A selection of books I’ve either written, or that include my nonfiction. Breakfast on Mars has several short-form pieces, and The Magazine: The Book has several long-form pieces. Someday I’ll get around to collecting it all somewhere else, but it could be a while.
Note: if you want a signed copy, I have stock of all of these, generally in both hardcover and paperback. Contact me for details.

The Blogger Abides
A book about working as a blogger, though I later realized it was more about being an independent creative professional. Kindle format only, a little out of date.
