You can find all four of my published novels here<\/a>! You can read an excerpt from my current novel-in-progress here<\/a><\/i>!<\/p>\n

Longest book:<\/strong> Crash Shadow (424 pages)<\/p>\n

Shortest book:<\/strong> Gutter Folklore. (137 pages)<\/p>\n

Crash Shadow is really two books about two characters whose stories run parallel to each other, which is why it’s so long. Gutter Folklore is really a collection of short stories strung together, but it still works as a narrative.<\/i><\/p>\n

Most expensive:<\/strong> Crash Shadow, paperback version, $15.oo.<\/p>\n

Least expensive:<\/strong> Crash Shadow, Kindle Verison. $2.oo.<\/p>\n

The irony is that the Kindle version of my longest book is also my cheapest book!<\/i><\/p>\n

The two that are on Kindle Unlimited:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Crash Shadow and Gutter Folklore<\/p>\n

I really should just make them all Kindle Unlimited, right?<\/i><\/p>\n

Longest title:<\/strong> The title of my Novel-in-Progress: What the Hell Ever Happened to Yuri Rozhenko?<\/i><\/p>\n

Shortest Title:<\/strong> The Clubber <\/p>\n

Books with Subtitles:<\/strong> Three. The Falling Circle has no subtitle, and neither does my novel-in-progress. The subtitles of the three that have them are “A Tale of Two Addicts,” A Tale of the Eighties”, and “Getting Sliced by Slices of Life”.<\/p>\n

Books with covers I made myself:<\/strong> Two: Crash Shadow and Gutter Folklore have covers that I made on my own.<\/p>\n

Books with covers that I commissioned:<\/strong> Three: The cover of The Clubber was the first artwork that I ever commissioned for a book, by thee Bri Mellot<\/a> whose interpretation of my art was spot on! I then commissioned artwork for The Falling Circle from Moxie Moth<\/a>, an artist I really admire and who is more than familiar with the alt circles I traverse in. For my current Novel-in-progress entitled What the Hell Ever Happened to Yuri Rozhenko?<\/em> I commissioned artwork from thee wonderful Hellga Protiv<\/a> whom I found on Facebook, and whose artwork has further inspired me in my writing<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Best seller:<\/strong> Crash Shadow<\/p>\n

Worst seller:<\/strong> Gutter Folklore<\/p>\n

In reality the sales of all my books has been steady. Crash Shadow was my first published book, and Gutter Folklore was the last book I published, ergo their sales are just a temporal reflection!<\/i><\/p>\n

Book I would recommend if you can’t decide which one to buy:<\/strong> I would choose The Falling Circle<\/a>. It’s a good intro to my writing, and encapsulates a lot of the concepts I write about in general.<\/p>\n

The Odd Duck:<\/strong> Definttely Gutter Folklore. That’s more of a parody of the subjects I’m usually serious about. It is defnitely an example of my earlier writing style and there is some very silly and out there scenes that I would not write today. <\/p>\n

Books that I intend to work on:<\/strong> I’ve already mentioned my novel-in-progress. Asides from that I have written two plays<\/a> and plan to publish them. I am also planning on making a collection of my best blog posts from the past twenty years in one collection, published under the title which is also my blog title: Terminal Berkeley Denizen.<\/p>\n

I also have an outline for yet another book about Skye Wright, concerning her later life when she tries, once again, to right her life by trying to stay sober and go vegetarian, among other things.<\/p>\n

And I also have one story I would like to work out, a book that’s a departure from my usual genre: A story of a hard working countryside man who finds a new career that he never bargained for. (No spoilers!)<\/p>\n

Most family friendly title:<\/strong> None of them. Sex, drugs, violence, and tons of swearing encapsulate all of my books! If I had to choose the least offensive… Maybe The Falling Circle? Though there is a conversation about talking genitals<\/a> in the work.<\/p>\n

My book about the hard working countryside man will probably be my most family friendly work, but it will still has plenty of salty parts.<\/p>\n
