My books

In addition to short articles, poetry and stories, I have one book published: The Writer's Online Marketplace, published by Writer's Digest Books in 2001. As you can guess from the title and publication date, it's now out of print.

I'm illustrating a picture book written by comedian/actor/writer Michael Ian Black, due out from Simon & Schuster in 2012.

I have other book projects on the go and will post more about them here when they find a publisher.
