The LEO Weekly recently ran a great interview with me. If you aren't in the Louisville area and can't pick up a copy, you can check it out online.

Warning: There is a HUGE picture of me. If you are scared of guys with big noses and glasses, steer clear.

That's right, filmmakers Hank Rothrock and Bradley Buehring will begin principle photography this weekend on a film adaptation of my story.

Stay tuned. This is going to make Citizen Cane look like Sister Act II.

Literary super-blog, HTMLGIANT, recently ran an interview with me. Read it in full here:

Here's a taste:

Q--Your work has been characterized as “darkly absurdist.” Is that accurate? What does it mean for writing to be absurdist or bizarro? Can those terms be used interchangeably?

A--I’ve been called much worse, that’s for sure. I use a lot of sarcasm and satire and dark humor in my writing and people draw their own conclusions. I’ll take whatever you want to call me, especially “Shakespearian”. I think if people started calling my work Shakespearian, my parents wouldn’t be so embarrassed about the book’s title.

The2ndHand, a great online and print lit magazine, recently ran an essay I wrote about the time I sold my own line of Wentastic BBQ Sauce.

If you love anarchist clowns, BBQ folklore and slightly embellished true stories, this is for you.
