Thanks for stopping by! This article has had nearly 2,000 views in its nearly 8 years on Dead Men Blogging. In October 2024, I rewrote it for Books Are Our Superpower.


If you'd like to learn more about my work, I've published books. Also, I write for Medium. There, readers with a paid membership don't have to worry about the paywall.
