Yup, after several years of scribbling in my cave, I have two books out at once--just because why the heck not?

The first is a collection of brief articles I've written over the past decade or so, which I have titled SPECIAL FEATURES: SHORT TAKES ON POP CULTURE FROM ANDROIDS TO ZOMBIES. I think the essays are fun and informative, and of ideal length for bathroom reading.

The second book is slightly more epic, being the saga of a young German woman who travels to Colonial Africa during the lead-up to WWII, a subject I learned much about from my late mother. Its title is SAFARI MINE: AN AFRICAN ODYSSEY 1928-1937. I am at work now on the sequel, which will cover the years 1938-1947. It's a chapter of history few know of...except those who lived it.
