Q: What is the Industrial Strength Press?

A: The Industrial Strength Press is a figment of my fevered imagination. It is my own personal publishing empire. So far I am its only author. If friends, family, casual acquaintances or complete strangers want help getting into print maybe the list will grow.

Q: List? What list??

A: For starters, "A Dangerous Job," is available as an e-book and a print-on-demand paperback.

Q: What's it about?

A: It's a paranoid left-wing mystery novel set in a shipyard.

Q: Are you a paranoid left-winger?

A: Why do you want to know? Who do you work for? Can I see some ID please?

Q: Are there other titles?

A: "The Gurry Room" and "The Printer's Apprentice" are available from Amazon and other vendors as an e-book. "The Jack," "The Mascot" and "I Walk My Dog Every Morning" are stories available as free downloads from Smashwords and other vendors but not Amazon. Other novels and stories will follow, the fates willing.

Q: Isn't a little bit schizo to be interviewing yourself like this?

A: I think being a little bit schizo is a common affliction among writers.

Q: Anything else you'd like to add?

A: Read and enjoy!
