Alan Goldsher's humor/horror mash-up Paul is Undead: The British Zombie Invasion will be published by Pocket Books in June, 2010. He is also the author of Modest Mouse: A Pretty Good Read (St. Martin’s Press, 2006) and Hard Bop Academy: The Sidemen of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers (Hal Leonard, 2002), as well as the novel Jam. Written as A.M. Goldsher, his chicklit novels The True Naomi Story, Reality Check, and Today's Special were published in the U.K. in 2008, with Superheroine to come in 2011.

Alan is the co-author of actor Robert Englund's Hollywood Monster: A Walk Down Elm Street with the Man of Your Dreams (Pocket Books, 2009) and triathlete Sarah Reinertsen's In a Single Bound: Losing My Leg, Finding Myself, and Training for Life (Globe Pequot, 2009). He has also collaborated on book projects with comedians Bernie Mac and Fred Willard, actors Michael Madsen and Joey Lawrence, film director Tobe Hooper, former "American Idol" contestant Sanjaya Malakar, former NBA player John Salley, and Chicago-based improvisational comics T.J. & Dave, among other notable celebrities and public figures.

Goldsher's sportswriting has been seen in ESPN The Magazine, ESPN.com, and NBA.com, and he has contributed to the music periodicals Bass Player and Drum.

During his 10-plus years as a professional bassist, Goldsher recorded with Janet Jackson, Cypress Hill, and Naughty by Nature; toured the world with Digable Planets; and performed at the 1994 Grammy Awards.

Alan lives and writes in Chicago.
