My ebooks and audiobooks (from Tor Books, Head of Zeus, McSweeneys, Beacon, Verso and others) are for sale all over the net, but I sell 'em too, and when you buy 'em from me, I earn twice as much and you get books with no DRM and no license "agreements."

in reply to Cory Doctorow • • •Thank you for stopping by our little community. It is inspiring to hear how others recognize and process the events of our time.
Makes me hopeful that action at community levels, both in person and digital, can continue to grow and impart positive change at a larger scale.

You never steer us wrong, always surprisingly interesting books these turn out to be (for me at least).
