Download the "Waiting for Gonzo" Soundtrack — for FREE!


To celebrate the publication of Waiting for Gonzo in the United States and Canada, I'm posting a FREE download link for the soundtrack album that goes with the book.

"What's that?" you say. "A book with a soundtrack? Did I miss something?" 

The following video may help to explain …



So … now you can read the book AND hear the music playing in Oz's world as he makes his way through the story.

Ten original songs by some of Oz's favourite bands, including Dead Frank's Supersonic Milkfloat, Cyclops Dog, Cigarette UFO and Prayer for Halo—yours to download for FREE. Includes printable CD artwork with full lyrics booklet. 

DOWNLOAD HERE Did I mention it was FREE?

By the way, I'll be posting a couple more Waiting for Gonzo extras next week, so watch this space …



Waiting for Gonzo, is available now in the US and Canada, published by Flux.
A UK edition (published by Oxford University Press) and audiobook are also available. To read the story in Italian or Polish, please click on the links for San Paolo, Italy and YA! Poland. A German edition will be coming out in November.

"Waiting for Gonzo" Out Now in the United States and Canada!

Waiting for Gonzo hits the shelves in book stores all over the United States and Canada today! 




For a quick introduction to the story (and a bit about me) here's a video by some strange looking bloke with a moustache! (It was made when the book first came out in the UK so don't be confused by the yellow cover!)




To celebrate publication, I'll be posting a few Waiting for Gonzo 'extras' over the next few days. 
Check back tomorrow for some free download goodies!

In the meantime, I thought I'd share a few of the nice things people have been saying about Waiting for Gonzo:

"Cousins follows up his debut … with another tightly woven, heartwarming story of the ups and downs in the life of a teenager and his family."
Kirkus Reviews

"In a darkly comic story … Cousins offers a vibrant, highly visual account of teen angst and backfiring schemes. (Oz) makes more than a few mistakes at school and at home, but readers will never doubt that his heart is in the right place."
—Publishers Weekly

"Dave Cousins has created a distinctive narrator in Oz, as well as a hugely believable cast of supporting characters in this heart-warming and humorous novel. Dealing with some serious issues, Waiting for Gonzo manages to be simultaneously funny and thought-provoking."
