About the author
Chris Walter, a recovering drug addict and hope-to-die punk rocker, began writing purposefully in 1998 after realizing that his life up to that point had been meaningless. His first published novel, Punk Rules OK (Burn Books, 2002) went largely unnoticed except by detractors, inspiring him to take a DIY approach to the book game. With help from his girlfriend who worked at a printing shop, he started GFY Press and began to write and distribute a steady stream of fiction novels and music biographies. Gofuckyerself Press then expanded to include unschooled troublemakers Simon Snotface, Stewart Black, and Australian Drew Gates, drawing further criticism from the established literary industry. Now, more than twenty titles and twelve years later, GFY Press remains undaunted.
