I have been teaching at the community college and university levels as an adjunct instructor in philosophy for twenty years. I have a previous life as a USMC Vietnam Veteran and a career in law enforcement. I saw a need to reduce the price of college texts and believe I have created a win/win scenario with textbooks that closely matches what can reasonably be covered in the classroom during the course of a single semester. I have worked to breathe real life into the various themes that have concerned philosophers since the times of the early Greeks. I was also inspired by the new world of self-publishing to write a novel that explored philosophy in a highly fictionalized setting.
