Just got word that the super-cool and long-running literary journal, The Louisville Review, will be publishing my play, “Los Camioneros,” in their fall issue. The play is about immigrant smugglers, and it’s based on true events. And since it’s coming out in The Louisville Review, my recommendation is that you enjoy it with bourbon. I’m thinking Basel Hayden’s.
My memoir, Hitless Wonder: A Life in Minor League Rock and Roll, has found an excellent home. Lyons Press will publish the book in Spring 2012.
The hepcats at Barrelhouse Magazine have just released their Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll edition, an issue so sexy, so drug-addled, so flat-out fricking rocking, you might catch the clap just from reading it. Inside you’ll find “Age of Consent,” an excerpt from my memoir, Hitless Wonder, wherein our hero finally gets the girl.
