Did you know that I grew up in Louisville, Kentucky? Here\u2019s a new oil-painting I did, kind of a parodistic self-image riff, it\u2019s called \u201cLouisville Artist.\u201d\u009d And the woman? Well, she might be my muse, or my wife, or a Japanese-Californian wetware engineer character from the next novel I hope to write.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s me on the right of course. Shirt all untucked and with no fingers on my hands, I\u2019m here to buttonhole you, urging you to buy a copy of my new novel Turing & Burroughs<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve knocked the price of the ebook down to $3.95, and we\u2019ve got paperback editions for less than $16 at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.<\/p>\n

Still unsure? I\u2019ve got some background info on the book\u2019s home page<\/a>, including a Locus Online <\/em>review by Paul De Filippo.<\/p>\n

And you can browse the whole book as a web page<\/a>!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m looking for readers here, minds to feed, souls to win. So I\u2019ve even got a whole range of free downloadable Creative Commons licensed editions<\/a>. Read the whole darn thing for free, if you want.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019d be nice if you\u2019d buy a version.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The book’s a lot of gnarly fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
