   Dr Frank's Blurbs
About me:
The King Dork paperback officially comes out on Feb. 12. and vaguely related to it is this stuff:

Monday, Feb. 25:
I'll be at Moe's Books in Berkeley doing the usual song and dance. (2426 Telegraph Avenue, Berkeley. 7:30 PM. Free.)

Thursday, Feb 28:
I'll be rebelling and reading at the Noise Pop event listed here. Beth Lisick and a few other writerly types will be there as well. 12 Galaxies, 2565 Mission St. San Francisco. 7 pm. $5.

Friday March 7:
Reading etc. at Books, Inc., Palo Alto. Town & Country Village, 855 El Camino Real. 7 PM. Free. 650.321.0600.

About Me: I'm a pretend rock star, "singer," songwriter, and "musician."

My debut novel is out now, under my actual real name Frank Portman. It's called King Dork, and the cover looks like this:

You can order it from Amazon here.

Here's the cover of the UK edition, which is out on Penguin in August 2007 and can be ordered here:


britdork135.jpg


(So I guess I'm a "novelist" now, too. I'm working on another YA novel now, and writing songs for another rock and roll album.)

My band is the Mr. T Experience (MTX.) And here's my website. My blog is here.

That's pretty much all anyone would want to know, I reckon.

Who I'd like to meet:
Whomever.

I have one regret in life and that is not purchasing Our Bodies, Our Selves. I have tried everywhere to find a place to buy it but being so isolated as I am. I have not been able to. If I only still had that turn table >.

Frank, I'd love to witness this song and dance. However, I live in Canada which basically cuts me off from the rest of the world and limits my fun to zero.

Anyway, I'm a huge fan of your pretend work in band etc.

Praise for Live Through This:

“A stunning book. I found myself dreaming
conversations with some of the writers—engaging in the
conversation they begin here.”

- Dorothy Allison, author of ‘Bastard Out of Carolina’

“This intimate book gives you all the tools for
self-emergence. Grabbing a pen, a crayon, a camera can
be the means to an artistic process that will help you
figure out who you are, and how you fit in."

- Janeane Garofalo, comedienne

"Finally! A compendium of articulate artists who
detail their personal struggles to rise above the
traumas so many young women are usually forced to face
alone. LIVE THROUGH THIS showcases a diverse
sisterhood of outsiders who have bravely chosen to
tackle their demons, confront their tormentors, and in
turn create art which is both extremely intimate, yet
desires to inspire others to find the undeniable power
of their own voice."

- Lydia Lunch, author of 'Paradoxia: A Predator's Diary'

ACE FACIAL





Mar 26 2008 4:05 PM

Okay. So I've been thinking... Tit is still monitoring Mr. Dork's every move via (fake) Fiona by way of Sam Hellerman's unknowing assistance. It's so obvious.

There's a sequel (which will pave the way for a prequel) here!

Hey, Frank--no matter how much time you spend reading and rebelling and pretending to be a rock star, you're still a straight-up, egghead writer. (Hint: "whomever.")

Great to meet you.
