Who is this Superman, you ask? Why it's YA author Mike Mullin (I almost typed Mulligan instead of Mullin :D There's a kids book, "Mike Mulligan & His Steam Shovel" that always comes to mind when I see "Mike Mullin" in print. Yes, I know, I'm weird. :P)
Aaaanyway, back to the matter at hand. Mike's debut novel, "Ashfall", was recently released and it's very, very, very good. Don't believe me? Check out my review. Buy and read the book. Then, if you can, go to one of Mike's Book Tour stops where he will dazzle you with his martial arts abilities, including chopping cinder blocks with his bare hands (his character Alex does something similar in the book). If you're really lucky, he'll sign it and you can take it home. You have to admit, it's not your typical book swag, LOL.
Mike is coming to the Northeast portion of the US in the spring and I am hoping that he'll be within a reasonable driving distance so I can meet him. Maybe, just maybe, I'll leave with a signed cinder block (and a signed book of course :) )
You can get more info on both blog tours and bookstore tours at his site.
