Coming Attractions

Something Is About to Happen

In about a week, the paperback and eBook versions of Press The Button will quietly enter the world.

I say “quietly” because I’m not renting a blimp.
But they’re coming.

If you’ve been following along, you know this started as an audiobook experiment. A small, compact, slightly unhinged idea about modern life, attention spans, buttons we should press, and why some business models are basically emotional blackmail with a subscription.

Now it’s in print.
You can hold it.
You can underline it.

The audio version will take a while longer.

You can give the book as a gift to someone who already has too many mugs. And it makes a fantastic birthday card replacement. It's PG-13 Rated.

Would I love it if people bought it?
Of course.

Would I survive if you didn’t?
Yes. But buy it, you're going to laugh.


Meanwhile, In A Darker Room

…While Press The Button is stretching and getting ready for daylight, I’ve been deep inside the next JR Johnson novel.

And when I say “deep,” I mean I occasionally look up and don’t remember what day it is.

JR is back.
Toni Anne is back.
Gabrielle is back.
Barbara Jean is back
Wishbone is back.

The stakes are high enough that even I’m a little uncomfortable.

This one is leaner. Sharper. Less me trying to be Tom Clancy and more me trying to be… well… dangerous.

That’s where most of my energy is going right now.

Comedy is fun.
But JR is where the knives are.


Mark Your Calendar (Or Don’t, I’ll Remind You)

The formal announcement for Press The Button will go out on March 7th.

That’s when I’ll do the full, proper, civilized rollout instead of this casual “by the way, here’s a book” whisper campaign.

Then on March 7th, we press the button.

Here's the back cover text:
