About me:
Humorist, journalist, fantasist, futurist, publicist, activist, cartoonist, and photographerist. Among other fine and sundry activities.
Who I'd like to meet:
Okay, look, every time I say "I'd like to meet so-and-so," they end up dead. DEAD! As in "listed in the obituaries" for god's sake! And no, I'm not kidding. Just ask Orson Welles. Oh, wait, you can't ask Orson Welles, because he's DEAD! Anyway, I think I am doing a good thing for the people of the world by not answering this question. (Oh, but I would like to meet Carl Rove.)

Death Metal by Armand Rosamilia {Sam's Dot Publishing}

www. genremall. com/fictionr. htm#deathmetal

Death Metal is a dark fantasy/horror novella published in trade paperback format.

No one had ever connected Daniel as the brains behind seven brutal concept albums about Satanism and the dark figure Natas, but when a teenager quotes lyrics from his literary work, Daniel fears his 10-year old daughter, Missy, is in trouble. His fears are founded when she is kidnapped. The kidnappers want Daniel to complete the last three albums for his former band--and return him to the demons he had tried to escape. Daniel can save her, but can he save himself?

"Rosamilia jams the E-major of dark crime in Death Metal. That scream you hear is the electric-soaked feedback of scorching prose." ~ Scott Nicholson, author of Scattered Ashes and multiple Stoker winner

Death Metal is a sharply written tale that starts quick and works its way to an edge-of-the seat ending you won't forget. It's one of those stories you just can't stop reading. Bravo! Or should I say Rock and Roll! ~ Laura J. Underwood, Author of The King's Wind and The Green Women

With Death Metal, Rosamilia keeps you anxious to turn each page, and leaves you wanting more. A spectacular read that will not disappoint. ~ C. S. Johnson, author of The Watching

Hey, thanks for becoming part of my "friend" space! I'm looking to get more plugged in with creatives worldwide through this social network.

My Xeric grant winning book "Jazz: Cool Birth" is now in September's Previews for preorder at comic shops, a murder mystery in a 1957 jazz bar, with art and type based on '50s album cover design, dig? Bebop for your glims.

I'm looking forward to exploring the MySpace pages of all of my new "friends" (Man, does that sound square).

Peace!
