I know that I link them alot, but I love what the Booked guys did with Warmed and Bound. For a ton of intereviews with the authors, and a review of the book, check it out.

Booked's support was amazing. Amazeballs, or whatever the hep cats are saying these days. We even transcribed several of those interviews and included them in the Kindle edition (all the individual episodes were linked by author as well). I'm way biased, because I have a story in there and helped out behind the scenes, but it's got a killer balance of established and emerging authors, and so many people have told me the stories they dug the most came from unexpected sources. Hell, we got Steve Erickson to do the foreword.
yeah, it's really an amazing collection. i tweeted about all of the stories, here's my recap 140 characters max of every story in the collection. should get you excited about purchasing this book:
Yeah Gordon, that vid is sweet. Shit people, if you have not got a hold of this and wondering what the hell we are talking about--do it.
It is a very diverse and surprising collection. And fun. Really unpredictable and a lot of these guys (and handful of gals) names are going to be big.
I have just been informed that the meandering Warmed and Bound has fallen into the very sexy hands of Anthony David Jacques.
Thanks Clev for sending our baby along.
Chester, can you tell us what you're talking about?
-I don't know what I am talking about most of the time, so how could I tell you? He-he.
But I will try. It is the Warmed and Bound World Tour. A book with legs that goes out partying with every single one of the Warmed and Bound authors.
Sometimes it parties in groups. Richard Thomas said it made out with Donald Ray Pollock and his ink squirted on it.
Gordon and Brandon partied with it then Brandon Tietz took it back to his apartment and rumor has it, he slept with it. I don't know if any of this is true, it is just what the book tells me when it calls home. Its speech is usually so slurred I can hardly make out what its saying. Here is a picture of W&B taking a nap at Brandons:
I have some more pics I will pull out of the coffer. I think everyone who has slept with it took some too, plus, like I said, it is equipped with its own micro cam.
Amanda Gowin thought that was kinda creepy.
that's because the book was sticky when i got it :(
i had a full STD scan after i signed Craig C's, Craig W's and eddy's stories.....
for the record those weren't the stickiest ones.
Hell yes Richard.
And the book is telling me all kinds of stories.
It had to come home. It kept calling me telling me it was having way to good of a time. It requested rehab.
I gave it a drink. It decided rehab could wait.
I was surprised at what good shape it's in after all of the insane parties.
And who is responsible for christening it with "World Tour?" That person gets special treatment.
Gordon, I smelled your pages. Cigar, Pizza and....
You guys rock.
So W&B is going to catch up on some much needed zzz's. It is going to need some energy for SGJ at Powell's. Its skin is going to get inked up that evening.
