Tales from the New (and Not-So-New) Economy

This week I am featured on the Chronicle of Higher Ed’s How I Get By series. I kvetch about adjunct life and my hellish commute in Los Angeles. And yet today in New York City, as I was pelted by freezing rain, I was thinking that LA really wasn’t so bad.
Regardless I thought it would be a good time to remind everybody about my novellas. Adjunctivitis is a “laugh-out-loud funny” story of an adjunct in LA (of course it’s not in the least bit autobiographical). And False Economies is the story of a young American chasing a girl way out of his league in Thatcher’s London (not the least bit autobiographical either).
I have to add that I had a great experience working with Amazon. Their editors actually edited (and copyedited!), which is astonishing these days, and their cover designers did a stellar job.
HOW TO BUY MY STORIES, WHICH WILL MAKE YOU WEEP WITH LAUGHTER AND SIGH ABOUT THE MADNESS THAT IS LIFE:
Adjunctivitis is available for $2.99 as an Amazon Kindle Single. (£1.99 in the UK).
False Economies is available for $2.99 from Amazon as well. (£1.99 in the UK).
HOW TO BUY THEM FOR A FRIEND, BECAUSE I CAN TELL THAT YOU’RE A GENEROUS SOUL:
Look for the button on the right that says “Give as a Gift.”
HOW TO READ THEM IF YOU DON’T HAVE A KINDLE DEVICE, SO I DON’T WANT TO HEAR ANY EXCUSES:
If you or your friend(s) don’t have a Kindle, you can get FREE apps to read Kindle e-books on your Mac, PC, tablet or smart phone here.
I can relate to your “How I Get By” article. I was just in Orange County for a year as an adjunct until my wife lost her “real” job. We came back to Philadelphia; yes, the weather this winter makes just getting by in socal seem like the better option. It’s too bad too because I really liked the students there. Good luck with “Adjunctivitis.” BB
Thank you Ben! Good luck to you in Philadelphia.
