Fifteen years after losing most of his family to a devastating, pudding-related tragedy, Simon Debovar has settled into a life of self-imposed exile from the stinking, selfish morass of humanity. Content that his daily highlights will include hazelnut coffee, a long bath, and the occasional jar of olives, his life is completely upturned by the discovery that his ornate living room carpet is the deciding factor in a bet between God and Satan.
When mysteriously well-timed carpet thieves deprive him of the crucial heirloom, Simon is forced to leave his hermit's existence behind for a world of angels, demons, witches, and immortals.
And then it gets complicated.
In over fifteen years of writing and editing for a living, Justin Lee Anderson has worked on everything from restaurant, theater, and comedy reviews to training manuals and magazines, including four years as the writer, editor, and photographer for an Edinburgh guidebook. Currently working as a content editor, he lives with his Brady Bunch family in a permanent state of happy chaos.
