Hellcome!
You're looking at a MySpace page being used to push the forthcoming book Won't Go Quietly, written by yers trooly. It's a work of fiction based on personal real life experiences in and around the music industry.
Having been in the business of pushing a promoting metal for 15 years now, the last 12 of those with BW&BK as one of the mag's key writers, I've seen and done more in this biz than I ever expected I would. It's only natural that I'd sit down and write a book at some point. As for choosing to write a work of fiction rather than offer up a band biography or a volume of amusing anecdotes, diary entries, and alcohol fogged memories of puking on the side of the Autobahn after a 12 hour drinking binge with Stratovarius, it didn't interest me to play it straight. Especially when I look at the phenomenal biographical work of people like my colleague Martin Popoff or Joel Gausten. Now THOSE guys can write.
Won't Go Quietly is still a work in progress (as of January 2009) but should be released towards the end of the year. Chances are it will be an independent release, but should I acquire the services of an agent and/or publisher that won't soak me for 99.9% of the profits that could change.
For those of you that are here out of genuine interest as opposed to the typical MySpace Friend Collection routine, let me know if you'd be interested in reading some excerpts from the book. I'd be glad to open it up for some constructive criticism prior to release, and just to flat out entertain you ;-)
