All angels are not created equal. Raziel showed up ten years late for the birth of Jesus, remember. This is not the first time he’s underperformed. In The Stupidest Angel, God sends Raziel to cozy Pine Cove, California, to grant the Christmas wish of a child. Someone should have told him that kids can’t always be trusted. Maybe you’re already one of the converted, awaiting each new installment in the canon of Christopher Moore with giddy anticipation.

That said, here’s the order I wrote them in: Practical Demonkeeping * Coyote Blue Bloodsucking Fiends † The Island of the Sequined Love Nun The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove *… Read Article →
Chapter One Big and Wet. Next Question? Amy called the whale punkin. He was fifty feet long, wider than a city bus, and weighed eighty thousand pounds. One well-placed slap of his great tail would reduce the boat to fiberglass splinters and its occupants to red stains drifting in the blue Hawaiian waters. Amy leaned over the side of the boat and lowered the hydrophone down on the whale. “Good morning, punkin,” she said. Nathan Quinn shook his head and tried not to upchuck from the cuteness of it, of her, while surreptitiously sneaking a… Read Article →
