Neil Strauss

There’s lots to tell you, so I’m going to make it quick. 

First off, news about Emergency is starting to leak everywhere
online, and I wanted you all to get a taste of it first. So I basically took the typeset pages I read for my last edit of the book and put together a few chapters for you, so you can get an idea of what the book I’ve been working on in secret for the last three years is all about. Note that because this is the advance version, there’s a design error in the “contract.” This glitch will not appear in the final book.  So think of this as the limited-edition rough draft. You can get your free chapters at the link below:

Next, I promised you all a book release party and signing. I’m really looking forward to this, because I just booked it today at my favorite new lounge in Los Angeles. It’s going to start at 7 p.m. sharp on perhaps the most appropriate day for a book like this: Friday the 13th of March. I’ll do a talk and reading, followed by an open Q&A and a signing.  (Book Soup will be there with copies of Emergency as well as hopefully the other books). And those who are there will be brought to a special, secret after-party nearby. Oh, and I’ll also be bringing a live wolf. Just to keep things exciting. Make sure you get there early, in case it gets full. And it’s a good spot to bring a friend, a date, a wing, a relative, or your own personal goon. Cost of entry: free, as a thank-you for supporting the book. Here are the details:

Friday, March 13th at 7:00 PM
H.Wood Club in the Hollywood and Highland Complex
1738 N. Orange Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90028

(It’s one of those “cool” clubs without a sign. Note that the entrance is on Orange, just north of Hollywood. Walk up the stairs outside, then immediately enter the club through the door on your right and proceed upstairs to the second floor.) For those of you who aren’t in Los Angeles, here’s the information for the rest of the book readings, signings, gladhanding, and Q&A sessions.

THE UNITED KINGDOM AND ALL POINTS BEYOND
Dates Coming Soon… Obviously, not all of you are living some place where you can make it to these events. So I have something special planned for you as well, as mentioned in an earlier email.  Things are so busy right now, but I will get back to you within the next week with details about a special event and experience for SOME of you (there will probably have to be a capacity to make this idea feasible). And I’ll also send you that video I promised in the last email.  It’ll make more sense in the context of the advance chapters you’re about to read anyway.

Racing The Clock,
Neil
