Hi Angela, thanks for your interest.
Neither book is available yet. My first one, Hold the Apocalypse, Pass Me a Scientist Please will be out on Amazon probably in early October. If you follow my website, I’ll be notifying people there when it does become available.
The next one, The Carousel of Beliefs will be sometime next year.
Take care.

Just read about you in the URI Magazine and I’m going to check out your website to find your book. Did you live on the 2nd (or was it 3rd) floor of Fayerweather Hall while in college? Since it’s Halloween, do you remember a bunch of us dressed as Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts?

Hi Linda, great to hear from you!
I don’t remember which floor we lived on, or dressing as scouts, but I do seem to remember dressing as a girl, along with Ed Wachowicz, and I think you helped with the accoutrements. So if anyone was traumatized, it’s partially you’re fault. URI sure seems like a lifetime ago now. Well I guess it was.
You were originally from West Virginia, right?
Hope you’re doing well.
And I hope you like the book.
Best, Bob
