Thanks for spreading the word! 

More book praise

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

Just wanted to draw attention to another piece of fan mail about Dungeon of Death...

Hello Scott
I am not expecting you to reply back to this as I understand how busy you must be, but I just wanted to praise you on your latest book, Chris Benoit Dungeon of Death.
Ive been a wrestling fan since 2001 and Ive never really thought too much about what goes on behind the scenes or what goes on in the wrestlers lives behind the curtain.
So having never read a book for entertainment purposes in my life, I decided to get into reading and what better subject than Pro Wrestling. Having heard stories from wrestlers and seeing the Rourke movie, The Wrestler, I sort of had a rough idea of how these guys live. Your book was so addicting. Seriously. I am not a fast reader but it was so good that I finished it within a day of starting.
I was amazed to read about the shocking story of the Von Erichs and I was saddened to read about Owen and Bret Hart. I don't know what to think about the whole Benoit situation. But at least now I have some good facts to go by.
I have learnt a great deal from your words and I will be sure to check out your other books as quick as I can.

 

The scary thing with The Wrestler is that it seems brutally honest and open from the perspective of non-fans, but it's actually pretty toned down compared to what really goes on. 

Book promotion!

It's been a packed few weeks for book interviews!

This was a pretty fun phone interview, actually, as Alex and I are pretty close in age and taste in wrestling.

In Your Head Online radio:

This is an hour-long segment with me taking questions from listeners and discussing a variety of topics while I was fighting a cold and trying to keep from losing my voice.  Still, another fun one. 

I'm doing another radio show next week as well, so I'll keep everyone updated.

Duelling book plugs

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

Hi, Scott!

Here's a link to my review of "Dungeon of Death:"

www.associatedcontent.com/article/1249534/wwe_chris_benoit_book_review_dungeon.html
I was hoping I could plug my own book, "This Side of the Mic." It's the story of how I became a pro wrestling announcer 15 years ago. It's full of stories from the Pittsburgh and Cleveland indies, as well as when I announced during the early years of Ring of Honor.

If your readers would like to purchase an autographed copy, they can e-mail me at gormanwriter@yahoo.com. I'll give them a discount if they say they heard of the book from Scott Keith. I sent you one, too, so I hope you enjoy it. Thanks!

 

Good luck with the book, and thanks for the review!
