Co-authors and fellow Alamedans SCOTT FULKS, a mad scientist posing as a successful computer software engineer, and WILL "THE THRILL" VIHARO, a struggling pulp fiction author posing as a successful pulp fiction author, will be signing copies of their joint sci-fi pulp epic IT CAME FROM HANGAR 18 hot off the press at one of the novel's actual settings, FORBIDDEN ISLAND TIKI LOUNGE in Alameda, CA, world famous for its award-winning cocktails and aloha ambience. They will no doubt sully its stellar reputation with this big, bawdy book, but it's all in good fun! Will, who is employed by Forbidden Island (at least until owner Michael Thanos reads his latest work) as their publicist, live music booker, weekend doorman, and "Forbidden Thrills" cult movie nite host, met Scott and his wife Jenn, frequent patrons, at the bar a couple of years ago, and they struck up a friendship. Scott read all of Will's published novels and not only still talked to him, but commissioned him to write a pulp novel in his inimitable style based on Scott's sketchy outline, wherein Scott could embed some heavy, complex scientific theories he's been developing for decades. It was a match made in Pulp Fiction Heaven, or Hell, depending on how easily offended you are... BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! The event will feature live, futuristic surf music by THE TOMORROWMEN, also selling copies of their recent CD, "It's About Time" http://tmensurf.com/shop.html PLUS! Cocktail specials and classic sci-fi flicks on Forbidden Island's big indoor screen and bar TV! ABOUT THE AUTHORS: SCOTT FULKS is a mad scientist bent on world domination, or maybe just bent. Hobbies include building flying saucers, re-creating retro subcultures, sewing, and goth dancing. His cover identity is that of a highly paid software engineering director, thus using his considerable management expertise to fund his nefarious activities. WILL “THE THRILL” VIHARO is a freelance writer, pulp fiction author and B movie impresario. His novels include A Mermaid Drowns in the Midnight Lounge, Chumpy Walnut, Down a Dark Alley, Lavender Blonde, Freaks That Carry Your Luggage Up to the Room, and the “Vic Valentine, Private Eye” series. He loves jazz, cats and cumulus clouds. He hates fake boobs and CGI werewolves. http://www.thrillville.net/fiction/ ABOUT THE BOOK: IT CAME FROM HANGAR 18 is the most action-packed, erotic science fiction epic since The Bible - but with even more sex and violence! IT mixes hardcore sex with hard science, conspiracy theories with conspicuous satire, mythological monsters with mutated mobsters, flesh-eating feminists with voyeuristic vampires, and creates a potent literary Tiki cocktail pulsating with pulp, planets, pulchritude, politics, and a plethora of other “p” words. This is essential end-of-the-world desert-island flashlight-under-the-covers reading, the ultimate B movie in literary form, and the most tantalizing textbook in the annals of anarchic academia.
