Writing for fun and profit

I like to write. That’s why this website is here. But I’ve also written fiction, songs, a play, and a couple of technical books.

Publishing is harder than writing, I find. My first book, Electronic CAD Frameworks, was published by Kluwer—now Springer—(it’s out of print now, alas). Since then I’ve used lulu.com , which offers an easy interface to self-publishing, and it’s free to publish (although you pay for the books).

Here are some links to books I’ve written:

• Electronic CAD Frameworks .— this book describes the core technologies involved in electronic design software that provide databases, user interfaces, tool interaction and more.
• The Art of Flows — a discussion of techniques for managing complex sequences of programs required for software and silicon development.
• Ollie’s New Beginning — a children’s story, written for (and to some degree with) my younger son.
• Rock, Paper, Scissors — a play about the war in Afghanistan, developed into an opera by Michael Sanie.
