Another textbook? Why not? There’s still plenty of good stuff worth learning, and I couldn’t cram it all into the first three. Naked Notes! is now available at Amazon. Do a writer friend of yours a HUGE favor, order a signed copy from me!
Now Available!
Zeus’s Cookbook is now available. Don’t miss this bizarre story of Greek deities served up in a strange, new way! Autographed copies make great gifts, y’know. Drop me a line if you’d like one.
