Macron the Philistine10/26/2021 Great thinkers in our time have suggested that our most heartfelt and enduring literature is that which we write for children. I aim to disprove that, posthaste.
Get ready for "Daddy's Disappointing Bedtime Stories," a series that launches with volume one, "Macron the Philistine," now out in paperback this week. These are fractured-fairy-tale, so-bad-they're-good deconstructions of classical storytelling. I hope to put out two to three of these per year, interspersed among my fantasy and science fiction novels for adults. They'd go much faster, except I'm illustrating them myself until they gain an audience and support a production budget. This particular story turns on a truck driver in Paris who takes on the hipsters gentrifying his blue-collar neighborhood. My favorite thing about this publication, besides the fact my daughter loved it enough to make her own drawings when she was little, is that after publication Amazon automatically sorted the e-pub by genre into a category called Children and Facts of Life. Facts of life? Anyway, you can find it here. Enjoy!
