And a cordial howyadoin to one and all.
Longtime Lexxian, occasional lurking around these h'yah parts. Some of you might know me from Lexxverse.com or--if you're a card carrying member of the old guard--the old Sci-Fi bboard.
Apologies for the intrusion and paucity of BD-related content (Brian, you ROCK and will always be the One True King Of New-Found-Land in my eyes!), but I was hoping y'all might indulge me for just a tick while I plug my recently published debut novel:
www.amazon.com/Chad-Savage-Billy-Duncan/dp/0983905037/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1331603444&sr=1-1

It's called Chad Savage, and could best be described as a dry humored (and occasionally screwball) personal narrative of a slightly neurotic young professional wrestler. In fact, why don't I let the press release from my publisher do the talking:
STEP INTO THE SAVAGE PIT…IF YOU DARE!
We’ve all met him before. He goes by many names—the blabbermouth, the story-topper, the loveably loquacious lout—but the template remains the same: a moderately mannered million-mile-an-hour motormouth who seems hellbent on regaling you with his life story. You certainly didn’t ask to hear it. In fact, you’re not even altogether sure who the heck this guy is or why he’s talking to you in the first place. But it’s too late to wonder about that, because he’s already holding court and shows no signs of running out of breath any time soon.
You scramble for a reasonable excuse to flee. You feign checking a non-existent watch and mutter something about needing to see a man about a horse. You implore the gods to please make your phone ring. Nothin’ doin’.
“Fine,” you tell yourself, “I’ll give him five minutes, then I’m out of here.”
All at once something unexpected happens. You find yourself nodding intently, chuckling in disbelief, and finally, laughing until your sides are fit to burst. Then those three magic words—“What happened next?”—pass through your lips. Translation: “I’m not going anywhere. I gotta hear the rest of this!”
Billy Duncan would like to introduce you to one such charming chatterbox.
Meet Chad Savage (not his real name, but the one he prefers), a muscle-bound walking contradiction. Lively…but hopelessly introspective, meek…with delusions of hotheaded grandeur, happy-go-lucky on the outside…a hurricane of neuroses on the inside! Brimming with ambition but seemingly bereft of direction, he seeks a reprieve from the fog of post-adolescent malaise in the larger-than-life world of professional wrestling. Hilarity, heartache, and head trauma ensue!
The debut novel from a “self-admitted cryptid,” Chad Savage (ISBN: 978-0-9839050-3-5) is a two-pronged character study: an inside look at an oft-beloved, oft-reviled, always outlandish pop-culture phenomenon; and the personal narrative of an angst-ridden young man perpetually at odds with the specter of self-doubt that plagues us all in our weaker moments. It chronicles five outrageous years in the life and career of the titular tough guy, from his five grueling months of training to an utterly outlandish—even by pro wrestling standards!—championship title match.
Books may be purchased at chadsavagebook.com, barringerpublishing.com, amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com. Ebook available at amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com.
That said, I'd like to invite everyone in the greater Lexxian community to read and hopefully fall in love with my first officially published bit of mental runoff. You don't need to be a wrestling fan to enjoy it. Just someone who enjoys a quirky story and a whole mess of cheap laughs! In other words, a Lexxian!
Thanks a bajillion, for putting up with my diatribe!
Cheery bye!
