Most of my books are available at all major online retailers, Barnes & Noble, Apple, Kobo, and many, many more. That also includes print and, by December of 2023, audiobook editions. Some titles are already available as audiobooks, such as Mind Bender.

It's a good question, William. "Carnival of Characters, Crusades and Causes" is the subtitle for the entire volume of all 5 books. "Humpty Dumpty had a Great Fall" is the subtitle for the first book in that volume. Sadly, Amazon doesn't quite understand "volumes." I left a note on the amazon pages for each installment to this effect under "From the Author." But it's easy to miss. I appreciate your question because others may share your confusion.

Headline news is usually traumatizing enough that I feel the need to heal the wounds through storytelling. Often that takes the form of extrapolating from emerging technologies and pondering how they will entirely change what it means to be human. At other times, it takes the form of paranormal fantasies where I suddenly have all the superpowers I need to deal with this crazy world. They say we regress to an earlier childhood state when we’re suffering from PTSD. Maybe my delving into the paranormal fantasy genre so suitable to YA audiences as well as to adults is testament to that.

Normal, waking consciousness is a factor in writer's block. I’ve trained myself to write instead from an altered state, sidestepping the issue entirely. A good biofeedback machine and or years practicing meditation will do the trick for you (possibly months with either if you’re particularly gifted.)
