I’m home in Charlottesville after a killer three week long tour with Bella Morte. I sold a ton of copies of “The Sticks” while I was out, and had the pleasure of meeting fans who’d already read it when I reached their cities. I’m happy as hell that reactions to the book have been overwhelmingly positive. It’s one thing to have someone trash a CD I’m on… at least in that arena I have four other guys to share in my misery!

I’m working on a zombie novel right now, and I’m about a quarter of the way to done. It’ll be a while before that one sees the light of day since my second novel has already been completed and will hit shelves first… sorry zombie lovers! Patience is virtue and all that crap. I’ve got plans to start posting excerpts here, and maybe a few free short stories.

In other news, Bella Morte just wrapped up recording a track called “Flatlined” for an upcoming Metropolis Records compilation that will be sold exclusively at Hot Topic stores. More on that soon enough!

Good news folks, The Sticks will be back in stock for tonight’s show in Raleigh, NC. Given they don’t sell out again I should have copies in Springfield, VA on Friday and for the homecoming show in Charlottesville, VA on Saturday.

There are three more shows left for me on this spring tour, and then I’ll be back home working on a new Bella Morte album and a third novel. (The 2nd won’t be released for a while, I’m just staying ahead.) Tony and I are also planning on recording a few acoustic versions of Bella Morte songs after getting so many requests for CDs on this tour.

I’ll be posting pictures I took while out on the road, so stay tuned! Thanks to everyone who made it out to the shows. See you all again soon.

Killer news… The Sticks was ranked #1 in pre-sales and#2 in digital downloads at Horror Mall for April! Thanks to everyone who snagged a copy and spread the word about the book!

I brought quite a few copies with me on tour (I’m out with Bella Morte right now) and tonight I realized I’ve only got 5 copies left with me… but more are on the way, so hopefully I won’t run out before the tour is over. If I do, the book’s now available through Amazon.com, so you can get it there.

Thanks again for all the support everyone! See you at the shows! ~Andy

I had copies of The Sticks shipped to me in NYC yesterday, so given I don’t sell out I’ll have them for sale at the upcoming Bella Morte shows for $15. Delirium did a great job and the books are beautiful! See you at the shows everyone! Frak yeah! ~Andy
