God Bless Mr. Devil Book

Read this in a BookCrossing Bookring

A lovely story- refreshing and hopeful- some aspects a bit predictable, but I wanted to keep reading to see how the author got to the expected end. It did make me stop and ponder some philosophical questions and theoretical beliefs. All in all, I was quite pleased that Katie was the kind of girl she was and that her family had the great sense to support her and to name their dog one of the all-time great dog names!

The author always signs his books in red ink, and said (at the time I'd gotten a copy) that no one had figured out why. Of course, I had to email him my theory.

Anyhow, I did hear back from the author, who was very kind and told me I had indeed guessed right on the reason he signs his books in red ink.

Author reply:
Hello, Amy.
Andrew Davis, here, author of God Bless Mr. Devil.

I was standing in Satan's lair watching him work, when he showed me his diary.

In the course of that, he showed me where he started writing in blood and told me why.

It was one of those profound moments when the characters are telling the story and they show you something that reveals a major element of their lives. That's when I made the decision to sign in blood, because it was a turning point in Satan's life that I never knew about.

Thank you for you kind words, and I wish you the best that life has to offer.

Andrew
