Yay for me. I have a short story in a published book. Wow. This could be my first big step towards fame.
Okay, who am I kidding? I have a two-page weird-as-fuck story nestled amid a bunch of high-school poetry. What, I ask you, can be worse than reading high-school poetry?
Well, whatever. I might as well quit bitching and get to the point. Buy the book. I guarantee you it will be an unwise purchase, but I need my work to be exposed a little in the outside world. The only kind of feedback I'm got from school was, "Hey man, did you write that crazy story about the pear?"
"Yeah"
"It's fuckin' crazy!"
So, if you want, you can buy the book at Amazon, $20.00 for hardcover, $15.00 for trade paperback. Yeah, I know, the prices are a travesty. I had nothing to do with the publishing of this book. My story is just there.
If you do happen to buy it, let me just say that you will be my new hero. I'll build temples dedicated to you and create holidays where people celebrate your birth and your gruesome death.
My story is called "The Park Bench Saint". It's at the back of the book. J&SBSB is gonna own. Kevin Smith is my father. The End.
