Nikki Sixx is a lot of things… Bassist… Karate flying kicker, Amy Winehouse fan, Bret Michaels non-fan, and apparently an author, too.
But not just any writer, like, you know, one of those unhip doofus writers who only write one book at a time. Nope, brother done got started on TWO books, son… Fo’ shizzle, yo… Wesside.
One book will be released the upcoming summer (around May or June 2012) and the other one in 2013. It’s safe to say that neither of us at Dose of Metal plan on reading either of them, or any of his previous books for that matter. Why?
Well, for one thing, we don’t really read — if you couldn’t figure that out already by our poor grasp of the English language.
Two, it’s Nikki Sixx. I wouldn’t touch anything he’s released with a wooden pole. Or is stick? Or maybe… Woodden Stikk?
Anyway, here’s what Nikki had to say about his books on Facebook:
“Neither book is like anything i have done before […] I pride myself on not writing the same book over & over and also not using a ghost writer… Of course it takes longer, but raw honesty through words is what I am driven to publish… After I get it all out on paper I use a trusted editor to help me carve it into a palatable experience…“

If he’s really not using a ghost writer, that’s pretty cool. Of course, the term ‘ghost writer’ usually implies not admitting it, so unless we give him a lie detector test, how can we ever be sure?
