Mike Squatrito is in the local news regarding the just-published sequel in his Overlords series. You’ll note, if you browse his site, that the second book’s cover is a significant upgrade from the first, for which Mike can thank Anchor Rising’s sometime brush-for-hire Colby Cook.
Mike also goes to my church, as it happens. He works for the same company as my brother in law. And he graduated from URI (albeit some time before I did).
And thus does Rhode Island wrap its tendrils around those who live here. (Now, that might be the basis for an interesting fantasy novel… or would it be horror?)
