Wred Fright Novels Available At Roxy's Emporium

On the blog, the past couple of months have been devoted to the new album:  Old New Battered Blue (give it a listen if you haven't already; it's available pretty much wherever you can find digital music), but that doesn't mean there hasn't been other stuff going on, so I'm catching up on things now and the next couple of posts.  One fun thing was stocking my novels at Roxy's Emporium in Elyria, Ohio USA.  My old pals Ken and Suz let Deb, the proprietor, know that she needed to add an author to her cool local writers section:  me!  So I brought over some books.  Ken filmed a funny video they put up at the Roxy's Facebook page.  It is here, though they seem to have missed the "W" in "Wred" (Oh, well, it's silent anyway):  https://www.facebook.com/reel/1669968207532659 

There aren't too many places one can walk in and buy my books.  Mac's Backs in Cleveland Heights, Ohio USA has a few.  At one point, Skylight Books in Los Angeles, California USA had some copies of The Pornographic Flabbergasted Emus.  Mainly, I sell my books by mail order/online, but it's nice to be able to walk into a bookstore and find some indie literature, so thanks to Roxy's for stocking my novels!

They were on the bottom shelf the day I dropped them off because Deb was planning on reorganizing the local writers section, so I hope no one spilled coffee on them or no kids get to them (they're for mature readers generally).  It's a really nice local writers section.  When I get out there again, I already know one novel I'll be picking up.  The little mall the bookstore is in also has some other cool shops including Voodoo Zombie Video, a fun horror movie store run by Ken and Suz, and a waffle place that looked fun but was still getting set to open the day I was there.

Check out my latest novel, The Front Yard War, which you can now find at Roxy's!

Old New Battered Blue Out On Spotify

The new album is out on Spotify, so presumably the distributor now has it just about everywhere digital music is available.  There's a zillion musicians out there releasing zillions of songs, but check it out if you like Modest Mouse, The Fall, Wire, Sonic Youth, The Sex Pistols, Flipper, Butthole Surfers, Mirrors, The Damned, Social Distortion, and the other artists Spotify must think I sound like based on their fun Wred Fright Radio.

Old New Battered Blue On Bandcamp!

 
The new album's out on Bandcamp now also.  This one has my secret mastering trick on it (I burn a cd, normalize volume, then rip the tracks from the cd--boy, how fancy!), so it sounds a little less intense than the original recordings on Soundcloud.  Now you have your pick of audio!  The embedded album starts with "the single", but just use the arrows to go back to the beginning or forward to a later track.  It looks like the album's on Spotify now also, but I haven't listened to it yet to make sure it sounds all right.  The next post will probably deal with that.
