It’s official! And available in Ebook and Print at Amazon, Apple, Smashwords, Google, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Vivlio, Biblioteca, Baker & Talyor, Draft2Digital, etc. I think some 18 platforms in all. Or it will be. It’s out there, it’s just taking time.
SO WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?
Let me try to explain the existence of Murder-Chickens on Mars, and help people understand, if not appreciate, what this book is.
I am the son of a Mechanic. I grew up around cars, fixing flat tires, pumping gas, taking things apart and trying to put them back together. I was an okay mechanic, but not gifted. My father and brother were both very gifted. But I could do breaks and exhaust pipes, replace whatever needed replacing, taking breaks and engines apart and put them together. I’m also the grandson of a Carpenter, and along the way I learned to hammer a nail, lay a beam, bevel, mortice, measure and cut. And along the way, I had other experiences.
I have always been driven to examine, to understand, to try to figure out how things work. There’s an elegance to the way a machine or a body works, to the precision gears of a clock or a social system, the intricacies and harmonies. My world is one of blood and chaos. And perhaps because of that, I’m desperate to understand to make sense of things.
I’m fascinated by the overlooked, by the hidden corners, all the stuff we take for granted. I think I was a journalist once, because of that. And a teacher. And a historian. This world of randomness and horror, I want to unravel it, perhaps to find a way to to make it less random and less horrific.
