Book Signing Schedule

Just because there isn't a better alternative, I'm going to update any book signings I schedule using this post. As soon as I confirm a new signing, I'll update this post (and put stuff on Twitter and Facebook too), so check back here regularly if you don't want to miss out on signings. As of right now (look at the date on this post to see what "right now" means), here are the signings I have lined up:

Monday April 16 @ 7 pm - Ohio State University

Barnes & Noble - The Ohio State University Bookstore
1598 N. High Street
Columbus, OH 43201

Wednesday April 18 @ 1 pm - Indiana University

Indiana University Bloomington Bookstore

Wednesday April 25 @ 2 pm - Miami (OH) University

Miami University Bookstore

Wednesday July 11 @ 7 pm - Thurber House: 2012 New Voices Literary Picnic Series (Columbus, Ohio)

They've asked me to take an hour to speak about my book, read an excerpt, and/or have a Q&A session before doing the signing. This seems like a somewhat prestigious event for people in the literary world, which is why I'm crossing my fingers that the Trillion Man March will show up in droves and laugh along with me as I read dick jokes from my book in front of a bunch of people who smoke pipes and wear monocles and tweed jackets with elbow patches.

The Thurber House


We're still working on setting up signings in the near future at the University of Illinois and Ohio University, and the cities of Dayton, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Akron, and Toledo. And when the paperback comes out in the fall/early winter, I'll try to get to Penn State University, the University of Wisconsin, the University of Minnesota, and the University of Iowa, as well as the cities of Indianapolis, Columbus, Charlotte, Nashville, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Chicago, New York, and possibly even a few others.


One last thing: For those of you reading this in East Lansing or West Lafayette, I regret to inform you that Michigan State and Purdue both declined to host me for a signing, probably because they want their female students focusing on their studies instead of trying to grip my tip like they no doubt would've done. So if you want me to come to your school for a signing, I suggest you smack some sense into the people who run your university bookstores. Otherwise you and your second-rate schools can suck a wet one.

“Don’t Put Me In, Coach” Is Now Available

I’m sure most of you reading this are aware, but my book “Don’t Put Me In, Coach” was released on Tuesday.

book cover

Remember: Don’t judge a book by its cover, unless you think the cover is awesome.

This, of course, is my way of saying that if you haven’t already bought it, you’re dead to me and I hope you can sleep at night knowing that because of your selfishness I won’t be able to afford the shark jet-ski/submarine thing that I should’ve had years ago. If you haven’t bought it yet, the good news is that you can absolve your sin by going here, picking your favorite bookseller, and telling them that you want to help make my dream come true. If you’re on the fence about pulling the trigger and spending the equivalent of a movie ticket and a large popcorn on a book that will thoroughly entertain you during at least 5 poops and you’ll have for the rest of your life, I encourage you to go here and read an excerpt from the book to help make your decision. Also, keep in mind that 100% of the proceeds from the book sales will go to children in need, and by that I mean that 100% of the proceeds will go to my inner child in need of that badass shark watercraft. So yeah, don’t be a dick – buy the book.

One last thing: Many of you have asked me whether or not I’ll be doing book signings around the country. The answer to that is yes, but as of right now I don’t really have anything set in stone other than a signing on March 17th at 3 pm at the Barnes & Noble on Ohio State’s campus. Once I figure out when and where I’ll be holding other signings, I’ll relay the information via Twitter and Facebook, as well as continue to update a schedule on this blog, so keep on the lookout if getting your book signed by me and/or getting a picture with me giving you the hoverhand is something you’re interested in.
