Junkie Love Trailer: the Release

May132013

If you were hanging around the Intertron this weekend, you might've caught the video. The book trailer for Junkie Love premiered at the launch (terrific turnout of about 100 or so, sold out all the books), and was quickly put up on my website. I wanted to wait until today when the web opened back up Read More

Book Launch & Trailer Premier TONIGHT!

May102013

I keep telling myself I am going to stop using this blog only to promote my books. I know that will make Big Click editor Nick Mamatas happy. A few weeks back, Nick was kvetching about authors who use their blogs only to promote their own books. But I can't spin it anymore. I am that guy. No way around Read More

Return of the Prodigal Son

May62013

OK, that's not my title. That comes from Alan Kaufman via a comment left on my wall. Not sure I'd assign biblical proportions to the journey back east...oh, who I am kidding? I named my band The Wandering Jews, in part, because I thought I may've been Jesus back in the day. (In my defense, I was doing Read More

Book Review: A Bitch Called Hope

Apr302013

They say you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover or title. But with a novel like A Bitch Called Hope, how can you not? I liked this one before I ever cracked the spine. (Figuratively speaking, since I pretty much exist entirely in the digital these days.) A Bitch Called Hope, with its clever Read More

Book Tour: East Coast Edition

Apr292013

Book tour might be overselling it. At least in the traditional sense. Or maybe in the preconceived, pop culture sense. This week I fly back to Connecticut, where I've been invited to read at my old college, CCSU, and my hometown library in Berlin. This is a paying gig, and of course I'll be able to sell Read More

The Lone Palm, Cat Power, & the All Consumption of Art

Apr262013

That was the original name of Wake the Undertaker, which, for all you luddites, is now out in print. Thus concludes my glut of recent publishing good fortune (at least until Liz lands us a deal for Lamentation). I was thinking about the writing of that book this morning, which began as my thesis Read More

Don’t Read My Book

Apr222013

So we made it a whole week not talking about my book. Granted, I only wrote one blog post that week. But it was decidedly Junkie Love free. Now we are back! With a brand new Facebook page and everything. And still in the Top 100! (As long as we're ahead of Gonzalez and his pedantic & pretentious La Read More
