Today is the first day that my new short story collection, “Ennui & Other States of Madness” is available for preorder. I’m happy to say this one will be for sale in three states, and one of them is an affordable trade paperback! This is a massive collection, over 120,000 words of fiction, including a brand new novella and a couple of previously unpublished stories. The cover art is by the talented Mr. Don Paresi - the introduction was written by Brian Hodge. I’m thrilled to have this one coming out…it is (by request of the publisher) a “definitive” collection, spanning many years, many styles…and many words. You can pre-order this by clicking on the cover image!
