Lookout! Records artist [and Mr. T Experience frontman] Dr. Frank has announced that he has obtained a book deal through Delacorte/Random House Books. The novel has been titled "King Dork," inspired by the track of the same name from MTX's …And The Women Who Love Them disc. Here's the book's rough plot:

"'King Dork' follows the picked-upon and wry Thomas "Chi-Mo" Henderson and his only friend, Sam Hellerman, as they fight their way through the demoralizing, mysterious, ridiculous experience of high school. Tom and Sam have each other, and their band, with its ever changing name; Baby Batter, Tennis With Guitars, Liquid Malice, Green Sabbath, Balls Deep, (to name a few.) The book is funny, and sad, and filled with observations about starting a band and being young, with thriller/mystery elements as well as larger observations about the nature of life. Dr. Frank said, 'What I'm going for is an amalgam of Judy Blume, P.G. Wodehouse, Philip Roth, Agatha Christie and Behind the Music.'"

"King Dork" is slated to be out sometime in 2006.
