Removing man from his natural world of understanding and predictability, and into an unfamiliar landscape, provides me a mechanism for highlighting and contrasting a variety of existential themes.

All of my books are free on the iTunes App Store and Google Play.

On being a successful author….

…I don’t know the answer. I’m not a successful author. But I’d guess it depends on how you define ‘success.’

I think we’d all agree on a traditional definition that would include endless 5 star reviews and gazillions of book sales — living in mansions, driving fancy cars, talk show appearances…but, I digress. As an amateur, self-published author, I’ve read a lot on how to write, how to market, how
