UPDATED: TWO Brand new Stranger Will video book reviewS

September 7, 2013

I was incredibly happy to see this wonderful video book review posted today by YouTuber/BookTuber MartheBozart. Not only did she enjoy the book, she also noted a couple of specific parts of the book that I myself am particularly proud of. Very little in this world feels as nice as the rush of pride that comes over an author when a book works as intended. Thank you MartheBozart for reading and for the wonderful review (and for liking Stranger Will enough to pass along the book to a friend!). Watch the review below. Also, be sure to check out MartheBozart's channel and other social profiles via the links below. After all that, you'll probably want to buy Stranger Will, right? I've made it easy for you. Just click over to Amazon (or your online book site of choice) now. MartheBozart Twitter MartheBozart YouTube MartheBozart Goodreads And just when I thought…

I get naked with this book! A review of The Cost of Living (a novel) by Rob Roberge

April 16, 2013

The Cost of Living will easily make my top 10 of 2013 list. I've read all of Roberge’s work, all that I’m aware of (Drive [novel], More than they Could Chew [novel], Working Backwards from the Worst Moment of My Life [stories]) and I’d read anything else in the future. He’s one of my favorite writers, so you know, having the history I do, you can trust my words. To read The Cost of Living is to read the rock and roll story that everyone’s always wanted, but could never find; there’s too much glitter and groupies, too much ego in other rock and roll stories. With The Cost of Living, you’re forced to deal with, and ultimately fall in love with, a life that’s been destroyed by the stage. Every rock and roll story you've read before will seem cliche compared to The Cost of Living. Buy the book:…

I’ve never read Harry Potter. You can change that.

March 15, 2013

So, you say you love Harry Potter and that everyone should read it? Now is your chance to put your money where you mouth is. Every year I help raise money for a foundation called The March of Dimes. My child, who you can see hilariously featured a few videos from my daily vlog channel (linked above) was born about 5 weeks early, and so benefited greatly from the research and advances in care for premature infants, which is what March of Dimes does. Normally, I just beg friends and susceptible strangers for donations. This year I wanted to do something different. For every 2 dollars I receive in donations, I will read 1 page of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. At the end of each week, I will tally the donations, read the appropriate number of pages, and then record a video where I will offer my thoughts…

Sometimes, it feels good to make a person cry.

FREE copy of my “new” novel, Stranger Will, to willing readers

January 3, 2013

My first novel, Stranger Will, is being re-released this January 25th, 2013 through Perfect Edge Books. However, I have a stack of unedited proof copies from the previous publication that I need to get rid of. Here's where you come in. I will send a free copy (until my limited supply runs out) to anyone willing to read the book and provide a video review. The review doesn't even have to be positive. Just provide your honest response. What's the catch? No catch. I'll even pay for shipping the book to you. Because the book will be released on January 25th, 2013, I'm hoping for reviews to be uploaded as soon as possible. However, if you can't meet the 25th deadline, anytime soon after is quite cool by me. If you have questions, just ask in the comments at the YouTube video page.

D.J Qualls as a morally confused human stain cleaner in the movie adaptation of Stranger Will?

Am I the Next Big Thing? Up-front honesty: no, I'm not the Next Big Thing. However, I have been asked by Richard Thomas to be a part of this blog Q&A thing called The Next Big Thing. I'd explain what The Next Big Thing blog Q&A is, but really, little explanation is needed. I was asked the following questions, and in turn, I will ask the following questions of a new group of writers (listed below the responses). On to the self-indulgence. What is the working title of your next book? Technically, it’s Stranger Will, due out January 16th 2013, but that’s a re-release of a novel. As for unpublished work, I’m working on two: The Synapse and The Bettors; I promise neither title will stay, as they both follow an unfulfilled [definite article] [vague noun] pattern that should probably be reserved only for terrible magazine rack thrillers. Where did the idea come…
