I wrote the Modern Depression Guidebook a long while ago and, truth be told, I'm not as much a depression sufferer now as I was then.  Now my depression is mitigated as a side-effect of Paxil use which I take because I'm seeing a strict Orwellian Therapist who medicates me against political outrage.  (When my wife first heard me say that, she said, "Shouldn't that be 'Huxlian?'" I knew immediately that she was right, but I felt Orwellian was more accessible and, frankly, the medication prevents me from caring too much about the details)

In any case, I wrote the thing a long time ago and shopped it a few times to publishers.  I was told that there wasn't much of a market for it.  Then I stumbled onto Autharium.  They make e-publishing really easy and pay a decent royalty so, once I'd ascertained that I'd retain the right to legacy-publish if an offer came my way, I uploaded for sale.

The thing's been in the top 100 sellers on the amazon/kindle humor list for more than a week now.  Sometimes it's been in the top ten.  I have no idea what that means in terms of real sales yet, except this: there's more of a market for this goofy little bit of writing than legacy publishers believed.  It's made me pretty damn happy for the last couple of weeks.  Who know a literary exploration of depression would do so much to cheer me up?

You can order the book as a .pdf or as an online file to read on any computer at Autharium or you can order it for Kindle at Amazon.com.
