Books

Writing books is great fun. I have been doing so since 1990, and in recent years, I have also started publishing them. Indeed, since 2011, I have published a total of thirteen works so far. My portfolio spans three technical books, six novels, and four anthologies, including a short story, The Girl with the Flaxen Hair, which was nominated for the 2014 Sidewise Awards for Alternate History!

I am not restricted to any particular genre, although I prefer the classic science fiction & fantasy. However, my existing and future books span many categories, themes and styles, including first- and third-person narrative, alternate history, epic and high fantasy, space opera and urban science fiction, biblical, mythology, paranormal, horror, dystopian, military action, adventure, and others.

I currently have at least more six books (and possibly several more anthologies) planned for publication in the next five years. Stay tuned for updates.

Technical publications

The IT-related works include: 1) a thorough guide on how to setup the Apache web server 2) a book on kernel crash analysis; invaluable for any large, enterprise deployment running Linux 3) a comprehensive book on problem solving; the sum of my work experience, with immense volume of data and examples from large, mission-critical environments and strong focus on statistical engineering and the scientific method.
