Author Talk With Rachelle Atkins, Visart Video, May 24, 2025

 Ever since my friend Rachelle Atkins released her first book, Sleep Like Starfish, I've wanted to put together an authors conversation with her. I then released three books in one day, and we decided to put it all together into one party.

On May 24th at 7pm, you can visit myself and Shel at for a conversation about books, writing and lots of other topics. We will have our books there for sale, as well. Spread the word, and I will see you at Visart, and see you on the road.

Three New Books From Me

On Monday, in honor of St. Patrick's Day, and because I felt like doing it, I released three new books. Three new, massive books, in one day.

For some time, I have wanted to collect my print interviews over the past thirty years. Afters years scouring all over to find the work of other artists, I realized that I wanted my own work to be collected and released in one place, and hopefully find new readers and listeners in the process. Sooner or later, the work we create lives on away from us, and eventually beyond us.

Two of the books reflect my love of the music of the 1960s. My Flash On You, Volumes One And Two collects interviews with everyone from the Animals, Big Star, Cyrkle, Left Banke, Sonics, Procol Harum, Love and many more. The third, Hurried Documents, collects interviews ranging from Douglas Adams, to baseball players, Marx Brothers writers, musicians, and many others. All of these books also chart my journey as a writer and interviewer, and collector of stories.

All three books are available on Amazon, via the links below, and soon to be at your favorite local bookstore. These are interesting times that we live in. Ultimately, all one can do some days is stand in the wind, run your flag up the pole and say, I'm doing this. Because you want to, whether or not the world is watching. And hey, how many times in your life can you say, I released three books today?

Today is that day.

Enjoy, and see you on the road.
