Having a lovely time--many thanks to Kennedy Jr. High and Traughber Jr. High in Chicago and Hastings Jr. High in Houston for having me. And also to the wonderful staff of Anderson's Bookshop for having me. I go to Blue Willow Books tonight!
I'll probably write more extensively about the trip when I have more time (and more sleep) but here are, in no particular order, a few of the best things about my time in Chicago:
1. The kids
2. Seeing my friend Martel, with whom I ate my first Chicago deep dish pizza in a few years.
3. Meeting Delaney the Undead, one of the first and most frequent posters to my blog! Yay!
4. My media guide Judy, with whom I had my second Chicago deep dish pizza
5. Chicago deep dish pizza
6. Everyone at Anderson's. I went home with two books from Anderson's--Oblivion by David Foster Wallace, which they gave to me as a gift!--and The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2008, edited by David Eggers.
7. Seeing that the new website that Hyperion created for the Generation Dead series is now live! Check it out!

I can´t wait for reading Kiss of Life, I´ll have it in June, it´s only 1 month, but I can´t wait.
In GenDead website, your photo that changes is sooooo cool!
I love it!
It´s like in Disneyland, the Haunted Mansion portraits!
Love it!
Oh!
I want to do the zombie Quiz, what is it about?
Can´t wait.
It´ll be so cool if you put like games on it, or maybe fan art.
Oh-one question, is the model of Generation Dead jacket the same of Kiss of life?
Bye!
Take care!
