I did a blurb for it along the way:
Denny Bershaw's novel Guardian Angel is first-rate, a rip-roaring fantasy that goes down some most strange, but altogether interesting roads. He knows how to keep a story moving, sucks you in from the git-go, and delivers a fun, head-shaking read. Go for it. Tell him I sent you.
Not much sacred and plenty of profane, Bershaw writes a romp, and on one of his other books, I once allowed that I'd give him a blurb to this effect: "If you absolutely must read a lesbian-vampire book this year, read this one ..."
Denny is the guy who introduced me to Oglaf, which should tell you all you need to know about him.
Book is up for 99-cents at Kobos and Amazon.com, which I think is too cheap, and the trade- paper version from Earwater Press is available somewhere, too ...

I too fell asleep during a root canal...
Really? I'm impressed. My root canal experiences have not been so sanguine ...
I have a good buddy who is a real tough guy (in a friendly, laughing off pain sort of way- not in the aggressive asshole way). Anyway, he has an old school dentist that he gets along with well. One day he went in for a root canal and told the dentist he wanted to try it without novocaine, just to see what it felt like. Well, he later told me that it hurt, a bit, but that he didn't let the dentist see him flinch (you could tell he was happy to have "won" their bet). Now, when he goes in to have work done, and says, "I'd like to go back to the novocaine", the dentist just gives him a shitty grin and says, "nope", and proceeds to drill away.
His seven year old daughter, wanting to be like dad, just got a cavity drilled without it as well. All leading me to believe that northern NY is a messed up place.
Picked up a copy and enjoyed it. Thanks for the suggestion.
