“These are increasingly uncertain times in the publishing business, and it has never been more difficult to break out a new author,” an editor at a major publishing house informed me after spending eight days deliberating on A Tale of the Mojave. It was a nice way of saying he’d decided not to take a chance on it because its controversial content didn't jive with what's in fashion. All the major publishing houses are seeking writers who follow current trends rather than taking a chance on anything novel (excuse the pun) by an unknown penman.

Ergo, I decided to self-publish through the company that handles the band. And since people from all over the world visit Torn Page’s website, and I’m the only author on here, hey, I’ve got the market cornered, heh heh.

Thanks for dropping by and hope you enjoy!
