"Wonderfully honest." Lost in Space. Amazon. Wonderbar. And appreciations.

Lots of appreciations, and endlessly wonderbar. Excerpt? Word.

"Ben invites you into his personal life with these honest, hilarious and serious essays about Fatherhood."

"Tanzer goes straight for the meat." Lost in Space. Amazon love.

And much appreciated love at that. So big thanks to the Art Edwards, and drinks, many brother, on us, all post haste and such. Excerpt? Word.

"Ben Tanzer is exactly what I like in a male writer. He's not going to inundate you with his get-trashed glory days, or try to convince you how smart he is, or tell you about his past conquests. Life's too short, and that's too easy."

"More than Murakami." 99 Problems gets some Amazon love. And likes it. A lot.

Yo, so we don't know about all that. And not the like part. We do like it, a lot, that's been established. The whole Murakami thing though? Very cool, and much appreciated, but  best you be the judge. Cool? Excerpt? Word.

"Overall, it reads like one of those great runs where your legs feel light and your feet feel fleet—it’s quick, and it’s pleasant, and it leaves you wanting more."

"Tanzer captures the increasingly clinal boundary between humanity and technology." Orphans gets some Amazon love. And likes it. A lot.

Truth. Though we do wonder, can there be too much self-like? We hope not. Excerpt? Word.

"Tanzer captures the increasingly clinal boundary between humanity and technology, and highlights the tensions created as the digital seeps into more and more of our daily lives."

"Tanzer brings his unique voice to the science fiction genre and the results are great." Orphans gets some Amazon love. And likes it. A lot.

Truth. And big thanks to Giano Cromley for that. Drinks too. Many. Soon. Excerpt? Word.

"The future in Orphans is dark, so don't be fooled when I tell you this novel is also really funny. Ultimately, though, we see the cost exacted when people are put in positions where they'll do whatever it takes to make a better life for their families."

"An imaginative, entertaining, and beautiful read." Orphans gets Amazon'd. And likes it. A lot.

It does. We do. And we are most thankful to the Steve Mihalopolous for that. Excerpt? Cool.

"Ben Tanzer is among my favorite writers. His stories are witty, colorful and always heartfelt with a uniquely Tanzer style."

"It is Blade Runner directed by Terrence Malick." Orphans gets some Amazon love. And big thanks to old friend Ryan W. Bradley for that.

Awesomely big thanks. And love. Much. Excerpt? Cool.

"If you've read Ben Tanzer's work you will understand, perhaps more than you would otherwise, what a marvel this book is. It is very much a work of science fiction, but it is Ben Tanzer above all things. The way some bands become their own genre after decades of making music and evolving their sound, Tanzer is himself irregardless of the window dressings."

"Tanzer captures the character and the moment perfectly." Lost Boy gets some Amazon love. And likes it. A lot.

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."

New joint. Lost Boy. From the Artistically Declined Press.

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."

Hair Lit Vol. 1 Amazon madness.

For real. Here. Or here. And definitely here.

Freeness.

"It reads like a sitcom, and is filled with funny, catchy prose." Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine gets some Amazon love. And likes it. A lot.

Quite like it. And most appreciative that.

Compulsive. Compulsion. Both.

"Shocked and embarrassed" That, and "Great." You Can Make Him Like You gets Chicago Subtext'd. And likes it. A lot.

Much love to TBWCYL, Inc. favorite and overlord of all things Orange Alert Jason Behrends for the much appreciated review of You Can Make Him Like You he has posted to Chicago Subtext and Goodreads. Coffee on us for sure when next we meet and excerpt for everyone else. Also, and we are speaking to those of you who qualify as "everyone else," we have a request - if you are digging the You Can Make Him Like You, and we hope you are, please do consider posting a shout-out to Goodreads, Amazon and anywhere else shout-outs are sold, because that too will be much appreciated.

"Essentially, Tanzer is exposing the secret inner thoughts of a man as he tries to adopt, grow, move at a reasonable pace through life. At times you relate, and at others you are shocked and embarrassed. This is a honest look at the process every father goes through on some level. It shows the importance of friends, family, and even a good life soundtrack."
