I just published one called Main Character Syndrome, Kindle version available at Amazon, paperback by tomorrow (2/21/24). Something brand new about artificial intelligence and mortality called Uneasy World was also recently published and is currently available at Amazon along with There Ain't Nowhere but Here about dysfunctional tenants and communities. Uneasy World is the hardest book I've had to write so far and I think it came out nicely. A few years ago, I founded a co. called Camp Elasticity Productions, edited and published an anthology called The Cool Zone, a revised edition of my first novel, Reality Stars, published three more, Problem Contest, Lucky Jokers, and Happiness, and started putting together a film.

My first two summer picks will get here in about a week. I also ordered a copy of Norm MacDonald's fake memoir, Based on a True Story, and From Acid to the Body of Christ by Daxx Danzig and Philip K. Dick's The Unteleported Man. Also Torgoff's Bop Apocalypse.(less)

That's set in Morocco and might have been pseudo-autobiographical or adapted from folklore so maybe it's not proper fiction, but that's splitting hairs. Mrabet was a Tangiers native promoted by Paul Bowles as a master storyteller. He's still alive, revered as a master painter, which I never knew until five minutes ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohamed...(less)

Kathryne Your reviews have me wanting to check out some of those titles...
