Vicious Whispers with Mark Tullius
Arts:Books
Wednesday was the release of Try Not to Die: At Dethfest.
It's my 18th book, but means a lot because heavy metal has been such a huge part of my life.
One of the coolest parts about the book is that it includes Jose Mangin, a DJ from Sirius XM's Liquid Metal/Octane. He agreed to let us include him and as a thank you we've donated to his Headbang for Science charity and include a link for it at the back of the book.
The other cool thing is that we published this book at all. It was 9 years in the making with mental health struggles and life getting in the way. We persevered and are proud of what it's now turning into with Dethfest Confessions.
Despite all the excitement over the book, I went back to my old ways and had to deal with some negative emotions. Instead of caving to them, like I've done on other launches, I threw myself into jiu jitsu to get me refocused. Not only did I manage to get some marketing done but I'm also excited to be competing this Saturday at NAGA.
I narrate the first death scene from Try Not to Die: At Dethfest followed by the next chapter.
