Books to date

 

—————————

As at December 2009 I have published four books, two each of fiction and nonfiction. One of the fiction books was self-published; the other three books were all issued by regular publishers (with, in the case of the nonfiction books, different publishers for the paperback versions and translations). I have also published a spoken-language CD.

My fifth book has the title We Are Doomed: Reclaiming Conservative Pessimism. It will be published by Crown Forum on September 29, 2009.
