Strictly From Hunger! Update
Sorry, that it's been a long time since I've sent out any news or an update, but that's because I've been working hard on the manuscript of "Strictly From Hunger!: A Rock and Roll Memoir."
We've just passed the half way mark on the book with about 56,000 words of a book that seems like it's going to run about 93,000 words (averaging the number of words from the chapters already completed).
If it seems like the book is taking a like the book is taking a little longer than expected, it is. There were some extenuating circumstances and we had to ask for an extension of the deadline from the publisher, it is now October 1, 2017 (with a new release date of probably Jan 2018). But I'm hoping to have the book finished by August.
There are a couple new things to mention associated with the project. I've updated and expanded the Wikipedia entry for Hunger! (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunger_...) It may help in explaining what drew me to the project, as well as Hungers place in the history of the Sunset Strip, if not Rock and Roll. I've also created a Twitter account for the book and it has the Twitter handle of @strictlyhunger Please follow and get the latest news on the progress of the book as it happens.
Doors News: The Doors Examiner archive continues to grow, there are now over 180 articles now on the site and growing almost every day. This past weekend marked the fourth anniversary of the death of Ray Manzarek and you can read the tribute articles I wrote as The Doors Examiner (http://doorsexaminer.com).
Book Recommendation: Noted rock writer Rich Weidman has published another book in the FAQ series, This one is "Guns n' Roses FAQ". I just finished it and found it very interesting, and is stuffed with facts about Guns n' Roses. You can find it at Amazon.
Thank you all for your interest and support!
