Johnny, have you ever felt like being inspired from the band during your writing?

And, congratulations. It is a blast to find out that such talent exists in this forum. :corn:

Most definitely. There might even be one PJ reference somewhere near the middle of the book. I listened to quite a bit of PJ and Ed tunes while I was writing.. mostly acoustic stuff because the heavier stuff can get distracting. And thanks jumbojet!

I always consider special requests, especially yours.

Thanks again all! I sometimes dislike the idea of peddling stuff here, but this book has quite a few musical references and inspirations, so I thought it might be right up your alley.

Funny you should say that -- the first book cover design had a font that looked 100% like Jonny BALLS.
There's a play on words there (on purpose)... a few of them

a small spoiler... in the first 10-15 pages, Jonny Bails requires a friend to carry him passed out drunk. But he cleans it up as stuff gets rolling.

Thanks chadwick! and yes, publishing is evolving quickly and the book world is going through a major face-lift.

btw, your poetry book rides along side my poetry book to ever music gig I have in my handy dandy carrying case for good luck.

Hey G! I will have some copies, and I am working on getting it in a few shops around LW and WPB. There arent any book stores that I know of, so I'm looking at places like Top-5 records in downtown LW.

Thank you, however I'd like to buy one just boost sales and maybe your ego. This sounds and reads like the kind of books I like to read especially since I have a bit of a break with it being summer and the kids seem to have left the house. So Top-5 records in LW just let me know when and if they get them in, I'll get one....then hopefully down the road you could sign it....it should jump in value then.

Peace

Got my electronic copy

I will take the tablet to Chicago, maybe I can squeeze in a couple of pages there ... Congratulations!

I appreciate that as it does boost my sales numbers when bought online. But i'll update you when I get them in stores locally too.
I've heard from most folks that it is a quick, easy, and fun summertime read.

I really should've spelled his name Jonny Bales (not Bails), huh?

Thank you of the girl!
