It’s been a while since I posted anything about my Alice in Chains biography. Here’s something to start off 2015:
The Book Is DONE: I’m reviewing a hard copy of the manuscript (pictured above) for final edits and changes. Once that’s finished, that will be the final version that goes to the presses for mass production and publication.
Mark Your Calendars: The other bit of news is the book is now available for pre-order on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, with a scheduled release date of August 4, 2015.
More updates to come in the weeks and months ahead… I look forward to getting the book out there and for people to have the opportunity to read it. Best wishes to all of you for 2015…

Can’t wait!
This is big… Thank you, thank you so much for doing this.
So far there are 4 AIC books out there & I can’t think of a book that is worse than those- so the fans have been burned before…
I will not pre-order I’ll wait for the reviews, because unfortunately for the author everyone thinks they can write a book on AIC & many have judged it guilty before the trial.
Hi Terri – I can’t get into specifics of what is or is not in my book right now. All I ask is that you read it with an open mind.
David: As a huge fan of AIC, I am so happy that an honest book is on it’s way that will hopefully purge my mind from of the awful Rubio book that I unfortunately bought and read. It was painful! I have pre-ordered your book and consider it my August birthday present to myself!
Thanks for the kind words… I look forward to everyone having a chance to read it!
David,
Thank you in advance for what appears to be true journalism, for the people, done right. True fans of Layne are passionate, and seek comfort in learning everything we can of him. It will be a welcome respite, I’m sure. Thank you. My girl and I can’t wait to enjoy your book!

I will ask the most obvious question – has your manuscript been read (fact checked) by all parties concerned i.e. Kinney, Cantrell, Lane’s family?
Thank you
They haven’t read it yet. They will receive advance copies as soon as I get them.
I’ve already put it on Amazon pre-order. Can’t wait to ready it. Thank you!
Thanks for ordering it… I look forward to you and everyone else getting a chance to read it!
David, I have kept up with your updates on everything from Rubio/Brandon’s phoniness to Liz’s response and your bio updates. I’ve gotta say, dude, DAMN, you are thorough! Ever since I was in middle school, all I wanted was a book covering AiC, Layne, and Mike. Everyone else had their bio, why not these guys? I can say with all certainty that I can’t wait to put coin in your pocket for a copy! You’ve honestly earned it. Will copies be made available in mainstream retailers, or primarily online?
Yes, I’m aware reading this back sounds like I’m kissing some serious ass. I don’t even care; too stoked.
