Besides the books featured on this site, I have a number of others, and those are easy to find at most online vendors-- as well as your local independent bookstore. My own is Beaverdale Books (https://www.beaverdalebooks.com), a great Des Moines place, and I always enjoy showing it to others. I'll happily personalize one of my titles for you. 

Three of my fictions have been translated to Italian, as well, and they got a good reception, even picking up an award. In late summer '24, I enjoyed a small tour of Italy, doing what I could for the translation of my 2003 novel, Talking Heads: 77.  

Currently, I'm working on a new novel and pulling together a new selection of criticism, Caliban's Cry: A Literature Unhoused. Here are two pertinent samples, an essay and a review:
