Skylight Books and a Lime Rickey

Great news today people. Things that Suck is now for sale at Skylight Books on Vermont Ave., right in the heart of Los Feliz. This is another fantastic bookstore, and I must say, it's very exciting to be on shelves just a stone's throw from Marty & Elaine at The Dresden. Drop by the register and pick up a copy before your movie at the Los Feliz 3 or after you've tossed back a few highballs while listening to the world's greatest lounge duet. Special thanks to Justin for taking a chance on the little red book.

Two new stores...

Thanks to the help of my friend Rose, Things that Suck is now for sale in two more stores! If you're near the beach, you'll find it on the counter of Hennessey + Ingalls in Santa Monica, and at Hi De Ho Comics & Books with Pictures, just down the road.

These are two amazing booksellers, and I'm honored to be rubbing covers with some very respectable titles. I kind of wish I had time to hide near the register and see if anyone picks it up. (Would that be too weird?)

Anyway, thanks Rose! And thanks to everyone who's been coming to the site, buying the book and sending their support.

I'm in my first store!

Very excited to report that I am officially in my first retail location, Yolk. I can't believe it! This is one my favorite stores in Silver Lake, and, living just up the road, I've probably passed by it thousands of times. Hard to believe they're actually selling something I made, but there you have it. And even if you don't go there to buy my book, Yolk is great to know about, because they sell fantastic gifts for both adults and kids. If you know of any other stores like it where you are, please let me know!

Things that Suck: hopefully not my book

So I've written a book. Who knew I had it in me?? Well, I shouldn't take too deep a bow. I mean, the thing doesn't even have complete sentences. But still, it's a book, with a cover and pages numbers and everything. Time to slap a price tag on it and see what happens, right?

Holy crap. What if people don't buy my book? That would suck!! And then I'd have to print another edition just so I could include that on the list.

Anyway, I've decided to start keeping a record of my progress from this point forward. That is to say, I have a published book, ready to sell. Now what?

Stay tuned! I'll be posting updates on my progress and soliciting your advice, opinions and creativity along the way. What's more, I've learned lots about the process of actually making a book, so keep an eye out for fascinating tidbits on this subject as well.

Okay. That's it for now...

See you soon and thanks for reading!
