Please Help Me Get My New Book Done!

 

I am never comfortable asking for money. However, I am doing exactly that this one time. Please click on the link below for a description of my current book project. There is a Contribute btton there, as well. In case, you are wondering--I have a written agreement with a publisher and have already written around 15,000 words of the book.

Thanks for your time and support.

New Collection titled Living the American Nightmare--New edition

Living the American Nightmare

The content is the same, but the book is set up more formally.

This is just a small collection of some of my essays and articles published on Counterpunch since January 2019. It is currently only available on Amazon, but should be available via other distributors in a week or so.
