Ernie & Bert & Gay Marriage, Glorious World Cup Book, Chippendale’s Movies & Twitter

A new day has dawned.  Inspired by interviewing with some of the shining lights of the book world, from new media guru Seth Godin, to CEO of Harlequin Books Donna Hayes, to Margaret Atwood (who I met on twitter!), I decided to upgrade into the new decade.  I’m in the process of upgrading my website, and I now putting together a proper newsletter which hopefully will come out once a month.  If you don’t want to get it, just let me know.

I think this is going to be a very interesting event.  They’re going to show midnight cowboy I believe.  in addition to sex worker literati we’re also going to do a pitchapalooza: where authors get to pitch their book ideas.  In Bruce Springsteen’s old stomping ground.

The BEST book I’ve read
this year is David Henry Sterry’s Master of Ceremonies. Sterry was the Master
of Ceremonies of Chippendale’s (the male strip club) in the mid ’80s. This is
really a tribute to NYC in the cash-happy ’80s and a story of what happens when
there’s too much ex…cess (sound familiar?!). It’s beautifully written and a
complete page-turner. Great for the beach! Plus some free content for your viewing pleasure, hopefully
entice you to look at the book.

My name is David Henry Sterry, and I am the best-selling author of 12 books, from memoir, to young adult, to how-to, to an anthology that wound up on the cover of the Sunday New York Times book review. I am looking for an intern. In exchange for helping you with your writing and/or your publishing career, I need help with computer and organizing issues. I am also the author of “Putting Your Passion Into Print” (Workman, 2005) with my literary agent wife. It’s based on a course we talked at Stanford University. We have been commissioned by our publisher to do an updated edition of the book, and you would be working closely with us and the publisher, Workman, which is one of the great independent publishers in America. We have helped dozens and dozens of unpublished writers become paid authors (list available upon request).

The cover of the Sunday New York Times book section will feature my new Soft Skull anthology, Hos, Hookers, Call Girls & Rent Boys: Professionals Writing on Life, Love, Money & Sex, written with my good friend RJ Martin.  It just passed “The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People” on Amazon.  I’m thinking maybe a follow-up might be: “The 7 Habits of Highly Successful Hos”.

“An eye-opening, astonishing, honest and funny collection from those who really have lived on the edge in a parallel universe… Unpretentious and riveting, their tales are also graphic, politically incorrect and mostly unquotable in this newspaper.” Toni Brantley, NY Times

The miracle is manifest.  The anthology has hit the streets.  Half a decade in the making, this love’s labor, the product of so much blood, sweat, tears and other assorted body fluids, has finally traveled down the birth canal, and has been delivered by an able-bodied team of midwives, editors, dulas, copy editors, birth coaches, art directors and sweaty worried nerve-wracked family and relatives.  Below please find information about the website and events.  Many thanks to all involved.  We are very proud of this book.

Hear that faint distant humming sound, like a billion buzzing bees? That’s the sound of millions of soccer fanatics ratcheting their vuvuzela noisemakers as they gear up for what is predicted to be biggest sporting event on the planet: World Cup 2010 in South Africa. For the uninitiated, it’s like the Stanley Cup, NBA championship, Super Bowl, US Opens (golf and tennis) and the World Series all rolled into one. World Series? What world is that? No, in soccer, World Cup means everyone in the whole wide world has a chance to win. And because it’s the first time the tournament has been held on the African continent, this World Cup promises to be a Nelson Mandela, Euro-samba oriental blowout of global proportion.

Derek Zoolander: “I Hate British Singing Sensation Susan Boyle!”

British singing sensation Susan Boyle, an unemployed cat owner, has become, as a result of a mere five minutes of singing, an inspiration to millions of people all over the globe, a symbol that anyone with true, genuine talent can have their lifelong dream come true if they just keep trying. It seems like everyone has fallen in love with Susan Boyle, that plucky, spunky, I-won’t-change-for-anybody girl-next-door with a big heart and an even bigger voice. Everyone except a man who was once America’s most famous supermodel. Derek Zoolander.

To the original Huffington Post article by David Henry Sterry

Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman Loera reported head of the Sinaloa cartel in Mexico, ranked 701st on Forbes’ yearly report of the wealthiest men alive, and worth an estimated $1 billion, today officially thanked United States politicians for making sure that drugs remain illegal. According to one of his closest confidants, he said, “I couldn’t have gotten so stinking rich without George Bush, George Bush Jr., Ronald Reagan, even El Presidente Obama, none of them have the cajones to stand up to all the big money that wants to keep this stuff illegal. From the bottom of my heart, I want to say, Gracias amigos, I owe my whole empire to you.”
