I write creative nonfiction, a series of memoirs written like novels, 5 books so far, published by Tumbleweed Books. They are wild true-life 1960s adventures on the road from the Rockies to hitchhiking across Africa to Nepal. All my books have received 5-star reviews, and I’ve won a number of awards. CHICAGO RAGE details life on the street and on the road from Chicago to New York in 1969. PARTY AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW, won the Literary Titan Gold Book Award in Nonfiction, and HOME AT THE EDGE was a Finalist in the 2024 IAN Book of the Year Awards in the category of Non-Fiction: History, and it also won the 2024 PenCraft Book Award for literary excellence. My most recent book, TEENAGE RUNAWAY, came out on July first. CHASING KARMA: North to Wisconsin is about our organic farming commune in 1970 should be out as soon, and many more projected to follow.
Every published novelist who went the traditional route had to pitch their book to a stranger in a few hundred words and hope for the best. Most of them were rejected many times before they weren't. What separates the queries that work from the ones that don't is specific, learnable and far less mysterious than it seems.
A strong book launch does not happen by accident. This 30-day checklist helps indie authors prepare their book, organize promotion, reach readers, request reviews, and create steady launch momentum without feeling lost or overwhelmed.
Stitchpunk is the genre where heroes are sewn, not born. Think ragdoll creatures with button eyes and burlap skin, navigating ruined worlds built from scrap, thread and salvaged clockwork. Born from animation and embraced by indie storytellers, it is one of fiction's most visually distinctive and quietly moving aesthetics.
