ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Mike Daily is a novelist and recording artist who frequently performs his work in Portland, Oregon, as vocalist for the experimental fiction rock band, O'GRADY. Daily's new book ALARM carries on the humorously visual narratives of Mick O'Grady, introduced in his first novel, Valley. Of that novel, Ray Gun Magazine wrote, "Mike Daily packs so many stylish smash cuts into Valley, MTV dulls by comparison."
