Steve is supposed to have a new book out soemetime this year..anyone know anything about it?

i loved doghouse roses....

I know it's a novel and I believe the story centres around a doctor who is haunted by the ghost of Hank Williams. I can't actually remember where I read that so it may well be incorrect...as far as I know it should be published this year.

...fantastic, a new Steve book. I can hardly wait. But I couldn't help but chuckle a little.... a doctor who is haunted by the ghost of Hank Williams?? sounds scary.

Somebody somewhere said "love is a prison" but no one really wants to be free....

the working title is "I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive," about Hank Williams, a doctor and heroin addict, who performs abortions, and San Antonio. The book has been six years in the making.

There's a hole in this mountain and it's dark and it's deep
And God only knows all the secrets it keeps
There's a chill in the air only miners can feel
There're ghosts in the tunnels that the company sealed

Thanks Barrowlands!  I knew that somewhere in the back recesses of my mind I had read the story of the book...but it was WAY back in fall of '07!  Anyway, good to have clarification.  

Poor dude!  Six years in the making...Fuck!  Sounds like a MA thesis!  haha!  Probably as painful too!  One day when I was talking to my colleague at work about my then current "writer's block" she said, "Writing is easy.  Just sit down at the computer and open a vein."  I found some sort of strange comfort in her comment!

Here's to Steve's creative writing energy!  Cheers!

A book should serve as the ax for the frozen sea within us ~ Franz Kafka (1883-1924)

Hey, Iris, Kafka's house is quite near my school.

Hey Viky!  That is really neat!  Have you been there?!  If so, tell us about it please!  I am brand new Kafka reader...but others of us are enthusiasts of his for sure.  Right now I am reading his book called, Amerika.  So far, so great!

I've never read anything by him.

And I've been to the house to a art exhibition. I think Kafka lived there but it looks a bit different know.

Srry, I have to go now.
