6 books, one shelf, zero ghostwriters

I have published 6 Kindle books under my own name. They cover the thing I keep coming back to: running a small business as one person, with AI doing the work. Each links straight to Amazon; the five-book Solo Operator Series also has its own pages here, where the direct DRM-free PDF edition is rolling out alongside Kindle.

// start from your problem

Which problem are you dealing with?

Pick the one that sounds like your week. Each link answers a single question in plain words and then shows which book goes further.

You run the business alone and it is too much

Too many tasks, income stuck, or a bigger competitor in the way.

You want AI to help, without it running you

Getting named by ChatGPT, handing real work to Claude, and knowing when not to trust it.

You want to think more clearly

Better decisions and sharper ideas, with the evidence checked.

Someone twists your words, or you and your partner keep fighting

What to say back, and how to talk again at home.

You are turning 65 or about to retire

Medicare and Social Security deadlines nobody mails you.

A 70th birthday gift, or gentle exercise in a chair

For someone born in 1957, and for moving safely after 65.

Your child needs the words, or your teen is about to turn 18

What a kid can say to stay safe, and what changes on an 18th birthday.
