I was a professional software engineer for most of my life, but I've always loved writing. At 44, I decided I hate income, and moved to writing fulltime.

==Fiction==

* [[Midnight's Simulacra|midnight's simulacra]], my first novel

* [[INFERNAL COLUMNS]], coming soon

==Modern UNIX Programming==

* An update to Stevens+Rago ''(update 2016: there's a recent 3rd edition of APIUE, so maybe this is handled)''

Line 26:

Line 32:

==Nascent Fiction==

* ''Maximum Scrunch'', a novel

** the title comes from Hans Bethe's ''Road from Los Alamos'', referring to the conditions at which implosion turns to explosion in a supernova's core collapse

* The Annotated ''[http://www.amazon.com/The-Illuminatus-Trilogy-Pyramid-Leviathan/dp/0440539811 Illuminatus!]''

** someone might [http://www.rawillumination.net/2011/09/proposal-for-illuminatus-reference-book.html already] be doing this

* The Annotated ''[[Southland Tales]]''

==Notes on publishing with Amazon==

I've successfully published on Amazon using [[LaTeX]].

For making [[EPUB]], I recommend [https://sigil-ebook.com/ sigil], in conjunction with a lot of handwork.

===Margins===

* Inner margins (that margin next to the binding): .375--1in, depending on page count

* Outer margins: minimum .25in, recommended .5in
