Making It Up As I Go Along
NEWS & EVENTS
Pretty simple—following publication of my debut novel "Welcome to Kamini" (Guernica World Editions, 2021), the big news is April 15, 2023 debut of my next novel, "Dr. Wong—A Cole Ember Spy Thriller."
I'm excited about a lot of things surrounding it: It's laugh-out-loud funny, mixes in some horror and science fiction elements, has a killer cover, and my agent and publisher wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. They said, "no way." I said, "So it's that good, eh?" You see, it makes fun of EVERYTHING. I finally decided to publish it on Amazon, even though I am a traditionally published author. It's a test of sorts. I've started to create something of a fan base, and in self-publishing, the author gets a much higher percentage of book sales. So we'll see. I've heard that Trigger Warnings are all the rage, so here you go:
TRIGGER WARNING: Violence, Sex, Murder, Smoking, Sentences Longer Than Fifteen Words, Political Incorrectness, Harmless Jokes About Both American Political Parties, Jokes About America in General, Plenty of Jokes About Canada, Use of Guns, Use of Claws, Use of Semicolons.

I have no idea what in hell is going on. I just saw that Rip charged $300 for new headshots on my Visa. This, apparently, is his favorite:
