Independent booksellers and shout-outs

I hope that I never get to a point in my writing and photography life where I no longer get excited to have my book show up on an indie bookseller’s shelf. This photo comes from my friend (and fellow writer) Michael J. Seidlinger who was visiting Powell’s in Portland, OR when he took this photo.

While I’m at it, I want to mention how lucky we are here in Columbus, OH that publisher (and friends) Two Dollar Radio will be opening their headquarters / bookshop + bar here in Old Town East. For ongoing information on that, check out: https://twodollarradio.com/

Finally, while I want you to pick up my work wherever or however you are able (including the links on this website), but if you’re fortunate enough to have a local bookseller you can support please buy it there, or ask them to order it up if they don’t have it in stock. If you’re in Ohio, a few places you can find copies include:

Eduardo Pavez Goye Book Review

One of my favorite YouTube creators is the Chilean playwright, author, musician and photographer Eduardo Pavez Goye. If you’re unfamiliar with him then I highly recommend that you subscribe to his channel when you visit the video below. A month or so ago I sent him a copy of If Only The Names Were Changed as a thank you for all of the amazing content he’s been putting out into the world. I was thrilled to find he’d given my book a very positive, brief review on his 2016 year-end video. While this video may not be his norm – they’re usually about photography instead of books – I love to hear what other writers are reading and really loved his list.

Besides the video, he sent me his first self-published book of photography titled A Parade of Strangers that has some poems and reflections in it from a project he undertook called 30 Rolls in 30 Days (you can click through to those videos as well). It is a beautiful piece of work and I hope he might consider a second pressing so that I can recommend you pick up a copy – as for now though, they’re all sold out.

So how about you, what are you reading these days?

Ploughshares reviews “If Only The Names Were Changed”

“The Beauty of Self-deprecation in Andrew Miller’s IF ONLY THE NAMES WERE CHANGED” reviewed by Nicole L. Reber

“Fasten your seat belts. Andrew Miller’s alternative lit style is about to take you on a bumpy ride. His memoir in essays, If Only the Names Were Changed, vacillates between hyper-masculine and tender in terrain that traverses parental concerns about raising a daughter, drug and alcohol abuse, and how much of a jerk he is.”
