In 1982, I wrote my first book, and I went on to write two dozen more. All of these were put out by large publishing houses, but all of them were non-fiction works about computers and trading. Now, I have finished my first novel, Solid State, but instead of going about the normal route, I am going to publish it myself on Substack, releasing one (short!) chapter every weekday starting on September 16th and running until the end of 2024. I hope you will subscribe and enjoy it, as there will be no charge for doing so. I look forward to hearing what you think!
