An attempt to promote my small press publishing marque and a series of six books - but timed perfectly for an age when nobody reads anymore!

Bet you'll appreciate this backfire. A friend shared a profound and inspiring quote from me, several months ago, and I recognized it as my own work, and was pleased that it resonated with him and so many of his friends, deeply. But when I went to check and see which of my essays about friendship or compassion, or discussions about art and life it came from, I realized - nope - it was freakin' advertising 'copy' from my second book!
