This past Saturday night November 28th, Gary Wehrkamp (of the band Shadow Gallery, that headlined PPUSA in 2013) and his family lost their home and his place of business (recording studio) in a fire. No one was home at the time so everyone is safe, but they have lost everything but the clothes...

No problem, Glenn. I have no intention of going around promoting the book inside the venue or waving a sign. I am there to enjoy the festival as a patron, not as a retailer of a product. If anyone wants to buy the book because I'll be there in person, I'll make sure any arrangements are made...

I will have copies of the book at ProgPower on my person. Not setting up a vendor table because I want to enjoy the festival and not be stuck behind a table. So if you want a copy, which features many of ProgPower's alum, as well as a feature on Jen Harveston and ProgPower, then you can flag me...

sweet!

If I brought hard copies of the book to ProgPower, would anyone want to buy one? I would be willing to sell them cheaper than you can get it online currently + you save shipping costs ($40 for a softcover, $50 for the hardcover...cash or credit card). I have a limited supply leftover from the...

I'll put my vote in for A Sound of Thunder. I'd love to see Anubis Gate, too but not sure if it's too late to get visas for them.

Yes, I did pitch it to Bazillion Points. There was some initial interest before my manuscript was even written but because of my own personal delays and wanting complete control over the creative process, I decided to self-publish for now. I never bothered to send the manuscript to them so I...

You can't compare Mean Deviation to my book, sorry, as far as physical material. My book is larger, hardcover, with full color photographs and thicker paper, not a paperback like Mean Deviation. It's pretty much a coffee table book which always sells at a higher price unless you pick it up off...

The book is now finished and Indiegogo campaign perks will start going out as early as this week! A press release went out today and was featured on Blabbermouth...
