Started out talking with Becky Spratford for B&N:

And now I want nothing more than to read a book by Dr. Jones on SEMICOLONS. Nothing but semicolons! pic.twitter.com/o0hcIOGx8a
Loved the @BNBuzz interview with @SGJ72 today. So cool. I’ve got enough motivational quotes for several days of #5amwritersclub posts. (Also, and I’m serious, I want to read that 6,000-word essay on semicolons.) And be cool like us and get your Jade Final Girl shirt @iGregGreene pic.twitter.com/AMk78MYv39

And . . . it’s here, still:
Then it was hanging with Tim Seeley and Jim Terry:
Oh right! There's one more new release today and we have a limited number of SIGNED copies of DON'T FEAR THE REAPER by @SGJ72, who stopped in last night to chat about biker movies, horror stuff, and be subjected to his first @JeppsonsMalort. #JadeDanielsIsMyFinalGirl pic.twitter.com/UPVJYXME6B

And the next day I was all over town (thanks to Jim), signing every Reaper that would stay under my pen:
.@SGJ72 graciously took time on his tour to stop by & sign copies of his new book, Don't Fear the Reaper. He was also kind enough to sign copies of the first in that series, My Heart is a Chainsaw, & his classic, The Only Good Indians. Signed copies available in store & online! pic.twitter.com/sQtNjzuyyJ

Which all led up to . . . LAUNCH NIGHT!
Had a great time tonight at the launch of the new @SGJ72 novel, DON'T FEAR THE REAPER. Honored to introduce Gus & SGJ. So nice to hang with these 2 amazing authors and good friends. I laughed a lot, signed some books, and talked about writing. Thank you to everyone who came out. pic.twitter.com/LqXRzz3yxG

Great conversation tonight with @SGJ72 & Gus Moreno for Don’t Fear the Reaper, second in Jones’ slasher-centric Indian Lake trilogy. On [not] obeying sequel rules: “In Don’t Fear the Reaper, I didn’t know how anybody was gonna die until they were dying.”#JadeDanielsIsMyFinalGirl pic.twitter.com/pfJSwWvhsK

I suspect that, regardless of what the title says, @SGJ72 is going to make me fear the reaper.#JadeDanielsIsMyFinalGirl pic.twitter.com/T9vQsocWXl

Going to @SGJ72’s DON’T FEAR THE REAPER release day event was such a treat!! Laughed a ton, geeked out about horror, & met the kind Stephen Graham Jones, who complimented my Scream Queens shirt & wished me luck on “disturbing people’s sleep” as a horror writer ❤️ pic.twitter.com/gnkpz2LKqa

So cool meeting one of our horror heroes @SGJ72 as our producer Josh hit up the start of the book tour for #DontFearTheReaper last night in Chicago. If you haven’t yet snagged a copy of this epic slasher sequel, do yourself a favor and lock that down. pic.twitter.com/uWvZnjtWBR

And, in case anyone was concerned I might have starved in Chicago, no worries: found this within walking distance of my hotel:
