We’re excited to share a milestone moment for Stalebread and the Razzy Dazzy Spasm Band by Michael Shurtz.

This book tells the story of early New Orleans street musicians who built their instruments, built their sound, and helped shape what we now call jazz—long before it had a name.

We’re proud to see this story recognized in a setting that understands its roots and its resonance.

For years, Genius Book Publishing has focused on true crime, fiction, and music history — with a little Sherlock Holmes thrown in for good measure.

Before Holmes ever graced Baker Street, there was Jack Whicher—Scotland Yard’s finest, pulled into a case that gripped Victorian England and helped shape modern detective fiction.

I just launched a book.

"The Art of Being Found" is for anyone who create stories, music, art, videos, etc and has ever wondered how the right people will find them.

It’s not about algorithms or shouting louder. It’s about showing up in ways that feel sustainable, human, and real.

This book is the most personal thing I’ve ever written. It’s about the quiet power of emotional resonance, trust, and building a creative life that actually lasts.

If you’re a creator—or love one—I’d be honored if you’d check it out.
