The Book Shelf

The Thing About My Books...


My nonfiction books will ALWAYS be free or nearly free digitally, but the physical copies are expensive. They are so expensive because the people I want to buy my books are the people who are going to highlight them, reread them, and save them forever.


The book publishing world is a mess. 10% recycled paper in a book is currently the best we can do. That's not going to cut it. Since I can't make a fully compostable book with 100% post-consumer recycled materials, no harmful chemicals, and a zero carbon footprint (at least, not yet), I want to make sure the printed copies go to people who want to keep them in their libraries forever.


With that being said, click any of the links below to get the digital copies for free.

Pickle Me

Brand-Market Fit

I wear the same thing every day. It's intentional. A lot of world-class professional have taken this same approach. Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Ferriss, Ryan Holiday, Gary Vaynerchuk, Steve Jobs, Marie Foleo, John Lasseter, and Bill Nye just to name a few.

Brand-market fit is an art. This book is all about how to make it work for you.

The Skinwalker of Coyote Springs

Here's my description on Amazon:

Dive into a chilling adventure that's sure to send shivers down your spine! "The Skinwalker of Coyote Springs" is a gripping journey in the realm of children's thrillers, reminiscent of the eerie tales told by RL Stine. When a group of friends stumbles upon an old legend revealing the malevolent mysteries of their town, they are thrust into a nightmare that blurs the lines between reality and myth.


Venture alongside Will, Natalie, Adam, and George as they unravel the secrets of Skinwalkers—shapeshifting entities with a sinister agenda. With each chapter, the stakes get higher, friendships are tested, and trust becomes a luxury they can rarely afford.


Adding to the haunting narrative are the frightening images crafted using advanced AI, ensuring that every eerie detail leaps off the page and etches itself in your memory. Whether you're a young thrill-seeker or an adult with a penchant for nostalgia, this tale promises heart-pounding suspense and jaw-dropping revelations that will keep you hooked until the very end.
