Purchase the book:
As of July 2021, The Road To Nowhere is finally released! It’s taken a while to sort this out, but the company I have used to print these have done a fantastic job and I’m proud to have an actual real human book to show for my efforts.
You can buy it directly from me in print form (see below), or from any number of your favourite online bookstores – including Indie Bound, Amazon, Barnes & Noble and, well, too many to list here really. There are some links above. It is also available as an eBook.
Thanks to the wonders of the global capitalist economy and international postal services, the likes of Amazon can actually sell it cheaper than I can sell it, even if I just price it to break even. That makes no sense at all, but life often doesn’t. I try not to think about it. Although I did rant about it a bit here.
So the only selling point I can really offer you for buying a hard copy directly from me is that I’ll sign the book for you and imbue it with much love. Also, you won’t be funding Jeff Bezos’s next trip into space. Rather, you’ll be funding my wine expenses.
