If you feel like upping the stalker stakes, you can visit William's Facebook profile here. We'd link you to his MySpace, but it's dying a slow, painful, SPAM-infested, neglect-related death. Everyone stopped using MySpace the second William learned how to make his profile all flashy and fancy. He's a little bitter about that.



William Kostakis is the award-winning author of Loathing Lola, the side-splittingly funny story of Australia’s newest reality TV star, fifteen-year-old Courtney Marlow, with a love story, some mystery, betrayal, cuss words and Lola to boot. He’d been working on a variant of the same story for a while, since the sixth grade, actually. It scored him a publishing contract when he was 17. Now, at 19, he’s looking to milk it for all it’s worth, kicking off a shameless promotional tour instead of properly addressing the growing pile of university assessments on his desk. Be prepared to see William on television, hear him on radio, find his name in newspapers and notice him running down George Street in a Loathing Lola-themed T-shirt screaming, “BUY MY BOOK! PLEASE! PLEASE! BUY IT NOW!” – all in a bid to, oddly enough, get you to buy his book, which he insists is pretty good. In 2005, William won Sydney Morning Herald Young Writer of the Year. If you’ve met him, he’s probably beaten you over the head with his plaque. He’s just that into himself. In all seriousness, he’s pretty down-to-earth. He might look overbearingly smug, but he can’t help it, his eyebrow’s autonomous. It senses a photograph being taken and inches up closer to his hairline. One of his three winning short stories from 2005, Bing Me, was published in the Sydney Morning Herald Spectrum section, and can be found here. In it, this guy has an Internet relationship. William insists it isn’t about him, but that doesn’t stop us from silently judging him. William would tell you more about himself, but that’d totally be stepping on the toes of his shock tell-all autobiography WILLIAM KOSTAKIS: The Untold Truth – scheduled for release after the drunken gunshot wedding in Vegas but before the stint in rehab. Until then, thanks for stopping by. For more news on upcoming releases and appearances, William’s personal blog and exclusive downloads, visit williamkostakis.com. Or better still, favourite it. Loathing Lola is available from all your favourite retailers, and published by Pan Macmillan.
