That roadster is the most beautiful thing he's ever destroyed, and it makes him smile to this day. In 2005, he quit teaching English. In 2007, he was disqualified from the Isshinryu World Karate Championships for excessive violence against a dwarf. In 2010, his first book, Bucket of Face, was published by Eraserhead Press. The Ninja's Wife was in the 2014 Wishful Thinking anthology. Giving the Finger appeared in the 2015 Bizarro Starter Kit Red, and a collection of the same name is forthcoming.

Wanted to stop by and say thanks for the friend request and for being interested in my profile. Looking forward to reading your book - will be ordering it soon but need to clear a tiny bit more space on my bookshelves in order to give it a good home.

Kwesi, Thank you for adding Bucket of Face. How do you get my book in your parts? Eric.

I ordered it online and I'm still waiting for the package. I can't wait to read your books and wish your books will be available to local bookstores.

Thank you for directing me to the site. I think connecting the reviews to songs is a good idea. I'm listening to Murder in the Red Barn as I write this. I'll check back on the blog from time to time. If you ever end up reviewing my book, I guess the choice of music will be obvious.

thank you for following my reviews. I occasionally blog reviews as well (though not always) The blog reviews are more extensive and sometimes more critical. I include a song with every blog review that ties into the plot, characters or overall themes in some way. A link to my blog can be found on my goodreads profile. (I really hope you don't mind the bit of self promotion here I just thought you might appreciate the blog)
