Anybody Bring Their Crayons?

I work on a novel for a year, only to get outsold by a motivational coloring book?

That’s how the audiobook version of You Look Good For Your Age begins.

As I’ve been speaking and testing the material, I’ve found something surprising: it changes. It evolves. Speaking it out loud is a completely different experience than writing it down. Sometimes, as I’m talking through the material, I think of a new joke on the spot. Other times, the inspiration hits in the middle of the night, and I’ll get up and head straight to my computer.

Here’s the thing: if I don’t write it down right away, I’ll forget it by morning. And sometimes, what seemed hilarious at 2 a.m. doesn’t seem so great in the cold light of day. Those bits get deleted.

Does this sound like a lot of compulsive work? Maybe. But does it matter?

To me, it absolutely does. This is what I do, and I love it. Writing, speaking, performing—it’s fun, but I also take it seriously. I want to bring my best to every single audience, whether they’re reading my books, listening to the eventual audiobook, or hearing me live.

The audiobook version of You Look Good For Your Age will be out eventually. Don’t worry—I’ll give you plenty of warning when it’s ready!

In the meantime, if you’re looking for a speaker for your group, event, or organization, let me know. I promise I’ll make it worth your while. I don’t charge for showing up, but I do charge people to get me to leave. (Just kidding! I do, however, sell copies of my books.)
​
Seriously, though—take a look around my website. My books make great gifts. Whether it’s a stocking stuffer or a pick-me-up, they’re guaranteed to entertain... and feel free to color them in if you want to!
