Interview about Bamboo Forest and an OKoD review

Bob McLain, author of the awesomely-named Snow White and the Seven Dead Dwarves and the upcoming Disney Dreadful, as well as proprietor of Theme Park Press, recently interviewed me about Bamboo Forest Publishing. If you’ve ever been curious about the business side of the dark side, check out this interview. I talk about the publishing process, why I decided to start Bamboo Forest, where the name of the company came from, and what I’m doing with all of the profits from DSoD (surprisingly, I’m...

OKoD on Audiobook, and a DSoD review

Monorail Bar Crawl vid and Two OKoD reviews

Here’s a fun new video of me, Draven, and Pentakis doing a Monorail Bar Crawl. The part that you don’t see in this video is that once we were done at The Wave we went to The Magic Kingdom and did the “One More Disney Day”, where we continued to drink well into the morning. So this is like a prequel to that video!

Next up, two reviews for my new book, “Our Kingdom of Dust”! The first is a rave review from Kevin Yee at Miceage:

“The opening pages will grab you by the jugular and thrash you around...

DSoD Fan (and his son) Sneak Into The Land VIP!

DSoD fan @tonecapo recently snuck up to the 3rd floor of The Land to check out the former VIP lounge, and filmed the whole thing! The kid is hilarious, because he’s really scared of being caught, but luckily they got out unscathed and he seems pretty happy about the whole thing by the end.

P.S. Don’t forget that “Our Kingdom of Dust” is now available in paperback, hardback, and ebook formats! If you liked DSoD you’ll get a real kick out of OKoD, and if you don’t you can yell at me in the comme...

“Our Kingdom of Dust” is out!

Our Kingdom of Dust is officially released! I can’t even begin to describe how happy I am with the way the book turned out. My hope is that it will entertain you just as much as The Dark Side of Disney, but will also resonate on a whole different level. At the very least, you’ll have some kick-ass cover art to stare at, featuring the one and only Draven Star!

If you want it immediately, obviously the e-book is the way to go. It’s up for Kindle at Amazon and for other devices at Smashwords. It...

The Our Kingdom of Dust page is now live on BambooForestPublishing.com! On the page you’ll find an expanded description of the book, testimonials from people whose names you might recognize, and a hi-res version of the cover image. OKoD will be available for sale next week from BambooForestPublishing.com in both paperback and hardback, and we’ll also be selling super-cool 18×24 posters of the “Dust Sniffing Princess” promo photo!

Also, check out our newest podcast appearance with the WDWFanBoy...

Exciting News Coming Soon!

Sorry about the lack of updates and videos recently, but there are a ton of super-exciting things going on behind the scenes at DSoD headquarters that have been keeping us extremely busy. The team is planning multiple mind-blowing events for EPCOT’s 30th, designing some ultra-cool DSoD and “Our Kingdom of Dust” merch, and prepping for the release of OKoD in mid-May. Also, Bamboo Forest Publishing has some pretty epic projects in the works in addition to OKoD, the first of which will be announ...

DSoD Tattoos For Everyone!

Just uploaded a video of Draven and Pentakis getting their matching DSoD Anarchy Mouse Ears tattoos at Fallen Sparrow Tattoo Company during our March trip! Alixxx Rivera inked the girls, and they said he has a gentle touch and is obviously a skilled artist. So, if you're ever in the Orlando area and are jonesing for a tattoo, Alixxx has the DSoD seal of approval!

Then later that night the girls gave me my own DSoD tattoo, albeit a temporary one. I throw in a few of these temp tattoos with any ...
