I am primarily devoted to getting out the word for my new book, Final Exits: The Illustrated Encyclopedia of How We Die. That's right, I said die, so wait before you take a step back, or click the mouse to send me off cold and lonely into cyber darkness. The book is an eye-opening, irreverent and entertaining look at the truth behind kicking the bucket. There’s hundreds of ways we check out that were new to me, and each entry in this A-Z sourcebook is kind of like a sample of fascinating munchie factoids—I bet you can’t read just one. I am also writing another book for HarperCollins (very cool people) about the same subject that I hope will be equally out of the ordinary—I’m having a good time writing it. I also like to drink green tea now and eat other life-strengthening concoctions, however, I still indulge in the occasionally cigarette. I know what you’re going to say—but paradoxes are the things that make life interesting. No?

Valentine's Day Special

Free T-Shirts
Valentine’s Day Special

Hi Everyone,

Final Exits: The Illustrated Encyclopedia of How We Die has been out in the bookstores for three months--and thanks to all of you-- is now in its 4th printing. I was thrilled that the book was featured in Playboy, Entertainment Weekly, Chicago Sun Times and so many other national media outlets. I want to give some free T-shirts away with the cool Final Exits cover to show my appreciation. Check out www.finalexits.com to see the cover and for the radio shows that I’ll be on this month talking about the book.

I’m Glad I’m Not the Only One!

Like the weather and taxes, maybe we can’t do anything about dying, but at least some of us manage to shuffle off this mortal coil in unforgettable ways. I’ve received so many wonderful letters from readers. It showed me the fascination death holds for the living—and thank goodness, I’m not alone in my interest with the subject!

This is the latest from Horror master Peter Straub:
“This endlessly fascinating, often amusing, and always riveting book
is the perfect gift for all of your morbid, twisted, or at least
curious friends.”

Give something other than chocolate this Valentine’s Day.
http://www.amazon.com/Final-Exits-Il...

Valentine’s Day is Fun
Consider these true-life cases you can share you’re your friends:

• A woman knocked off her long time boyfriend when he gave her chocolates instead of a ring on Valentine’s Day...and other stories—the most married man & the inventor of condoms.
• Married, single or divorced and who lives longer?
• 25,000 American females are admitted to hospitals each year suffering from “pharmaceutical poisoning” after leaving their drinks unattended while out partying.
• 90% of all women choose to kill their spouse in the kitchen.
• There’s a reason why 15 percent of American women send themselves flowers on Valentine’s Day.
• 3 million dollars are spent on Aphrodisiacs—some work--some kill.

How to win a T-Shirt
Just send me an email that you want a chance to win one. And if you send me an email of a friend who might want to hear about the book, I’ll enter your name into the big cauldron twice.

Hey fellow-author,
If you are a self-respecting bookworm, then you could do a lot worse than read through extracts of my new book on www.bebo.com/JadedGoodie The 208-page publication can be ordered from Amazon, Blackwells or Waterstones and is due out at the beginning of June. If you're one of the grumpy minority who gets cross when receiving unsolicited mail, then I will not repeat this.
Best wishes
