If you do not know who Bruce Campball is then you are missing out on a whole lot of fun. This is his second book, but is not a sequel to If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor. This is an autobiographical novel based on a B actor's disastrous attempt to star in a big-budget Hollywood movie. What can I say about this novel? Well, let's have Bruce define it for you:
"You’ve already picked up the book, so you either:
A. Know who I am
B. Like the cool smoking jacket I’m wearing on the cover
C. Have just discovered that the bookstore restroom is out of toilet paper
Is this a relationship book? Well, if by “relationship book” you mean that the characters in it have relationships or are related to someone, then yes, absolutely. Will you learn how to pick up chicks? Good heavens, I can only hope so, though for best results in that department you should both read this book and be Brad Pitt.
Is it a sequel to my autobiography, If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor? Sadly, no, which made it much harder to write. According to my publisher, I haven't “done” enough since 2001 to warrant another memoir.
Is it an “autobiographical novel”? Yes. I'm the lead character in the story and I'm a real person and everything in the book actually happened, except for all the stuff that didn’t. And if the 72,444 words are too time-consuming, there are lots and lots of cool graphics.
Regards,
Bruce “Don't Call Me Ash” Campbell "
And as a bonus, here's a memento of catching up with Bruce a few years ago...
