Stories I Told Myself now Available

It’s my first book in print. And I couldn’t be happier with it. It features the best of the Seanachai, and two new works. “Getting Shot” the story of me, well, getting shot when I lived in Los Angeles and “The Rhetoric of Audio” in which I try to sum up everything I’ve learned about writing for the medium.

Go buy one… for everyone you know.

So, I’m driving home one night and I get shot. Twice with one bullet, actually. It’s not a joke, it’s a true story. And like all true stories that don’t end in death, it is ultimately a comedy.
On March 24th at 9 pm I am going to read this story live on Stickam.com and I hope you’ll join me. It’s the story I have been trying to tell every since I started the Seanachai. And now that I  finally got it on the page, it seems only fitting that this is going to be the last Seanachai episode.
Yes,  the Seanachai is ending. It’s not the end of me producing and releasing content on the internet for free, but it is time to bring thispodcast to a decent and honorable close. Send it off in style. Give the auld storyteller a proper wake.
P.G. Holyfield is going to help me. We’ll take questions and calls, reminisce about times and episodes past. I hope to have a few special guest appearances.  And I promise that I will have a couple of exciting medium-sized announcements about the future and what’s next.

March 24th, 9pm until, well, until we’re done. I hope you’ll join us at Stickam.com for a “Wake for the Seanachai.”
