I've Written Some Non-Fiction! Also, Updates About PUPPET SKIN!

Hey Internet!

I haven't updated in a while. Things are happening. Slowly, they're happening.

Here's the first thing:

I've had two non-fiction essays run at the Clash Media website. Linking below:

WHY I DECIDED TO QUIT WRITING AND BECOME A KID ROCK FAN INSTEAD

-and-

SOMEONE ELSE'S BIG BREAK

I've found writing these personal essays to be a cathartic experience, so hopefully there will be more in the future. Keep your eyes peeled.

Here's the second thing:

There has been a few problems with the paperback version of PUPPET SKIN on Amazon. Some computer glitch keeps bumping it offline or something. I don't freakin' know what the deal is, but it's been that way for the better part of a month. YOU CAN STILL ORDER THE BOOK FROM AMAZON, but it might take a while to show up. So while my publisher tries to straighten that out, they've lowered the price of the Kindle version to $2.99.

PUPPET SKIN - $2.99 Kindle sale

If you want the paperback (and I fucking hope you do) your best bet right now would be to go through barnesandnoble.com or bookdespository.com. You can still get a good deal there, price-wise. And I believe Book Depository does free shipping, even internationally.

PUPPET SKIN at Book Depository

If that's not good enough, feel free to shoot me a message on Facebook or Goodreads or shoot me an email at danger_slater@yahoo.com if you want a personalized copy mailed directly from ME to YOU.

That's all for now.

Forever real,
Danger

An Interview and Two Upcoming Readings!

Short and sweet, here we go:

1. Did an interview with Christoph Paul on his excellent podcast The Passion of the Christoph.

LISTEN HERE or just download that shit from iTunes

2. October 1st doing a reading at The Lovecraft Bar in Portland, Oregon. This reading is the book release party of Garrett Cook's new novel A GOD OF HUNGRY WALLS as well as being the kick-off party for the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival. Lots of excellent bizarro writers will be performing, including (but not limited to) me, Garrett, Jeff Burk and Vince Kramer. I've written something special for this performance and it's either going to be a lot of fun or fail miserably.

HERE IS THE EVENT'S FACEBOOK PAGE

3. October 6th I'll be reading again at The Hour That Stretches at the Jade Lounge here in Portland. Last month the reading there went well. This month it should be even better, as my girlfriend Lisa LeStrange will be reading too and I think we're gonna perform our joint 'Interactive Erotic Friend Fiction' bit we did at the Bizarro Hour in Chicago. And I *might* perform the 'Popsicle' bit that won me 3rd place at last year's Bizarro Showdown.

HERE IS THE EVENT PAGE FOR THAT ONE

Come on out and support me if you can. I love you.

Upcoming Reading!

Hi there, my Dangerlings!

I got an upcoming reading on September 1st at the Jade Lounge in Portland, Oregon. The show is called The Hour That Stretches and will feature some new absurdist meta-fiction by me. And not only that, the one and only Garrett Cook will be reading there too! I'll even have some books with me for sale! It's gonna be a lot of fun! If you can come out, PLEASE DO.

For more details, stop being lazy and google that shit. Or click below for the Facebook event page:

THE HOUR THAT STRETCHES on SEPTEMBER 1st

That is all for now. Thanks, kids!

A Flash Fiction/Interview! And Upcoming Appearances!

Hellllllllllo ladies! And also gentlemen. And also not-so-gentlemen.

Here's what's going on:

Had a piece of flash fiction and an interview that ran on Kevin Strange's blog as a part of his new series he's calling 'Flash Me Fiction'. Essentially, I wrote a piece of flash called JUNE, and then Kevin asked me a few questions based off of the story. In true form, I regard most of those question with completely asinine answers. Again, here's the links:

JUNE/INTERVIEW

Next up, I've got two appearances scheduled.

The first is a reading at G-Mart Comics on August 1st in Chicago. It's part of the Bizarro Hour organized by Michael Allen Rose, and if you've ever seen any of their shows before, it promises to be a fun and funny time. We start at 8, so if you're in the area, COME ON BY!

Here is the Facebook event page for the Bizarro Hour with all relevant information.

And finally, you can catch me at the ScareLA convention in...well..Los Angels. That is August 8th and 9th. I'll be boozing and schmoozing and if you're there, come up say HI to me and make me feel like a big shot!

Here's the Facebook page for ScareLA.

Both these "appearances" are a part of a 2 week cross country trip I will be on as I relocate from New Jersey to Portland, OR. Hopefully, my tires will stay inflated and the cops will regard my out-of-state plates with kindness.

That's all that's new in my world. Things will probably be picking up around here soon. There's a new novel that is quickly coming down the pike (should be available through Fungasm Press in October) and I have a few readings/performances slated for when I get to Portland, but I'm not sure of the dates yet.

Later lovelies!

New Flash Fiction and a New Audio Interview!

Hi fuckers!

That wasn't nice. I didn't mean to call you fuckers. I love you guys.

Here's some updates:

New (free) flash fiction available at Bizarro Central. It's called AN ALPHABETICAL LIST OF EVERY WOMAN I'VE EVER SLEPT WITH. It's exactly what it sounds like. Or is it? Click the link.

Also, I did an interview with my Stranger Danger buddy Kevin Strange for Adam Millard's new radio show Bizarro UK:

LISTEN TO US BULLSHIT AND TRY TO BE FUNNY BY CLICKING HERE.

That's about that for current updates.

I've been toying with the idea of actually staying up to date with this thing. Maybe doing a weekly update. Just letting everyone know what I've been up to and what cool shit some of my writer friends are up to that you might want to check out. As it is, I've just been using this blog as a 'link dump' to keep track of all my shit I've put out there in the world. What do you people think? Should I update this thing more? Does anyone even read this? Do you want to see my dick?

Other than that,

BYE BYE.
