I am delighted to announce that the presale event for our newest books, Post-Punk Road Show and Rock ‘N’ Roll Zero: Singles & Rarities, begins on WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14th! This is your chance to acquire these limited, special editions and collector’s packages before the general public launch.

To create genuine value for this presale, those who get on board early have tangible benefits.

1. Advance access to the books. All presale orders will ship nearly one month before the public launch!
2. All print orders for Post-Punk Road Show will receive the ebook version for free ($12.99 value).
3. All print orders for Post-Punk Road Show will also receive the Secret Decoder Sheet, which reveals the 101 hidden references in the book, free of charge.
4. All print orders for Post-Punk Road Show and Rock ‘N’ Roll Zero: Singles & Rarities will receive a free, limited, custom bookmark.
5. With only 50 copies ever being produced, the Rock ‘N’ Roll Zero: Singles & Rarities collector’s package has garnered a tremendous amount of advanced interest, particularly with the inclusion of original, one-of-a-kind vinyl art by Babs Sinitini and art prints by Isabelle Michelle. I fully expect this item to sell out during the presale, so if it’s something you’re considering, it’s the best (and likely only) time to snag your copy.

“It’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas meets Almost Famous! If you like the music of the 80s and 90s, you will love this exciting story about triumph over adversity and personal redemption told in a humorous and empathetic way.”

Post-Punk Road Show is an epistolary novel comprising traditional prose, journal entries, conversations, emails, tour diaries, memories, photographs, and related communications. The fictional story is grounded in actual music-related events and offers a realistic portrayal of life as a rocker and a music journalist.

In addition, for the first time, the legendary bands Placebo, Skinny Puppy, Siouxsie, Human League, and Echo & the Bunnymen have been immortalized in fiction!

BUT, WAIT! THERE’S ANOTHER BOOK!

“David Bowie meets David Sedaris with a bit of Sid Vicious sprinkled on top in this kick-ass collection of rock stories housed in an actual album sleeve.”

In the vein of Chuck Klosterman’s Fargo Rock City and the classic film This Is Spinal Tap, comes an uproarious collection of five stories & essays from lifelong rocker and writer Jeffrey Phillip. Part memoir, part rant, part insider’s peek, this book captures the dizzying heights, epic lows, and sheer hilarity of life in rock ‘n’ roll. 

Whether it’s recounting the joining of a globally revered band, sharing the top 5 most glamorous aspects of rock stardom, exposing the savage truths of the music industry, or espousing advice to aspiring rockers, the experience is authentic, unflinching, and utterly hilarious. A must-have for all self-respecting fans of rock music.

The first step is to subscribe (see the form below), as we’ll send the official Presale Event Announcement only to subscribers and Fates On Fire insiders on April 14th!

The Presale Announcement will provide all the relevant information, along with a direct link to purchase your copy via the all-new Fates On Fire Store. This is the only way to get your hands on these limited editions, and I expect the small run for both books to sell out very quickly.

Thanks so much, and we’ll see you on April 14th!
