Public Statement

Since April Fool's Day, countless authors, editors, freelancers, and other NSB Refugees have been in touch, asking if I'll be making a public statement on the Night Shade Books debacle.

In lieu of such a statement, at this time I would simply like to post the following photograph and point out that you should buy my punk rock novel Chick Bassist (from Lazy Fascist Press), since it's about a big breakup... and what happens after.
