Awesome... thank you! Good timing. I'm about 70% done with the rough draft of Book two. It's going to satisfy all of us musicians in a special way. Also, be sure to check out the website: www.thecovenantbeneath.com. If you'd prefer to not have spoliers, wait until you're done reading...

Yeah man, I went from from having a pnenoemal week. Invited to be a guest speaker at UFO Twitterweek to talk about my book and experiences, book sales were moving up, and I was two months into a really good job. Or so i thought. Then poof, all gone. Now instead of being hyper focused on book...

Hey guys, it's been a little while since i've checked in. My book is doing really well with 4.8 out of 14 reviews far. Book two is in the writers room and it's going to be epic. The rock star who's mansion they all had the reunion in will become a main charater in the second book, and music...

Hey all, we’re working on the 2nd part of a refinish project. We started with natural finish and was going to make it a brown with black deep in the grain, but once we got the black on we liked it so we just finished it that way. But now, we have to do something about that fingerboard. We...

Happy Friday, Guys! Just a shameless promotional bump to capture some new eyes on the chat. Hope you all have a great holiday weekend. Find something good to read and support your TalkBass community author, who is actually going to take a break from working on the book's website to mix my...

What's up guys? I've been hard at work for the last week, building a website for the book. Still lots to do before it'll be ready to promote, but for those of you who bought the book, I thought it would be fun to share a visual for the end of the wild ride in Chapter 1.

Right on... thank you! Once you get past your percolation phase and find yourself wondering how to do something, I'm happy to help. Hope you enjoy it — and more importantly — find yourself wanting more! :bassist:

The guy I write and record music with — who I thank for his patience while I neglect our songwriting to finish this thing (now tirelessly with the website) — sent me this text last night: “Yo, I’m really digging the book so far. Nice job. I’m at Chapter 26 around the halfway point.” That one...

I can respect that — thanks for the well wishes!

Yes, and they now have me locked in with them as a self-publisher. I remember reading some fine print that says I have to stick with them — pretty smart of them, actually.

Fair comment honestly. I do use AI sometimes to help organize thoughts or clean up grammar because once I get rolling, I tend to write absolute walls of text. But the story, characters, mythology, and all the crazy ideas are completely mine. Trust me… ChatGPT did not invent: “a billionaire...

*** One quick note for anyone checking out the free Amazon sample: The opening chapters are intentionally grounded and character-driven. You’re meeting the guys as lifelong friends, musicians, troublemakers, and borderline knuckleheads before the story slowly starts pulling back the curtain on...

Thanks, Gary! Much appreciated. And Christopher Walken would be the perfect voice to deliver the crazy fun. Ever since the watch scene in Pulp Fiction - legendary story-teller. LOL ⌚:laugh:🤣

To my fellow bass players… Thank you for the encouragement, the messages, and for actually buying the book. Seriously… it means a lot. This whole story started as random ideas spinning around in my head and dumped into my iPhone Notes app. Stuff like: “Rocco (the rock star owner of the...

You guys who graciously purchased the book, remember this exact question, and enjoy the irony! LOL My brain is in a million places right now trying to build some momentum, get some Amazon reviews, etc. and it slipped past me yesterday. But that question, given a chapter in the book.... just...
