W. Somerset Maugham
“There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.”
W. Somerset Maugham

“One of the great tragedies of modern education is that most people are not taught to think critically. The majority of the world’s people, those of the West included, are taught to believe rather than to think. It’s much easier to believe than to think. People seldom think seriously about that which we are taught to believe, because we are all creatures of imitation and habit.”
Haki R. Madhubuti

“Killing a man should be harder than waving a length of pipe in their direction. It should take long enough for one's conscience to get in the way.”

Raeden Zen On November 23-24th I hope to release my new novella, "Perdu," as a Kindle freebie. It's a vampire tale in the big city; it combines my wacky, wild, fast-paced writing style with a doctor, a reporter, and a serial killer whose ability to wreak havoc would make Charles Manson blush. Stay tuned.

Raeden Zen DON’T WORRY WE’LL PRINT MORE . . .

In celebration of QE3 (and higher gas and food prices that will surely follow), I’m offering my economic satire, Flexon Vale, for FREE from September 15 – September 17 on the Kindle.

I’m doing my part to lower inflation. Because as Americans have learned for the last ten years, NO ONE EATS OR FUELS THEIR HOME OR VEHICLE, SO THEREFORE, INFLATION HAS BEEN LESS THAN 1% FOR TEN YEARS NOW. Anyway, back to reality (or fantasy), in Flexon Vale I hope to have provided some color on where we’ve been and where we’re going. Anyone who went to a big state university will find this book hysterical. Anyone who has studied history, and who believes we are repeating the poor decisions of our ancestors, will find this book incredibly interesting.

So give it a shot. It’s FREE, on Kindle, for a limited time only. And remember, don’t worry about anything, because they’ll print more.
