Luckily it's been about about two and a half years now since he gave up on trying to extort me and moved on I guess.

Yes and no. The story itself will be for Kindle only, due to how short it is. It's only about 15k words/68 pages. Once I finish the next Hollows Point story, all three will be released in omnibus form in paperback. Hopefully before Halloween,

First of all, thanks! B-movies were always my favorite movies. I guess I always found the trivializations of death and violence as a coping mechanism for not being able to deal with those things. Combine that with a filthy sense of humor, I guess it just came natural from there. And unfortunately, I can't even think of much other b-movie type prose than mine, let alone recommend a book on writing it. I'd write one, but it would be maybe 1 page. "Watch lots of b-movies, read lots of books of any genre, then write. Remember not to think too much, and that you're better than writing a joke that punches down."

It's really not all that interesting. Quite mundane actually, until about the summer of 2019 when some senile whack job con artist named Dana Lee Stern Sr. came into my life. Also, I really hope you get a good editor if you write this book. Why did you put a ? at the end of the last sentence? It was a statement. Not a question. Anyways, I already told you I'd be happy to answer any and all questions you have for my biography.

I pretend I know how to write books. They're all pretty bad. But to me, they're all the bestest.

Mulder and Scully. Oh shit that's a spoiler. Whatever. Your fault.
Jeff O'Brien
No. I have't written a word since age seven. I'm just now getting around to releasing my shit since self-publishing has gotten so easy in the last few years.

I watched insane amounts of gay porn while popping an ecstasy/viagra cocktail. I hardly even remember writing it. I don't even know where Turkeyfoot is. Is it a real place?
Jeff O'Brien
A book that's going to be called Heart Shaved Box.

I do other shit until it passes. Watch movies. Read books. Mow the lawn. Balance my check book. Usually not taking care of things like that are the reason people get so-called writer's block.
