I’m sick, so this is the Best Ever Edition because it’s so mercifully short!
Last night I shook hands and had a chat with Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith (Jay and Silent Bob for those not in the cult). Each now have a signed copy of my book, Self-help for Stoners. They couldn’t have been more gracious, interested, warm or friendly. It was a big moment for me, especially when Kevin recognized the book and said, “Hey! I know you!”
Each got a personalized recommendation for stories they might particularly like from Self-help and it was a genuine pleasure all around. We laughed a lot. As always, of course, Kevin spoke inspired and inspiring words about writing and the creative process.
I’m a bit emotional today. (Scratch that. I’m very emotional today.) It was a milestone in the evolution, not just of the book, but for me taking the leap to writing full-time. It was just over a year ago that I decided I needed to “stop chasing the puck” and quit my job of twenty years. (I won’t rehash that story here, but you can always watch the video on the Inspiration page.) Things went full circle last night. And now? Onward. Three novels are coming out this year with my name on them. Hoo-ha!
I must make this writing thing work.
Bonus? As I walked up onstage, Jay sang Paperback Writer. Yes!
Due to scary and ugly circumstances that shall be revealed, Chazz goes long, raw, uncut, unedited and au natural in this podcast that goes off the rails and maybe off a cliff. No music. Just me speaking directly into your head. Move over brain. This trip will get uncomfortable.Â
In this episode of the Self-help for Stoners podcast, I talk about: going to see director Kevin Smith, my secret superhero origins and we confront the existential abyss together and giggle nervously. I read three excerpts from the book: two short self-help pieces and one long story called Context in which we…uh…well, it’s surprise.
You can listen here, of course, or on iTunes or on Stitcher. To enter a draw for a $100 cash card, download the Stitcher app from your app store and enter the promo code SELFHELPSTONERS. (Yeah, I know. They couldn’t give me a longer promo code without switching to Mandarin.) Stitcher’s great for streaming, though, because it takes up no room on your phone and you don’t have to go to the bother of hooking up to your computer with a cable like you’re Amish or something.
In this episode of Self-help for Stoners, The Mind Bend Edition, I start right away with a little story from my book Self-help for Stoners. I hit you with my fave tweets, rake the GOP over the cliched coals and hit you with some money-wasting, Canuck-style. You also get a preview of my ad that will soon run on Smodcast Internet Radio. If you like the show, please like us on Stitcher or leave a kind review on iTunes! Thanks!

Today I published another ebook: a short story called Vengeance is #1.Â
In this story, we meet Georgie, an angry girl with a funny, mean streak. This seventeen-year-old wants to be normal, if only she could figure out what Normal is and how to get there. After enduring a string of therapists, she encounters Dr. Circe Papua. Things are looking up for Georgie until Dr. Papua fires her as a patient. Now Georgie is looking for redemption and an apology. Failing that, she’ll settle for vengeance.
Finally, you get a fun, erotic romp…and the apology you deserve for the previous episode. I think I’m getting better, and by that I mean I’m almost over that terrible cold and slightly better on the mic. I promise to get more microphone practice over the holidays by singing in front of the mirror with a hairbrush.
