Fight Club, Pygmy, and Choke author extraordinaire — Chuck Palahniuk — read Gladiator – A True Story of Roids, Rage and Redemption and said:       

"If you only read one book… this year, this has to be it!" 

Here’s the full review in The Week Magazine or on the Daily Beast website.  I’m a little star struck that he’d pick Gladiator, but I honestly think the book is deserving of these kind words.  When I started writing the book — I wanted it to be an candid, frank look at a life — and have it be an illumination of the fragility of the human condition.  

I wasn’t interested in doing a tell-all.  I am interested in the art of story telling.  I’m glad I didn’t take the easy route and incriminate people — but instead bled on the page — exposed the inner machinations of my soul — and let light and life into places that were once dark.  

If you haven’t read Chuck’s books yet… you don’t know what your missing.  He’s one of the finest testosterone-driven authors we have.  The book "Fight Club" is so much better than the movie.   Go to his site now ChuckPalahnuik.net and check him out.    I’m most curious if women find him appealing?  Let me know. Also just got back from Florida.  

Did the morning show in Orlando on Fox, as well as, the morning show in Tampa on CBS.  My favorite radio station there is SportsChix on the AM Dial! Lastly, I know a lot of people have been asking for me to put up video of all the TV interviews.   It’s on my to do list when I get back from my Book Tour / Road Trip at the end of next week! 

Be Brilliant!

Had a rocking time tonight at Third Street Books in Seattle Washington while promoting my Gladiator – A True story of Roids, Rage and Redemption. Special thanks to my sis’ Michelle and her crew for showing up.  Also Jessica the host from Third Street books rocked and was great.  She’s a voracious reader and compared my writing style to that of Chuck Palahniuk of Fight Club, Choke fame.  Blown away.  A huge compliment cause I’m a big fan of Chuck’s in your face, unrelenting style.  

Also a shout out to the Ron and Don radio show in Seattle for having me on air with them and publicizing the book event.  Peace be with you guys.  

Off to sleep and onto Orcas Island Washington for a little R&R.
