Wayne Kraus is an independent writer, editor and publisher. His magnum opus is the digitized Complete Works of Jacob Boehme in English. After completing that Herculean labor he went to work full time as a "vulture publisher," digitizing classics from Kierkegaard, Camus, Karl Barth, Duncan Campbell and dozens more.
