Andy's Tribute to Mick

Andy Colquhoun made and posted a very nice tribute to Mick on Youtube. Give it a watch here.

If you liked the cover art to Hoods, Hot Rods, and Hellcats, you should head over to Kickstarter now and help fund the latest project from Sleepy Oni, a.k.a Skott Kilander.

A limited-edition pack of trading cards featuring selected covers from the 20th Century's greatest non-existent periodical!

Hoods News

Hoods, Hot Rods,and Hellcats has suddenly netted a fistful of reviews on Amazon in the past couple days. Go check them out, if you’re still on the fence about the anthology.

Also, if you missed it, Nigel Bird was kind enough to not only let me ramble about Hoods but review it himself.

Win An Autographed Copy

If you participated in the Indiegogo campaign for Hoods, Hot Rods, and Hellcats, one of the donation level gifts was a paperback copy with a bookplate signed by all the writers except Mick Farren.

Now that all the gifts have been shipped and received, it turns out that I’ve got an extra book plate. So a paperback copy signed by all the writers can be yours and here’s how:

Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran

• Purchase a copy of Hoods, Hot Rods, and Hellcats.
• Message me proof of purchase, either through email, Facebook, or this blog by April 17th, 2014.
• Make sure the subject line reads: HHH — SIGNED COPY.
• On April 18^th, I’ll pick a name at random, contact you to get your mailing address, and then drop your plated book in the mail.

Why April 17^th? The first person to guess correctly, gets an entry.

Hoods Is Now Available

Hoods, Hot Rods, and Hellcats is finally available at Amazon. Seeing this through from idea to development to crowdfunding to final release in the world proved to take a lot longer than I thought, but that’s okay. I learned a great deal and, ultimately, the length of time only affects me and my overdeveloped sense of obligation.

I hope you’ll take the time to check it out. The ebook is $1.00 and the paperback is $7.50, though if you buy the paperback you can get the ebook free as part of the match program. (If you’re looking for the epub version, message me directly.) There’s some great stories in there. Any one of them is worth the price of the book and the late Mick Farren’s introduction is pretty amazing.

Also, if you're interested, over on my personal blog, I have an entry discussing my motivations for doing Hoods in the first place and some mistakes I made in taking it from idea to crowdfunding project to the final product. I think it's useful.

Long Overdue Update

After a great deal of delays, the final editions signed by everyone (except Mick) are going out in the mail. Expect wide release in a couple days.
