I really enjoyed this article. It was really interesting to hear about your experience writing and publishing your two books.
I appreciate that you shared the struggles you had trying to get traditionally published but how you see self publishing as a perfectly legitimate option.
I also just want to say I have read both your novels and not only did I throughly enjoy them, but as a fellow skateboarder who is also writing a book about my beloved pastime - seeing you do what you’ve done as a writer and a skateboarder is hugely inspirational.
So thank you for the books, the inspiration, and for all those incredible video parts.
P.S your switch backside 360 kickflip down that set was epic.
This is my first time reading about you and your series of books. I plan to cop Top of Mason ASAP and give it a read. I've always enjoyed writing but started to skate at 29 two years ago. That show about skaters sounds rad too! You need to continue to entertain that idea!
Walker great advice & insight on publishing ! I’m a long time associate of Karl’s -
I’ll send you a copy of my book in the future , I feel if anyone would appreciate the insight to the world of skateboarding you’d definitely be one of them.
Greetings Walker,
Thanks for the insight. As someone who has finished a blog to book project and in the verge of completing a 2nd one this was helpful. Cheers!

Keep killing it on and off the board.
Thank you for the kind words Michael! Hope to read your book someday too!
Amazing story man!
