Owen Egerton delivers!

Yeah, the book was released about a month ago and the book-signing party hoopla is all finished, but some of us have other things to do besides sitting around reading books all day. So forgive me for getting to Owen’s collection of short stories a little later than most. Surely I’m not the only one, though, and that’s what I’m here to share with you, loyal reader.

I’m familiar with Owen’s skills on a stage or on a microphone. But those don’t always translate as well as we’d like to paper. Egerton, however, is just as smart and charming on How Best to Avoid Dying as he is anywhere else he is performing.

I’ve never called another man charming before.

My point? It’s okay if you missed the buzz — just don’t miss out on the book. That’s all.
