Also, quite fine company. Excerpt? Word.
"Tanzer brilliantly birthed each persona, forced their words up off the page, and made each one come alive much like a puppeteer brings life to his marionettes. A quick, enticing collection, clocking in at just under 100 pages, that demonstrates a brand new side of Ben."
Quite a lot of love yo. So do hit it. Now. Thank you. Feels good right? We know.
And big thanks to the Lori Hettler for that. Well, that and for including I Am in such fine company. Drinks, yes, excerpt, cool?

Truth. Only six dollars and such. So please do hit that. It just might change your life.
So very much we do really. And so very appreciative we are to the Gabino Iglesias and Verbicide for the very kind words. Drinks brother, on us, for sure, somewhere, soon. Yes? Good. And excerpt? Cool.
"While humor helps make I Am a great read,
what truly makes it shine is that it combines hilarity with sadness and
delivers all of it using a frenetic prose that takes on a variety of
rhythms in order to adjust itself to the voice of every story."
Which means we get to talk Orphans, Lost In
Space, I AM, The 27th Mile, FOUR FATHERS, and KICKSTARTER among other
things. We also get to talk about a number of writers we quite love. And we
are very appreciative for all of it. Word.
So big thanks to the awesomely supportive David Atkinson for that. Drinks brother, on us, for sure, somewhere, soon. Excerpt? Cool.
"Celebrity (whether celebrities who make a career out of a persona, ordinary people who fate turns into a celebrity persona, or even a fictional creation that becomes just like a human celebrity) is an interesting phenomenon. They start out as (except for the fictional ones, of course) as individuals, but something of the persona put forth for public consumption takes on a life of it's own in the mass consciousness and breathes independent, though it is not a truly three-dimensional being. Tanzer does something truly interesting in this collection of persona/identity stories in that he takes that echo as a starting point to bring forth the cry of what is again a real being."
I AM. Artistically Declined Press. July 16th. Pre-order love.
Very much in fact. So thank you to the David S. Atkinson for that, and drinks on us, for sure, when next we meet. Now, how about some excerpt? Cool.
"Tanzer captures the character and the moment perfectly. Maybe the Corey
thing is a bit of an extra draw for me, being a child of the 80s and
all, but I think it's more than that. Tanzer captures what it must feel
like to live entirely within that media world than even a nobody like me
can understand what it must be like."
In fact, Lost Boy is at the Amazon. And free no less through Friday. It is also from a collection titled I AM that we are doing with the ADP in 2014. Yes, we know that's far away, so for now please do enjoy some Lost Boy and please do share some of that Lost Boy freeness with your friends, neighbors, family, lovers, co-workers, and strangers on the street. Cool? Word. Excerpt? Yes. Done.
"Dude, look at this mess, leaves all over the place and beer bottles
everywhere, a used condom. So fucked-up bro, and not cool, so not cool,
who treats a grave like this? It’s like a desecration or whatever.
Anyway, I will make sure someone starts taking care of this, soon,
promise."
