Publications
Here are a few items I’ve written. These don’t include feature articles or technical stuff. But they’re something.
The new 5-Spot ebook travel series. Each book provides information about five free places to visit in one of many cities and regions around the country.
Ebook Now: The Essential and Simple Guide to Creating and Publishing Professional Ebooks for Kindle and ePub. The title says it all.
Dancing the River Lightly. A novel. A frolic through the woods. A storm. And more.
Grabbing Characters by the Throat and Squeezing the Truth Out of Those Lying Bastards. A look at how to use dishonesty in fiction to reveal the complexities of characters’ personalities and their relationships with those around them. In addition to the Kindle format, the ebook is available in other formats at Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, and the iTunes Store.
“Birds of Paradise,” Silk Road Review, Volume 6, Issue 2 (Summer-Fall 2011).
The silent epidemic: climate change extends the range of forest-killing beetles. Kindle ebook, 2007. The book is based on an article I wrote several years ago. I discovered it was on the Amazon site accidentally. I was never informed about its use, nor have I ever received royalties. Such is the nature of publishing these days.
Pacific Passion. Fraser, Colorado: DB Publications, 1987. Part of the proposed gag-gift series “ToileTales: Read ’em ’n’ wipe.” Like the last book, the link is to Amazon. I was quite surprised to find this book listed. One used copy. I’m tempted to buy it myself, just because I can.
Hungry? Seattle Family: The Lowdown on Where the Real People Eat! Los Angeles, California: Glove Box Guides. 2008. Contributed to the collection of restaurant reviews.
In addition to this stuff above, I’ve published several other ebooks that are based on my blog posts. I did that mostly because it was fun coming up with the covers, that and being able to tell people I have a bunch of ebooks on Amazon. Amazon sells them as Kindle publications, of course. Barnes & Noble provides them as NOOK Books. And Smashwords offers my books in a variety of formats.
