BURNING SHORE PRESS
Great new CA-based publishing house producing some really exciting books, including 2 volumes of Dan Fante's plays, the excellent HEAPING STONES by Robert Woodward and SONGS FROM THE SHOOTING GALLERY a collection of my poetry, out later this year

CONTEMPOR
ARY PRESS
Brooklyn based indie press, publishing future cult classics since 2003.   The home of the US and Canadian edition of DIGGING THE VEIN

TOMMY TRANTINO
Tommy's book "Lock The Lock" came out in '74 while he was sitting on death row awaiting execution for his involvement with the murder of two cops in New Jersey.  It is currently out of print but in my opinion a true work of art, and one of my all time favourite books.  Henry Miller, Allen Ginsberg, John Lennon and a bunch of other big writers and artists agreed.  The death penalty was outlawed, and Tommy's life was spared.  Visit his site, and change your life for the better.

BLACK POPPY MAGAZINE
This is a really fantastic UK based magazine and website aimed at the community of people using hard drugs.   It's run by really good friends of mine in London, including Erin O'Mara one of the most brillliant and dedicated activists for the rights of drug users it has ever been my privelledge to meet.   Information resources like this magazine kept me alive and healthy when I was using heroin.   Please pay them a visit and support drug users rights.

DESTINATION OUT!
This is a brilliant website dedicated to one of my obsessions, free jazz.  You can listen to mp3's of rare, out of print and completely insane free jazz, and read well researched and thoughtful articles on each album here...

MIKE SEGRETTO
Mike is a fellow Contemporary Press author:   his books are insane, post-modern sex and violence fests.   He's "Blood Feast" director Hewschell Gordon Lewis's favourite author.   Serial killing lesbian strippers, necrophillia and gratuatous references to The Who abound.

WRECKING BALL PRESS
"Strictly no flowers, just blunt hammered-home words"   The UK publishers of DIGGING THE VEIN


SOCIAL DISEASE
Social Disease is the brainchild of one of my favourite new authors, Heidi James.   Their first release will be a short story collection of mine, entitled SEIZURE WET DREAMS.   They also have books coming up by HP Tinker and a colletion of work celebrating The Off-Beat Generation.

DENNIS COOPER
The books of Dennis Cooper are some of the best contemporary novels out there.  His blog, which can be found at this link, is a plethora of infomation and discussion on the arts, sex, death, music and whatever else is on Mr. Cooper's mind at the moment.  It's rare that the public gets to interact with an author in the way that Dennis allows us on his blog, and my mind is constantly blown that he takes so much time crafting the blog, answers all of the questions thrown at him daily, and still manages to produce major works of avante-garde American writing.
