1st Draft of New Book Complete & Upcoming Events

I haven’t posted in a bit, but that’s because I cloistered myself in my office over the holidays, ignored all of my relatives at Christmas, didn’t go out for NYE, and…. FINISHED THE 1ST DRAFT OF MY NEW BOOK!!!

This one is a little different than DSoD. It’s fiction, but it does take place in Walt Disney World and features tons of sex, drugs, violence, and bad language. I think anyone who enjoyed DSoD is going to get a kick out of this one, too.

The next step is to do a few more drafts to take it from good to awesome, and then send it off to an editor for a final spit-polish. Hoping for a completion date of March, with a release date maybe in May?

In the meantime I have a few events lined up that DSoD fans might be interested in:

Thursday, January 12, 2012. Taping an Interview for The WDW Dis-Cussion Show. This podcast gets better with every episode, and the hosts are very knowledgeable, so I’m really looking forward to discussing the parks with them! Not sure when the show will be released but I’ll post a link as soon as it is.

Friday, January 13, 2012 @ 9PM EST: Appearing on WDW After Dark with Draven Star. This is a live vidcast, and they’re not afraid of talking about “dark side” topics. One really neat thing about this show is that they have a dedicated chat where the audience can post questions during the broadcast. So start thinking of things you want to ask me and Draven!

Friday, January 27, 2012: Radio Appearance and Book Signing Event in Baltimore, MD – w/Draven Star. We’ll be appearing that morning on 98 Rock’s “Mickey, Amelia, and Spiegel” Morning Show to talk about DSoD stuff and to promote that evening’s book signing event at Atomic Books along with the “Smile, Hon” crew! We’re showing up to the radio station at 8:10AM, and the Atomic Books event is from 7-9PM. Apparently we’ll also be hanging out (i.e., drinking heavily) with Jeff Heimbuch that night at The Hunt Valley Inn. Jeff is a columnist at MiceAge and is also the author of the much-anticipated (for me anyway) Rolly Crump bio, “It’s Kind of a Cute Story”.

And, best of all, I’m planning another trip to Orlando for the near future! Details to come, but needless to say we’ll be coming up with some sort of clandestine get-together. Not a big party (saving that for October!) but some sort of formal meetup somewhere. Stay tuned for an announcement!
