Upcoming Performances and My New Podcast!

Friends and Strangers Alike!

We're hitting the road next week (or rather, the sky, as I'll be taking an airplane) to take PUPPET SKIN out across America! Well, at least *part* of America. Denver, LA, and Portland LISTEN UP because we got some performances scheduled inside of you:

To wit: 

Oct. 18th in Denver 

Oct. 21st in LA/Burbank

Nov. 4th in Portland

These are going to be some pretty special and theatrical performances with a lot of funny and talented people (too many to tag them all) so if you ever wanted to check out a literary event THIS IS ONE YOU SHOULDN'T MISS.

And changing the subject entirely:

My girlfriend Lisa and I have just started a new comedy podcast called THE DANGER & LISA SHOW.

Available on iTunes, Stitcher, or directly from our host at Libsyn, here is the shows description:

It's a show where we just talk. To each other. For an hour. And that's it.

New episodes release every THURSDAY so make sure you subscribe.

Other than that, PUPPET SKIN is back up on Amazon proper, so make sure you pick up your copies while the getting iS good.

I love you all and thanks for the continued support

Calling All Book Bloggers!!!

So, with the release of I WILL ROT WITHOUT YOU just a month away (Feb. 8th) I figured why not paddle on out to see if we can catch another couple of waves before the book drops.

IF YOU ARE A BOOK BLOGGER/REVIEW/MAGAZINE/ETC. and are interested in obtaining a review copy of I WILL ROT WITHOUT YOU please SEND ME A MESSAGE. I could hook you up! I'd be much appreciated, and trust me, you're gonna like the book. If you don't believe me take a peep at the Goodreads page where some of the Indiegogo campaign supports are starting to leave their reviews:

OTHER NEWS:

I'm performing some "comedy" in Portland tomorrow night (Jan 8th) at the Gilbert Road Grotesque show (hosted by Garrett Cook). If you live in SE Portland, this is the most interesting thing you're going to do tomorrow:

GILBERT ROAD GROTESQUE

Hope to hear/see you soon!

Appearances!

Come find me at BizarroCon (Nov. 5th-8th) and we can drink a beer named after my upcoming book I WILL ROT WITHOUT YOU:

I will be reading/performing a selection from I WILL ROT WITHOUT YOU on Friday night at the Eraserhead Press party. I will also be on a panel on Saturday as well as performing (again) in the Ultimate Bizarro Showdown on Saturday night, in addition to having my co-authored book STRANGER DANGER (momentarily out-of-print) up for a Wonderland Award! Full schedule of events here. It's going to be quite a weekend. And attendees will be the first people to be able to score copies of I WILL ROT WITHOUT YOU because they will be on sale at the convention only until their official release date on Dec. 1st.

AND SPEAKING OF APPEARANCES:

Come see me read/perform AGAIN the following weekend at LIVING DEAD HORROR CONVENTION (Nov. 13th-15th). This is going to be a GREAT TIME at Portland's first celebrity horror convention. Check out the event page if you don't believe me. Besides reading, I will be working/hanging out at the convention all weekend and helping my buddy (who organized this event) Deanna keep things running smoothly. JOIN US, WON'T YOU?

Both these things are happening here in Portland. Get your ass on a plane. Come hang out!

Love,

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!

Danger!
