Rocking Fatherhood covers ear infections, egg poaching and more

Before parenthood, Chris Kornelis rocked it as a music writer for Seattle Weekly. Two kids later, he's still making a living as a writer, a freelancer, and recently added a new book to his resume, a how-to guide for dads-to-be who want to stay cool.

And he rocks that, too. Who else gets Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan to write his foreword, in which he recalls of his own road trip to fatherhood: "I remember reading 'What to Expect When You're Expecting' when my wife was pregnant with our first daughter. I also remember being, quite frankly, freaked-the-(bleep) out."

Well said, Duff.
