I don’t have too much to post about this morning, since my post yesterday was kinda late in the day, for me, and I don’t have much new stuff to post about yet.

But I want to start off by saying again: THANK YOU!!!

The sales ranking on Amazon this morning, for my eBook Twilight of the Immortal, made me so happy!!

#125 in Gay Fiction, and #310 in Historical Fiction!! Yay!

If you’re new to the blog — I self-published this novel in 2011 (it was published by a very small university press in 2010, but I withdrew it from them immediately because it was published with tons of typos that weren’t even in the original manuscript that I’d given them).

But before that, every publisher my agent submitted my book to, turned it down. And not because I presented Rudolph Valentino — “The World’s Greatest Lover” — as openly bisexual, but because there were “too many lesbians” in the book and they didn’t know how they would market it!

It was so fucking frustrating.

Anyway. It got great reviews when I first self-published it, and it sold okay for me at first, but this recent flurry, all these years later, makes me really happy. Even though it’s a free download, and I don’t make any money off of it, it still makes me happy to think that people are actually reading the book. To say I put my heart into writing it is such an understatement, gang.

Thanks everybody! You can still download it HERE for free until Thursday Nov. 12th.

Okay!

This coming Sunday afternoon, November 15th, I’ll be doing an interview for YouTube with Alex S. Johnson for his “Kandy Fontaine Show”.

I’ll let you know when it will actually air. I’m looking forward to doing the interview.

And this evening, at the close of work, I’m getting a free introductory appointment with one of our in-house massage therapists. This one is for lymphatic drainage massage and energy flow!

I’m very curious to see how it goes, since I’ve never done anything like it before. I’m doing it to be able to tell customers what it is and what to expect.

It should be really interesting!

***********

And Friday after work — if possible– I’m going to hurry over to the Cinemaplex at the mall that is literally 3 minutes from the store, to see this!! (Well, the film, I mean! Not the premiere in London…)

Here’s Johnny Depp at the world premiere of “Ebenezer” in London yesterday!!

***********

And the only reason I probably won’t be attending this in Zurich, is because my German is not too great, gang. Even though I did study German many, many years ago. I only remember about 3 words…

But here’s Blixa Bargeld!! He’s giving a poetry lecture in Zurich next week!!

*************

And from Facebook!!

It’s another really great day to be alive!!

Nick Cave!! Onstage!! Singing into a microphone!!

***********

And, yes! That is it for today.

I did speak with my best friend Valerie in Brooklyn briefly and she is really thrilled with the results from the first cataract surgery. She was finally able to take the patch completely off in the daylight and she could actually see again! I am so happy for her!!

And on that note…

Have a terrific Tuesday, wherever you are in the world, gang!

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys! See ya!

Let’s close with this!

I did indeed receive the new CD yesterday, No Sleep ’til L.A., commemorating Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers’ 50th anniversary year.

So far, this song is my favorite! They recorded it somewhere between, like, 1973-1975 (?). Not really sure exactly. But until now, it was never released.

“Sin City”, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, No Sleep ’til L.A.

“Sin City”

Come here and cuddle up next to me baby
Don’t get too close, aye
Just might strike

I just wanna hiss in your ear
Baby’s goin’ underground
You know it’s kinda silly
But you walk among a snake
When you live in sin city
Small town underground, you know that it’s a pitty
But you walk among a snake
When you live in sin city
Cities goin’ underground thinkin’ it’s a pitty
But you walk among a snake
When you live in sin city

Don’t get too close, I just might strike
Ain’t no one alive
That could live through my bite

Small town underground, thinkin’ it’s a pitty
But you walk among the snake
When you live in sin city
Got down, look around, couldn’t find daddy
But I walked among the snake
When I lived in sin city
That’s right, every night of the week

Baby’s in the nose down
And thinkin’ it’s a pitty
But you walk among the snake
When you live in sin city
Well we got down, looked around
Couldn’t find many
You walk among the snake
When you live in aim city

You took it from me
I gave it to you
Give it back
You took it from me
I gave it to you
Give it back

Baby’s in the nose down
And thinkin’ it’s a pitty
But you walk among the snake
When you live in sin city
Well we got down, looked around
Couldn’t find many
You walk among the snake
When you live in aim city

Sin city to me, sin city to you
Sin city to me, sin city to you

Baby’s in the nose down
And thinkin’ it’s a pitty
But you walk among the snake
When you live in sin city
Well we got down, looked around
Couldn’t find man
You walk among the snake
When you live in aim city
