My website is www.PaperbackRocker.com. You can find the podcast
archives there. Find my books on Amazon by searching my name, Matt
Syverson. Follow me on Twitter @PaperbackRocker. Email me at
bowiefan1970@live.com. Thanks for listening! The show notes are as
follows: I received the proof copy of my new book, "Blue Whiskey",
and it looks beautiful. It's a hardback printed by Lightning
Source. I start off with a tip about working with your cover
designer. Long story short, the tip is that you should ask your
designer what stock photo source he or she prefers. Then YOU can go
there and find any images you would like used for the cover. Since
the designer probably hasn't read your book, they probably can't
summon the same mental images that you can. I did this and it
worked wonderfully. I've been on a writing hiatus after writing
every night for four years. I needed a breather to recharge the
batteries and relax a little bit. I'm basking in the glow of
completion. I got to watch the Super Bowl at home, even though I
don't have cable. I talk a little bit about cutting the cable and
dealing with the cable company, who seems to think I have cable
still when I don't. I want to give them the ultimate insult of all
time, as the Mayor of London recently did to those who would
challenge him, but I'm too nice. The Super Bowl reminded me of some
people I supposedly look like, but you'll have to listen to see
who. Next, I talk about hearing the same obscure musical artist
three times in one day on the radio. You'll have to listen to see
who that was, too. (Sorry!) Next, I talk about three movies about
writers. The first is, "Where the Buffalo Roam", which starred Bill
Murray and is about Hunter S. Thompson. It was a reworking of "Fear
and Loathing in Las Vegas" with new settings. Instead of the Mint
500, he was going to the Super Bowl. The whole movie was non-stop
insanity, and it got kind of old after a while. I watched the
"Salinger" documentary that came out in 2012. The guy was
reclusive, as we all know, but he was also a borderline pedophile.
He had relationships with a series of teenage girls. He also liked
to eat something interesting on his popcorn. Next, I talk about
another documentary, this time about Bukowski. Alcohol plays a big
part in Bukowski's work and his life. He was paranoid about losing
his postal job and had anxiety about that, until a man offered him
an amount of money every month to be a writer. There's a new book
coming out about alcoholic writers, and I give my thoughts on
whether artists can create good work sober. I also talk a little
about Phillip Seymour Hoffman, addiction, and recovery.
