The Creek at the Edge of the World

The Creek at the Edge of the World (2024) is available in paperback and Kindle. It’s a handbook for artists, but anyone can benefit from the advice in here. This book is about ignoring the voices around you and following your own instincts. It also explores the problems that come with a wild imagination, problems like overthinking and excessive worrying.

At the same time, this book is also a memoir about growing up during the 1980s and 1990s. It includes stories about playground misadventures, a blizzard, a TV anchorman, a skeleton in a glass box, the Y2K scare, and the long process of learning how to draw. Several of Curry’s ink drawings are featured throughout the book.

Now on Amazon: Robots, Vampires, and Bad Co-Workers

My new Amazon book is called Robots, Vampires, and Bad Co-Workers. It’s a collection of three of my earlier books: Finding Drake Novak, Under the Electric Sun, and How to Make an Artist Miserable. The first two are science fiction comedies. The third is a humorous essay about the annoying little things people say to artists.

Robots, Vampires, and Bad Co-Workers is available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle. You can click here to order. Thanks for stopping by.
