Searching for Christopher Pike, Part 2
God bless Facebook.
My blog entry and video from earlier this month, honoring the literary idol who had quite the impact on my life as a writer and an all-around bookworm, generated a few reactions and comments online, most notably this one:

More so than the time I interviewed Wes Craven on the red carpet for the Scream Awards at the Greek Theater...
Truly. Not. Worthy.
H.P.M.
