I have published eight books, two of fiction and six of nonfiction. One of the fiction books was self-published; two of the nonfiction books were published via the print-on-demand operation at the website VDARE.com; the other five books were all issued by regular publishers (with, for some of the nonfiction books, different publishers for the paperback versions and translations). I have also published a spoken-language CD.
