Subliminal Messiah Cover* * *Twilight of the Wolves

If you want a book signed this weekend, it’s important you order it ASAP, since Eddy and I have both nearly exhausted our personal stashes. That’s good news, in a way, but we’d hate for someone to miss out.

Otherwise, if you can make it out to Maple Grove tonight, they should have Subliminal Messiah on hand.

Shhh, it’s a secret.


 

You can get Eddy’s latest book, Twilight of the Wolves, on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. And whie you’re at it, take a look at his other books. The man is prolific.

Subliminal Messiah is my first novel, and is currently available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble as well.

Both books are available right now at an online discount from Amazon and Barnes & Noble, so be sure to check that out.

Subliminal Messiah Teaser Trailer

Here’s the first teaser trailer for Subliminal Messiah.

Stay tuned for a longer trailer with more information about the book and soundtrack. The soundtrack will be a 14 track long free download, available soon.

But if you enter the Goodreads.com giveaway (which ends February 12th!) you can win one of ten signed copies of the book, as well as a physical CD of the soundtrack, along with other cool swag yet to be announced.

Even though the studio’s hopes were rather low going in to the release, this figure was still a bit less than they’d expected. Quickly dubbed the “ultimate anti-date flick”, the film grossed around 37 million above production cost (of just over 67 million). Ouch. As with most movies based on books, the film is almost always a bit of a letdown, and this is what people expected.

However, despite its less-than-enthusiastic reception in theaters, Fight Club has since become a cult classic and enjoyed an award-winning DVD release. I can say with confidence that this is one of those rare instances where the film and the book stand on their own artistic merits, each serving to compliment the experience of its counterpart.  Continue reading

The New Beck Album You Can’t Hear

[Originally published September, 2012 at Manarchy Magazine]

Those who rightly mourn the way overproduced, made-to-order pop-rock with all its lip-synced, pitch-corrected, soullessness has been slowly taking over the airwaves should breathe a sigh of relief when Beck finally releases his new album.

Of sheet music.

You read that right. Sheet music. Continue reading
