    I recommend: TOYAH

    Check the classic "Ieya" and then the recent "These boots were made for walking" (featuring Robert Fripp)

    An interview would be grand... if made by you!

    Thanks very much for the friend add.

    True talent has always had to push a bolder up a mountain just for half a chance to fart down a telephone at an audience.

    All the best

    i hope it'll make it to the box offices, too!
    your novels would make really excellent films that a lot of people can relate to.
    -and high school isn't too bad. only 8 more weeks, thank goodness!
    how's being an adult going?
    haha:)

    so i'm sad to admit that, thanks to high school, i've been
    slacking on keeping myself updated with IWBYJR.
    :( damn high school.
    anyway, is there still a possibility IWBYJR will become a motion picture?

About me:

I write books and sling drinks.

BALLADS OF SUBURBIA is my newest book, which comes out July 21, 2009.



BALLADS OF SUBURBIA Book Trailer:



About BALLADS OF SUBURBIA:

There are so many ballads. Achy breaky country songs. Mournful pop songs. Then there’s the rare punk ballad, the ballad of suburbia: louder, faster, angrier . . . till it drowns out the silence.

Kara hasn’t been back to Oak Park since the end of junior year, when a heroin overdose nearly killed her and sirens heralded her exit. Four years later, she returns to face the music. Her life changed forever back in high school: her family disintegrated, she ran around with a whole new crowd of friends, she partied a little too hard, and she fell in love with gorgeous bad boy Adrian, who left her to die that day in Scoville Park. . . .

Amidst the music, the booze, the drugs, and the drama, her friends filled a notebook with heartbreakingly honest confessions of the moments that defined and shattered their young lives. Now, finally, Kara is ready to write her own.

Read the first chapter here! (Please note this is not the final version as it will appear in the book.)

My first book, I WANNA BE YOUR JOEY RAMONE, came out in July of 2008.


About I WANNA BE YOUR JOEY RAMONE:

A raw, edgy, emotional novel about growing up punk and living to tell.

The Clash. Social Distortion. Dead Kennedys. Patti Smith. The Ramones.
Punk rock is in Emily Black’s blood. Her mother, Louisa, hit the road to follow the incendiary music scene when Emily was four months old and never came back.
Now Emily’s all grown up with a punk band of her own, determined to find the tune that will bring her mother home. Because if Louisa really is following the music, shouldn’t it lead her right back to Emily?
Get a sneak peek of the first chapter here
