Broken Piano for President the book on tape has already sold out of its first pressing.

Apparently, the folks at Deathbomb Arc are doing another limited run.

Finally, you can see me eat an entire cassette tape.

Just like you've always wanted.

Also, the rad LA record label Deathbomb Arc is releasing the book-on-tape version. Literally, on cassette tape.

Read it and weep, James Earl Jones.

To celebrate Black Hole Blues' Kindle release, we're having a giveaway.

From now until Midnight, September 1, anyone who orders a copy of the book is instantly entitled to some Kenny Rogers ephemera.

Over the course of taking the Death to Kenny Rogers game show on the road, Patrick has accumulated Gambler playing cards, Anti-Kenny pins, 8-track tapes, mysterious white beard clippings and more.

Just send him your address in a Goodreads message before the deadline and you're in.

It's that simple.

My monthly nonfiction piece for We Who Are About to Die. This one explores what your fireworks say about you.

God bless America.

Super blog, We Who Are About To Die, asked me to interview myself about Death to Kenny Rogers. The results are a little self-centered.
