These are what I call my SHIPS (Secrets Hidden In Plain Sight) nonfiction works including EXOGRAVITATION, a new twist in cosmology; SATOR ENIGMA, ancient Roman cryptogram finally solved; and at least two more History works coming soon.

Readers often tell me they start reading my work and simply cannot stop. One of the most hilarious stories happened when I took my suspense thriller Neon Blue to a copy shop years ago. When I came back next day, there was the original plus the copy on the counter. The lady told me: "I hate you!" I must have looked stunned. She told me: "I was making copies by hand, one page at a time, and started reading. I couldn't stop, and took it home. I stayed up all night reading, and I'm dead tired today. I hate you." She paused a second, then added: "Do you have another one? I can't wait to start reading more of your work!" That's a true story. That sort of thing has happened to me many times. Maybe you'll be the next tired but un/happy reader.
Back in 1996 when I launched the first true online HTML novels (proprietary, not public domain; online, not on portable media e.g. floppies; see full "criteria), I had avid readers e-mailing me praises from all around the world. Today, I am already reaching far more readers all around the world with this new project. Please remember: all of it is copyright registered intellectual property. Tell your friends, post links online that will help SEO, and if you like a story, why not reward the author & buy a copy (a cuppa?) for the price of a latte. Many thanks—happy reading!

Over a quarter century+, Clocktower Books has dabbled in cool experimental areas, like releasing a handful of steamy, tasteful literary erotica novels by our authors. Here's a Bookstore Metaphor link.
