Please Note: Nine Lies is now officially out of print. I’m leaving this page up for now, just in case anyone wonders what’s up.

I am working on a new book of short stories that is, to some degree, a rewrite of Nine Lies. I am working on rewriting it because I think it can be better. I know this might seem crazy, but it makes sense to me to make something the best it can be.

I am not changing it very much. I am really only rewriting three of the stories. But I’m changing the story order and overall structure of the book. Also, I am going to add two or three stories to the whole thing. And I’m going to change the title from Nine Lies to something else, as of yet, undecided.

I don’t feel bad about doing this because my inclination comes from a sincere desire to improve the book, not to sell more. The eBook version of Nine Lies cost only as much as a coffee, and the eBook version of the new book will cost the same. I will also, hopefully, have a paperback version available (for the price of a paperback book) of the, as yet untitled, new book, which will hopefully be finished this year (2021). Thanks for reading.
