  • My new book Decision Paralysis is out now

    I’m very happy to announce my 18th book, Decision Paralysis, is out now. TL;DR: Amazon print and Amazon kindle links. I did not think I was ever going to write another book. I quit writing completely in 2021, and spent at least a year 100% away from it, not even calling myself a writer, not…

  • Vol.13, Revisited

    Vol.13 rides again. I’ve revisited and republished my 13th book from 2016. Let’s cut to the chase with the Amazon link: https://amzn.to/4e81lyi For those who don’t remember, this was a book of 20 short stories and flash fiction pieces.

    I’ve been obsessed with print lately, which is a real kick in the ass, because I sell almost no print books these days.  I can sometimes get a few people to kick in a buck to look at my stuff on the kindle, but sales of the dead tree counterparts have been absolutely abysmal.  If…

  • Goodbye, iUniverse

    No, iUniverse isn’t going out of business.   (Well, maybe they are – I haven’t checked.)  I’ve just decided to pull my books from iUniverse. I’ve done three books with them, and the idea of print on demand radically changed my writing career.  I mean, I have not made millions from it, but prior to…

  • Random bitching about Lulu, and why print is dead
