Desert Dog Press Chapbooks (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

My first book with a real publisher had a very long gestation period. Problem was, I'd told a lot of people that it was coming out about a year and a half before it actually did. In the meantime, I took it upon myself to make these chapbooks. It was an attempt to get something out there, outside of the lit magazines. There were 50 copies of each of the three books. I know that doesn't sound like much, but it was a lot of work, and if I'd thought about what was actually involved in assembling the things, I never would have started.

I sold the sets cheap, so they went fast and they've been "out of print" for 15 years. This electronic book format seemed like a good excuse to re-release them. I resisted the temptation to re-write everything, so what you get here is what I put out there in 1996. Which is to say, not the most polished and beautiful work, but an honest snapshot of where I was as a young writer.

Autorenporträt

Started out as a musician, playing in punk bands in the late 70s/very early 80s, then traveling the world with the reggae band Boom Shaka. I retired from music when I was 30 years old and began writing a few years later. I am a better writer than musician, but I'm better at pretty much everything than I was at music. Writing is also much easier, considering there are no musicians involved. You really don't want to hang around that type if you don't have to.

My first collection of poetry and short stories, alternative man, was published in 1996 and it's available right here on Smashwords. Or if you're one of those ink-on-paper Luddites, on the mjpbooks.com site.
