About Me

I never can figure out why these things are written in the third person, Bob Dole-esque style. Do you really think your favorite author isn’t writing this him or herself? Given that, let me tell you a little about me.

I grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota. As a kid I had a knack for building cruise ships out of Legos (this coincided with my religiously watching The Love Boat every Saturday night). Okay, fast forward to my college years. I doubled-majored in journalism and political science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. From there I went to Georgetown University for law school. I then practiced corporate law for nine years. I knew I didn’t want to be a lawyer and spent much of those nine years trying to get out of law. I even owned a small clothing company that required me to dress in a moose costume to attract visitors to our kiosk at the Mall of America.

I started writing my first novel, I Will Faithfully Execute, while studying for the bar exam. It’s a political thriller that takes place inside a presidential campaign. It was published in 2000 and was awarded my publisher’s Book of the Year that same year. One great moment was when I received a letter from Bill Clinton, who had read the book.

My second book, but first non fiction one, The Fine Print of Self-Publishing: The Contracts & Services of 48 Major Self-Publishing Companies – Analyzed, Ranked & Exposed , was first published in 2004. It did so well that the second edition came out in July 2006 and is one of the best-selling books on self-publishing on Amazon.

In 2000, I co-founded Click Industries, Ltd., an ecommerce company that now has 30+ websites, all of which provide products and services to start-up businesses, writers, artists, and musicians.
