About the Book

"The second you let yourself fall into a pattern is the second you become part of that pattern. I'm just not willing to do that." - Author Chris Akin, October 2019Chris Akin is a lot of things. He's an entrepreneur that has built and owns multiple businesses. He's a highly regarded hard rock/heavy metal comedic shock jock that has been featured on radio, television and documentaries for more than 20 years. He's a father of three. He's the most loyal and honest guy you'll ever meet. He's also a successful author. "When I'm asked what I do, I always say "author" first," Akin admits. "The businesses, the radio and the other stuff are all fun, but writing books that move people in various ways is just the thing I take the most pride in." His first 5 books have been well received for different reasons. His CAUSE & EFFECT series of heavy metal books have taken a personal-yet-industry-phobic look at albums that heavily changed the way fanbases looked at some of the biggest bands in the world. His books LITTLE VICTORIES and CALL ME CHRIS have been widely regarded as "self help" novels that have shown how he tackled two of the hardest situations he's had to endure - divorce and an industrial explosion that nearly killed him. Based on these books, Akin's latest book ...AND OTHER THINGS I SHOULD NOT SAY... is bound to send a shock to the system of people that are looking for more of the same type of writing. "If you are looking for more inspiration, I suggest you look past this one," Akin says with a chuckle. "Not everything I've ever done is all flowers and candy. There's not a lot of "self help" here. Just a need for some mental help!"Unlike his past works, ...AND OTHER THINGS I SHOULD NOT SAY... is geared more toward the fans of his radio show than his previous books. While autobiographical, Akin has chosen to tell stories that (like with most people) should probably have stayed in the back of his memory as "crazy things" he did in his youth. "We've all did really stupid things when we were kids," the author admits. "I was just more wild and dangerous than most people. I packed a lot of crazy living into a very short period of time." ...AND OTHER THINGS I SHOULD NOT SAY... covers a small, defined period of Akin's life. The stories told in this book cover a small period of time between 1986 and 1990, when he had just graduated high school, joined the military and quickly found himself living in Korea as a member of the Armed Forces. As he admits, it was just a long party. "It was all sex, booze and partying," Akin recalls. "Yes, I was in the military and I played that game as much as I had to, but in the end, all I wanted to do was run around, party hard, drink myself into oblivion, and repeat." As you will see in ...AND OTHER THINGS I SHOULD NOT SAY..., Chris Akin did just that. While some of these stories are absolutely ridiculous, calloused and, well, crazy, Akin tells these stories in a way that will make you laugh if you aren't overly sensitive or looking to impose today's standards of conduct onto actions from 30+ years ago."I doubt I'll be making any new friends or fans with any of the overly sensitive, social justice douchebags of the world with this book," the author laughs. "That's not really the point. ...AND OTHER THINGS I SHOULD NOT SAY... is probably the most appropriate title for any of my books. Every story in this book, every word of it, are real events that happened. I'm not proud of all of them, but I wouldn't take any of them back either. We've all lived through stupid things we've done as people. Too many people live in fear of people finding out about their past. I don't and won't. Here is it. It's ugly. It's filthy. It's wrong. And it's mine. I fear nothing. These stories are things that society would instruct me not to tell. Because of that, both middle fingers are up and aimed firmly at society. I don't do anything else based on what anyone wants. This is no different."
