Biography

I grew up in Bloomington, Illinois where I learned how to be a real person. I went to Arizona State University where I learned how to party with girls with fake boobs and kids who wish they were part of the Gotti family. I hang out in West Palm Beach, Florida when I like to pretend I'm rich. And now I live in Hollywood, California, where I say WTF all day long. So you could say I'm your average dude. I put my pants on two legs at a time. I shave with the rusty blade of an old lawnmower from 1918. I style my hair with pine tar, and brush my teeth with sandpaper. You know...just like everybody else. But, on top of that, when I wake up in the morning, I write books. More at www.BrianLaesch.com.

Inspiration

God, My Parents, Roald Dahl, Judy Blume, Ernest Hemingway, Conan O'Brien, Coen Brothers, Eminem, Tupac, Tucker Max, Beautiful Women, and my early years after college spent in Hollywood pursuing acting and facing a lot of emasculating rejection. This list of inspiration may not make much sense together, but these really are some of the major influences on my creativity.
