As reported in this week's Gossip Wolf column, "Joan of Arc front dude Tim Kinsella has a deal with local indie press Featherproof Books to release his debut novel, The Karaoke Singer's Guide to Self-Defense, in September."

It's true! Great work, Gossip Wolf.

Featherproof Books offers a free downloadable minibook of an excerpt from the novel. (Some assembly required.)

Featherproof also informs that Kinsella will be one of the readers at the Quickies! series at the Inner Town Pub on June 14.
