What kind of psycho announces and then drops a new book on the same day?
It’s me. I’m the psycho.
Sunny Days of Rain, my twelfth book and second essay collection, is out now. This video gives you all the information (and affirmations) you need, but I did write a few quick notes for you if you don’t have the time. (I get it.)
1. I was worried I wouldn’t have enough material for this collection. Ha! The paperback version of Time is a Solid State is 451 pages; Sunny Days of Rain is 824, holding over 120,000 words.
2. I care a lot about my essays. Like, way too much. I spend a lot of time thinking about them, a lot of time writing them, and they are a genuine way I express myself. I love them and I love publishing these collections.
3. That being said, I acknowledge the people who can be jerks about my writing in the video. I compare them to people who go to book clubs but haven’t read the book. All due respect to human beings and their opinions but, also, fuck those people, you know? We live in a era where butchers argue with scientists over science and it’s just a part of life now.
4. There are THREE (3) exclusive, signed copies of Sunny Days of Rain available on my website, while supplies last. Why are they exclusive? They come with a secret gift that I can’t talk about but I’m really excited to share. Only three! While supplies last! Go get ’em!
5. You can get a million copies of Sunny Days of Rain on the other website, and I hope you do. Get paperbacks and hardcovers for your family, friends, lovers, enemies, strangers, and pets.
6. Love you all. Truly. Thank you for still supporting me, for sending me messages in the middle of the night telling me what my writing means to you, for being here. You’re all the best (except those of you who are the worst).
All this and more in the video, it’s a good one, sorry I avoided you and hibernated all January, now you know why, I’m back, baby, go get this badonk of a book!
