Minneapolis RLSH Hit the Street!

Yesterday, a group of Minnesota RLSH hit the streets, handing out supplies to homeless people, patrolling, and making donations to Minneapolis shelters People Serving People and Higher Ground.

The group included Geist, Misery, Blue, and new recruits Murrica and Amethyst.

L-R: Murrica, Amethyst, Blue, Geist

The group with Misery, furthest right

I'm excited to see this crew and the fine folks of the Twin Cities when I make an in-store appearance on Sunday, October 20 at Common Good Books in Saint Paul at 4PM.

Here's the Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/467455183351314/

Heroes in the Night is "A Great Example of the Promise of Creative Non-Fiction"

Wow, Heroes in the Night got a spectacular review from the fine folks at Popmythology.com!

Reviewer Matt Hlinak writes:

"Krulos combines solid journalism with colorful storytelling to shed light on this bizarre and utterly human subculture...

Heroes in the Night is a great example of the promise of creative non-fiction. Tea Krulos lays a solid foundation of fact and then builds an entertaining story on top of it. He is a necessary character in this story, but he never allows himself to overshadow the real-life superheroes, who are the real stars. He gives them a chance to explain themselves and deftly mixes humor and compassion in his treatment of his subjects.

This is an entertaining book that sheds light on the strange but timely, understandable and relevant subculture that is the RLSH movement."
