goodreads add to

As The Weird Sisters return from their first What-Could-Go-Wrong (spoiler alert – everything) National Tour, bandmates/lovers John and Jenny face their iffy futures together (or apart) as the brilliant and mysterious Katie upends the romantic/artistic balance that’s been precarious-at-best. The unmitigated vanity, the mythopoeic beauty, the megalomania and heartbreak, the exquisite talent and ludicrous hubris – it’s all here in Fredrick’s wonderful, tart-sweet, final installment.

The Writer’s Life e-Magazine: A Bookish Chat with ‘The King of Good Intentions III’ John Andrew Fredrick

“Hard to encapsulate in a single phrase or message, really, but I will try:  it’s that the world of indie rock is as heartbreaking as it is enthralling at times.  And that Los Angeles is, paradoxically, the most ridiculous and most wondrous place in the USA.”

Confessions of an Eccentric Bookaholic: Meet the Author: John Andrew Fredrick, Author of The King of Good Intentions III

“All of us who write fiction draw from, then greatly exaggerate, reality.  Good old Hemingway, after all, did command us to write what we knew!”

As the Page Turns: 🎤Interview with John Andrew Fredrick Author The King of Good Intentions III

“The Weird Sisters are a janglepop band in a land and era that was mostly about hard rock groups, pay to play sorts of Sunset Strip bands.  They’re not in it for money and fame–and they’re, as we meet them, succeeding grandly in NOT attaining those two things!”

Blogging Authors: Q&A with John Andrew Fredrick

“It’s the funniest book you’ve never read.  It will put you in mind of Tristram Shandy (if you majored in English in college) or Proust (if you minored in French).  Seriously, it’s pretty funny.  It’s at times outlandish.  And our tagline has been “Your money back if you don’t laugh at least seven and a half times.””

Book Bloggin’ Princess: 🏰 Author Interview Featuring John Andrew Fredrick

“Know that no matter how hard it is to write a novel, getting it published is far more difficult.  I wrote 500 pages of a novel longhand before I realized it had no plot other than starring two recent Californian college grads who summered in England.  I threw it out.  I think I did the right thing.  That’s advice I’d give to anybody who writes fiction:  just because you throw out a lot of material it isn’t a failure but a prompt, as it were, for you to do something better.  Perhaps.”

Literarily Speaking: Interview with Dr. John Andrew Fredrick, Author of THE KING OF GOOD INTENTIONS

“When John gets back from having worked on a positively ridiculous hair metal band’s video for three archetypal days in the desert and he knows he is gonna pursue the brainy beauty he met on it–despite the fact that he has a girlfriend who is IN his band.  Curtains, for John!”

The Dark Phantom Review: Interview with John Andrew Fredrick, Author of The King of Good Intentions III

Interview at The Faerie Review

“One generates inspiration by writing sentences one would like to read.”

Chapter Break: Interview with John Andrew Fredrick

“I don’t like to give away too much but I certainly play upon, if not encourage, readers to question/wonder whether (since my writing is very tongue-in-cheek at times, as well as desperately earnest other times) the characters hew too closely to people I’ve known in real life.  And yet, I am kind of a nihilist when it comes to the epistemology of people.  I don’t think we can EVER know anyone–let alone our real selves.”
