Author supports World Suicide Prevention Day by donating proceeds of her “Nirvana” book to U.S. & Canadian suicide prevention charities.

 

LOS ANGELES—Author/journalist Carrie Borzillo will appear on Season 3 of the reality television show, “Ex-Wives of Rock,” which premieres Sunday, Aug. 31, 2014, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Canada’s Slice network (http://www.slice.ca/ex-wives-of-rock/). A U.S. airdate on Fuse TV is to be announced.

 

“I can’t wait for fans to see this season of ‘Ex-Wives of Rock.’ I had a blast shooting my scenes with the show’s awesome rock goddesses,” says Wallingford, CT-born, L.A.-based Borzillo, ex-wife of Chris Vrenna (Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson).

 

“Ex-Wives of Rock” stars Bobbie Brown (Warrant’s “Cherry Pie” video vixen, ex-wife of Warrant’s late-singer Jani Lane, and ex-fiancé of Motley Crüe’s Tommy Lee); Sharise Neil (ex-wife of Motley Crüe’s Vince Neil); Athena Kottak (Tommy Lee’s sister and ex-wife of Scorpions’ James Kottak) and Blue Dixon (ex-wife of Warrant’s Jerry Dixon). The show is narrated by Canadian Shannon Tweed (wife of KISS bassist Gene Simmons).

 

According to Slice’s website, one episode that Borzillo appears in is titled “Higher Ground” (airdate: Sept. 7) and is described as: “Athena’s regrets over moving back in with James forces her to seek some much-needed help. New friend and rocker ex-wife Carrie Borzillo drinks with Sharise, and a few things get said which could land them both in trouble.”

 

Borzillo, who got her start as a rock journalist at age 17 in her home state of Connecticut, and was named 2009 Music Journalist of the Year by NARIP (National Association of Recording Industry Professionals), is the author of three sex, drugs and rock-and-roll books. Her books include: former porn star Tera Patrick’s “Sinner Takes All: A Memoir of Love & Porn” (2010, Gotham/Penguin); Borzillo’s personal rock-chick self-help guide to life, “Cherry Bomb: The Ultimate Guide to Becoming a Better Flirt, a Tougher Chick, and a Hotter Girlfriend, and to Living Life Like a Rock Star” (2008, Simon & Schuster); and her first rock book, “Eyewitness Nirvana: The Day by Day Chronicles” (2000+, Carlton Books), which has been reissued in several languages and countries over the past 14 years, including the latest collectors’ edition, 2014’s “Nirvana: In The Words of the People Who Were There,” to commemorate the 20^th anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s tragic suicide on April 5, 1994.

 

Borzillo continues to promote her “Nirvana” book to help spread awareness of suicide prevention. For National Suicide Prevention Week (Sept. 7-13, 2014) and World Suicide Prevention Day (Sept. 10, 2014), Borzillo is offering signed copies of her book for $15 (including shipping and handling) in the U.S., with 50% of sales benefiting the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). For the Canadian market where “Ex-Wives of Rock” Season 3 is debuting on Slice, she is offering her book for $25 Canadian with 50% of sales benefiting the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention (CASP).

While all of her books are available anywhere books are sold, the SIGNED books for CHARITY can only be purchased on the author’s website at http://carrieborzillo.com/books.html.

“As with Kurt Cobain’s tragic death 20 years ago, many suicides are a product of drug addiction and depression. Since Sept. 7-13 is National Suicide Prevention Week and Sept. 10 is World Suicide Prevention Day, I want to do my part to help a cause that is very important to me by donating a portion of sales of signed copies of my Nirvana book to two organizations that fight daily for suicide prevention,” says Borzillo.
