Years ago, Nomadic Delirium Press published a book of mine entitled Manic Musings of a Maniacal Mind. This massive book featured every short story I had published up to that point. Later, I broke the collection down into six story collections that were available very briefly through Kindle Unlimited. Now that I'm no longer distributing through Amazon, I'm re-releasing all of the e-books, with the first one coming out on January 6th. Eight more volumes will follow, each being published in one week intervals following the first release. Each volume will feature six stories (seven for the last two), and will only be $2. You can pre-order the first volume at https://books2read.com/u/mVp9l5
At a later date, I'll post the pre-order links for all of the volumes, but this should hold you over for now.
Back when I was using Amazon as my distributor, I created a collection of eight of my stories that I made available through Kindle Unlimited. Now that I'm no longer using Amazon, you can now find this title almost everywhere else...except Amazon. Check it out at https://books2read.com/u/3R2eYj
For more than a quarter of a century, J Alan Erwine has been subjecting his readers to the twists and turns of his off-kilter mind, now you can download eight stories that cover the span of his career, highlighting a variety of his story styles.
My bestselling title for December 2025 was my latest novel, Slave to the Stars: https://books2read.com/u/3Gg068
Tilmath was born a slave, but she was no ordinary slave. Unlike most humans, she was an Espari, a human capable of sensing the emotions of other beings.
Now, having escaped from her slave masters, the teenager finds herself on the run and about to meet some of the most interesting creatures she could ever imagine, and go on an adventure that she could never dream of. Using her poorly trained empathic senses, she tries to do everything she can to survive, but quickly learns that survival isn't the most important thing for a slave girl escaping to the stars.

We’re having an end of the year blowout sale at DriveThruRPG. You can pick up RPG titles, novels, short story collections, novelettes, even short stories, and they’re all available at half price, but only for the rest of the year…which isn’t that much longer…https://legacy.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/2805/
Imagine it’s the 19th century, and the colonization/conquest of the Americas is underway yet again, only this time, magic is real, and the Indians have a lot more of it than the colonists. This is the world of The Battle for Turtle Island: Pueblo Wars.
In Buffalo Wars, we introduced you to the Plains Indians. Now you can incorporate the Indians of the Southwest into your game. This book, like its predecessor, is a combination of the core rules and the special rules for Pueblo Wars.
This book contains character classes, the special abilities of the various Indian nations, the goods, the spells, and so much more. The only other things you’ll need to play are your dice and a vivid imagination.

If you're shopping for the print versions of my books, you may notice the prices going up over the next couple of weeks. For years, I've used Kindle Direct as my print source, but due to ongoing problems with them, I'm moving my books to a new printer, and unfortunately, this means higher prices for you, the reader.
I'm only somewhat reluctant to leave KDP. Although they do make printing books cheaper, and it means automatic listings on Amazon, it also means dealing with Amazon, and I'm kind of tired of lining Bezos' pockets. You see, for most of my titles, I actually make more when readers buy somewhere other than Amazon. They tend to take a much bigger chunk of change out of each sale, and to be blunt, my family and I really need the money right now, so I'm only somewhat reluctant to make the change.
My books will still be available, although possibly not on Amazon, since they try to monopolize everything, but they're still out there, you just might have to look a little harder.
From the Nomadic Delirium Press Blog:
Way back in 2012, we released The Battle for Turtle Island: Buffalo Wars, an historical fantasy RPG about the "colonization" of the Americas, only this time, magic is real!
Now, we bring you Pueblo Wars, the continuation of the game. You fought your battles on the Plains, now head to the Southwest and see what a new group of Indian nations brings to the game. Available on Dec. 18th, but you can pre-order today at https://books2read.com/u/mqAQD6.
Not the greatest November for sales, but some signs that things may be looking up. My bestseller for November 2025 was my new RPG supplement, The Wastelands: A Divided States of America RPG supplement. You can download it today at https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/545786/
Thanksgiving has come and gone. Since my wife had to work that day, I spent the day working at home, and what did I do? Well, of course I started work on a brand new RPG. This one, I think, is going to be quite a bit different than the previous four I've created. I took inspiration for this one from a Tik-Tok dragon puppeteer. We had originally talked about doing a card game, and we still might, but for now, it looks like there will be a new RPG. I can't say much about it at the moment, other than to say that it will have dragons...obviously...
Don't worry, I will still be working on new titles for The Divided States of America, Ephemeris 2.0, Rocks on the Other Side, and Battle for Turtle Island RPGs. In fact, there should be a new supplement for the Battle for Turtle Island out very soon. This one will be called "Pueblo Wars." Keep an eye on this page for more information.
