What you’re reading right now is known as the “flap copy.” This is where the 72,444 words of my latest book are cooked down to fit this space. But how does one do that? Do you reveal pivotal plot points like the one at the end of the book where the little girl on crutches points an accusing finger and shouts, “The killer is Mr. Potter”?
I have too much respect for you as an attention-deficient consumer to attempt such an obvious ruse. But let’s not play games here. You picked up the book already, so you either:
A. Know who I am
B. Liked the cool smoking jacket I’m wearing on the cover
C. Have just discovered that the bookstore restroom is out of toilet paper
Is it a sequel to my autobiography If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor? Sadly, no, which made it much harder to write. According to my publisher, I haven't “done” enough since 2001 to warrant another memoir.
Is it an “autobiographical novel”? Yes. I’m the lead character in the story, and I’m a real person, and everything in the book actually happened, except for the stuff that didn’t.
The action revolves around my preparations for a pivotal role in the A-list relationship film Let’s Make Love! But my Homeric attempt to break through the glass ceiling of B-grade genre fare is hampered by a vengeful studio executive and a production that becomes infected by something called the “B movie virus,” symptoms of which include excessive use of cheesy special effects, slapstick, and projectile vomiting.
From a violent fistfight with a Buddhist to a life-altering stint in federal prison, this novel has it all. And if the 72,444 words are too time-consuming, there are lots and lots of cool graphics.
Regards,
Bruce “Don’t Call Me Ash” Campbell
Praise for

Make Love is a Bruce Campbell novel, starring Bruce Campbell, written for Bruce Campbell fans for whom Bruce Campbell can do no wrong. They’ll no doubt find Campbell’s latest endeavor nothing short of---to quote one of his most famous characters---groovy.”

The Onion “One
of the most delightfully deranged experiences you’ll have reading this year. Hail to the king, baby.”

"Make Love the Bruce Cambell Way" 2009-06-21
By T. J. Benham (Enid, OK USA)
This book is fantastic. Not only is it a good read for fans of BC but for anyone who has ever had an interest in the film making industry. I started reading and didn't put the book down 'til the last page.

"It's OK but not as good as his first book." 2009-04-22
By toothwarriorprincess
I read Bruce Campbell's first book and it was an interesting and very funny read. So I knew he had a second book out and thought that would be interesting too. It was just about his experiences with one movie (which I admit in some places it was quite hilarious)but it was difficult to ascertain what was fact or fiction. So in my mind it made it not as funny because if it didn't really happen then.... it just wasn't funny. So I guess if this was based more on fact I think I would like it better. Oh well I was compelled to read it and the deed is done.
"Very funny, quick read" 2009-02-22
By euonymous (Norwell, MA USA)
This is very funny stuff. I intend to read "Chins" next, but stumbled upon this book first. The story is so over the top that it must be fiction, but how much exactly one never knows. How many people run into Colin Powell three times in one book? The dinner with Liz Taylor was charming, if somewhat stretching credibility. Overall the story, the approach, the wonderful graphics tossed in, make a great package. The internal design of the book was the oddest thing about it in that the margins were very small and the font was all sans serif. Who does that? Still, as distracting as that was, everything else was quite delightful. It's a very quick read. You'll enjoy it. If you got this far... hey, who reads 70+ reviews of a light comedy anyway?
