WOW! That's brilliant. What's it about?

Anyway, hope it all goes great and you make loads off it.

And Garrett Cook huh?

It's about an alternate America where serial killers are the hottest celebrities and murder is legal in designated Safe Zones and the homicidal pharmacist who kills because he thinks monsters from another dimension are possessing women and is trying to shun fame. This book, the first in the series is about his relationship, some of the choices he's making and his crusade against the possibly unreal monsters.
Yup, Garrett Cook. Never been fond of it, really. One who prepares food in an attic. But, I've been assured that it's better than a pseudonym, so I'm keeping it.

I was wondering who your publisher is, I have a book of poems, I have been trying to get published for over 12 years, my manuscript is just sitting in the book case, collecting dust. If you can help that would be great. Congrats on the book, I will try to order one too!! Thanks.

Poetry's tough, not impossible but tough. There are very specific expectations of it, none of which I like, to be honest. It will hard going , but it's not impossible to find a publisher for poems. I'd say get yourself a Writer's Market and be prepared to lick envelopes until your tongue bleeds and you'll end up on top sooner or later if the work is right for somebody. It's not always about good or bad, it's about compatibility. Always remember that when querying anything. Crap shows up in print because somebody wants that kind of thing. Good work shows up in print because somebody wants it there, if you remember this and don't get discouraged too easily you could find somebody. I'm sitting on a book of poems myself and it hurts that it might never see print, but someday I'll do something about it.
