Shout out for my man Shawn Decker - BUY HIS BOOK.

[xiane]

So my friend, the amazingly funny and talented Shawn Decker, has written a book. Today that book got a review in USA Today.

My Pet Virus: The True Story of a Rebel Without a Cure
By Shawn Decker
Tarcher/Penguin, 238 pp., $9.95
Paperback original
Shawn Decker, 31, a hemophiliac who grew up in rural Virginia, was diagnosed HIV-positive at age 11 because of tainted blood products. His mom had to fight to have him attend public school.Eventually, he became a columnist for Poz magazine. Today he and his HIV-negative wife hold safe-sex seminars. This quick synopsis does not begin to convey My Pet Virus'uninhibited, laugh-out-loud humor. A rural Virginian heterosexual who often is most comfortable with gay HIV-positive men, Decker has a real gift for blue-collar humor: crude and rude but big-hearted and unbiased. By the way, he is a "positoid" while you most likely are a"negatoid."

I guarantee that this review doesn't even cover how good the book will be. He's a remarkable person and I'm looking forward to reading my copy. You can order yours from Amazon.com or check him out at one of his appearances - check his website for more details. Tell him I sent you! ;)

Please do! I really hope a lot of people pick this book up - for ten bucks, it is quite the deal, and his message is a great one. Plus, Shawn Decker! He's the man! :D

I can't wait for his book to come out! I've told all my friends that they have to buy it or a pack of rabid wolverines will storm their houses and eat their innards while they watch in horror.

That, or squirrels will harvest their eyeballs for the Winter. Either or.
