All four are available in Kindle versions on Amazon.com, and paperback versions are also at Amazon and Barnes & Noble online.

Over the years, I've had a career in journalism, politics, the corporate media world, and the Federal government. Now based in Guadalajara, Mexico -- home of one of the largest book festivals in the world -- I divide my time between Mexico and the USA.
