My ebooks and audiobooks (from @torbooks, @HoZ_Books, @mcsweeneys, and others) are for sale all over the net, but I sell & #39;em too, and when you buy & #39;em from me, I earn twice as much and you get books with no DRM and no license "agreements."

My first picture book is out! It& #39;s called Poesy the Monster Slayer and it& #39;s an epic tale of bedtime-refusal, toy-hacking and monster-hunting, illustrated by Matt Rockefeller. It& #39;s the monster book I dreamt of reading to my own daughter.
