THE BOOKSTORE IS NOW OPEN

I just received a new shipment of books so the bookstore on this site is now open again. If you want an autographed copy, you must order the books from this site.

Amazon and all the other online book outlets have copies as well is you wish to order anonymously.

I DO however receive a much higher royalty if you order DIRECTLY FROM THIS SITE.

Thank you.

FROM THE AUTHOR

I really like to read and write Transgressive Fiction - a genre I believe originally developed with William S. Burroughs, Kurt Vonnegut, and Phillip K. Dick in the fifties and later popularized by such great contemporary writers as Chuck Palahniuk, Douglas Coupland, and Brett Easton Ellis, in which characters feel trapped and suffocated by their lives in every day society and try to break free of those walls of solid iron and concrete in unique and sometimes abnormal and unexpected ways.

Who can’t remember the first time they met Tyler Durdin or Patrick Bateman?

I'm anything but a perfect person and I believe we all have these very interesting character flaws that are so unique and can tell such an original story if we are willing to put aside our shame, let the ideas gestate for a while, and write about it. And then we put that fictitious twist in it, just for fun. Someone can always identify - maybe more than one would think, and in the process of exposing yourself, you are helping someone else expose themselves. I believe exposure is good for the soul - at least it has been for me.

REMEMBER

“Accomplishments are like skyscrapers. But do we ever look at such buildings and assume they sprung up overnight? No. We’ve seen the traffic congestion that attends them. The skeletons of beams and girders. The swarm of builders and the rattle of cranes.

Everything grand is made from a series of ugly little statements. Everything worthwhile by hours of self-doubt and days of drudgery.All the works that you and I admire sit atop a foundation of failure.

So whatever your project, whatever your struggle, whatever your dream, keep toiling, because the world needs your skyscraper."

- Pierce Brown, author of the Red Rising trilogy
