Outsider Writers Plugs The Love Book

Caleb J. Ross, author of the fantastic collection Charactered Pieces, just posted a nice review of The Love Book by yours truly on Outsider Writers. If I had to pick my favorite line from the review, I’d roll with this:

Perhaps The Love Book is the memoir of every damaged soul who has ever asked, selfishly or not, for such a simple thing as love.

Most impressive is that these characters are able to repeatedly dodge indefinite depression to end up, if not happy, at least with a more thorough understanding of what could bring that happiness.

You can check the rest of the review here. And if you haven’t read the dark, gritty tales in The Love Book yet, what the bloody ‘ell are you waiting for?

The Love Book Hits the iTunes 100

I’m happy to say that The Love Book, my new short story collection, cracked the iTunes Top 100 Literature Podcasts list this week. It jumped up to #76 as of Tuesday, October 2nd (click on the image to enlarge the listing).

It’s great news and nice to see that more and more people are discovering the audiobook podcast. If you haven’t given it a listen yet, here is what a few readers have already said about the collection:

“This is very dark and has highly amusing moments. Deep and somewhat thought provoking.”

“Quirky, darkly entertaining stories. The fab ohmar might be my favorite story as well. Some of the imagery in there was just too good.”

“This kept my attention and was very visual even the implied references to abuse. My hat goes off to Mr. Wohlrob.”

“Loved the first installment of the fab ohmar. Can’t wait to hear the next one.”

So if you still haven’t checked out the audiobook podcast of The Love Book, what in the bloody ‘ell are you waitin’ for? You can subscribe to the audiobook podcast via:
