Eraserhead Press
Clarification is needed regarding my first book announcement… ‘Wolves Dressed as Men’ will not be my first published book, it will be my second. My short novel ’Muscle Memory’ will be published first as part of the Eraserhead Press ‘New Bizarro Author Series’ this year. It is scheduled to be released in October, while ‘Wolves’ will be pushed back a few months to November. Just in time for your Christmas shopping and such.
‘Muscle Memory’ is the story of Billy Gillespie, who realizes things are off early one morning when he reaches between his legs and grabs only air. Billy is no longer Billy. He is his wife, Tina. On the bed is his dead body, presumably with Tina trapped inside. On the kitchen counter, empty beer bottles and a container of antifreeze. Billy and the rest of his small western Pennsylvania town have switched bodies with each other – neighbors Tucker and his wife, Julia; Edgar Winter and a sheep, the guys (er, girls) down at the local watering hole. As they unravel the mystery of what happened and why, Billy must also come to grips with his own murder at the hands of the woman whose body he now inhabits. NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw makes a memorable cameo as well in a fast, funny read you’ll likely consume in the time it takes one of my kids to use the crapper.
The NBAS books should all come out at BizarroCon in Portland, OR, which I will be attending and sticking out like a sore fucking thumb amongst all those left coast, bizarro types. I can’t wait – a conservative Indiana boy in Portland … Oh, there will be stories. And blood, too. There will be stories and blood.
Pardon me while I go drink your milkshake now.
