The Complete Collection is here!
John’s first book, The Complete Collection of people, places & things, is now out and available for purchase on Amazon and Small Press Distribution (SPD). I encourage you to purchase it from SPD, as they give more back to authors than Amazon (although the sale price is $1 higher). John wrote the book a few years ago, mostly while we were living in Tokyo. It’s not at all about Japan but I think was, in some ways, inspired by his experience there. A press release gives more details about the book and publisher. It’s an unusual novel that made me feel melancholy, nostalgia, confusion and delight each time I read it (a few times, since I helped John edit). It also looks really beautiful, with a cover designed by John himself. Congratulations! I am so proud.

I got _The Complete Collection_ late last week and have been hitting it as often as possible in the ten minutes between getting in bed and reaching full REM-level sleep…. I really like it so far and have found the tale of the crash helmet especially haunting (it required an immediate re-read). Regards to John — Cornelia
