“GLADIATOR” is now shipping from Amazon!
Posted in American Gladiators, Book on February 1st by Dan.
Amazon.com is the 800 pound guerilla. GRRR! Hear them roar! I just had a few people email me letting me know they’ve already received their books! A couple things I find that are absolutely amazing about this. Firstly, how in the hell does Amazon get their books so early??? WTF! GLADIATOR isn’t available in stores until Feb 9th. Secondly, I had a couple people hit my up on my MySpace and Facebook page and told me the devoured the entire book in one night. That just blows me away! It’s been such a long journey. It’s hard to believe that I’ve gone from Nitro and spandex to author. It’s still really hasn’t settled in.
I’m finding hands down favorite chapter for the guys: ”Playboy Bunnies, Porn Strippers and Strippers.” I thought that just as a matter of course… all men kinda went through this phase and experienced this. I guess not.
Favorite chapter for the women? That’s a tough one. So far astonishingly they seem to LOVE the ENTIRE BOOK (well maybe except for the men’s favorite chapter). They love the rawness, candidness, the emotionality, and the unflinchingly honest peek behind the veil into a man’s mind and heart. They love how unabashedly personal the book is. And, that my friends, pretty much encapsulates the differences between the sexes. And of course, this is just a generality. There’s plenty of dude out there (including me) who can roll a tear.
Above all else — the early readers are telling me that’s it so much more than a book about Gladiators. It’s a book about a human life that Gladiators and steroids were a part of. Ugh! It really feels like I’m selling here. But I’m not. I’m just relaying what folks are saying to me. Hell, after you read, chime in here and let me know what you think. And once again, here is an excerpt from the book to get you started, so you can see what the hell I’m talking about!

Also (nearly forgot) here’s a little mention in: TIME Magazine. Click here to see how it actually appeared in the print version.

Dan, that’s terrific that the book is already shipping. Wow.
….I loved reading the proof. Couldn’t put it down. I’ll let you know when the book lands at the Barnes & Noble in Tribeca.
Yeah I can’t wait for it to arrive in the mail!
I hope you got more books comming out soon.
Nitro has been a positive influence on me not to take sh*t from anyone and to be bring out the best athlete in myself.
