Mooch

Get the money. Get the girl. Get it all for free.
The mail came yesterday, and with it came a copy of my friend's new novel.

Adam Palmer just recently had his novel "Mooch" published and released. Back when I lived in Tulsa, we had many musical adventures together; many live ones, and some when I recorded his band's demos in my recording studio.

He's one of those guys that is funny, who is just naturally cool, and has potential running out of his ears. Refreshing thing is; he's one of the few guys like that who's actually doing something with those gifts.


I was allowed to read the book before it was printed, as I was asked to give an endorsement. Why me? Because I'm known the world over as an authority on good writing. No, that's not it. Actually, I have no idea why I was asked, but I'm glad that I was.

At first, as you can probably imagine, I was nervous to read it. I have become accustomed to Adam's writing talent and know what he is capable of, but what if my friend's book stunk? Not surprisingly however, my worry was short-lived, because the sideways humor paired with the inspiring story grabbed me from start to finish.

I became happier for Adam the further I read, knowing that his great talent was about to be released to the masses. Good for the masses.

Get a copy of "Mooch"for yourself HERE.

Other books by Adam include:
Taming A Liger: Unexpected Spiritual Lessons From Napoleon Dynamite, and Cracking DaVinci's Code, Student Edition.

One Night With A Rock Star

My wife Chana, (yes that's really my wife, and don't ask how I fooled her into marrying me - that's not the point here ..... she's hot though) ...anyway, Chana (sounds like Shawna) is in the editing stage of her first novel. The title is ONE NIGHT WITH A ROCK STAR. (Now, who ain't gonna pick that one up for a look-see at Borders?)

She's been writing it since last June, and after much prayer and many sleep-deprived nights, the 1st draft was finished a few weeks back. She's now going through the steps to prepare it for "the big pitch" to publishers, etc.

I'm so proud of her, and I'm really happy that she has discovered this creative outlet. If you don't know her already, she's a gifted actress and singer, but she's shelved those ambitions for now to concentrate on our family full-time (we have four kids). Now, she's doing that and has managed to complete her first book! What a woman!
