"...if anybody tells you that all you need is a lucky break, then tell them to shove off. Luck is about the worst thing that can happen in this biz, and it's no substitute for knowledge, experience, and skill."

—Tom Piccirilli, from Welcome to Hell

"Welcome to Hell is an anecdotal look into Piccirilli's life and writing process that happens to serve as a wonderful tool for any fledgling writer. Oddly, since he's so acclaimed, this may be the Piccirilli book that should break out into the mainstream. In a mere forty to fifty pages (depending on whether you count the signature page and the helpful addresses), Piccirilli lays out, in an ultra-accessible almost stream-of-consciousness style, answers to all the silly questions that newbie writers like to ask."
