been there before.”
Shel Silverstein, A Light in the Attic

“To write you dreams of fantasy, is to create fantasy in another's dreams.”
Rob Shepherd

“There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches.”
Ray Bradbury
