MY DEMON MIXTAPE is available at lulu.com’s bookstore.

MY DEMON MIXTAPE is available at lulu.com’s bookstore.

one review:

“your book is fantastic. you are funny and real and wise and articulate with otherwise difficult concepts to write about. wildly creative. im about halfway through and don’t want to put it down. If I knew a publisher I would send them a copy, but i dont. your novel deserves to be available to a vast population…..you are an excellent writer. 

…Crazy ending. Very satisfying. …You have a unique mind, a unique way of looking at people and life. There is part of me that wants to understand you, but at the same time knows that is not possible. You have a casual way of describing exactly with a surgeon precision, the extreme angst of being a human being. Cool and casual and it does intrigue and scare me a bit overall, I do not know what to think but your writing feels very real in an uncomfortable sort of way that hurts and feels so good and refreshing.”

my demon mixtape

Daily writing promptIf you had a freeway billboard, what would it say?View all responses

i’ve been trying to find an agent
or a publisher for my novel
for how long?
i have lost track….
so i would post it’s title on a billboard
get people curious
then
even if i end up going the self-publication route
the name of my novel will be nicely buried in the subconscious
of everyone’s mind
waiting to hatch…
i have resisted self-publication because it kinda strikes me the same way
as masturbation
sure, it would get the job done
but wouldn’t it be nice if there were other people involved?
in my case
i am unable to self-promote
& keep hoping i can find someone else
to carry that cross…
then again, maybe it’s time i stop using that
as an excuse
& just get my novel out there
by any means necessary….
