About Anarchic Candy

Here is a link to the essay in which I talk about why I made the decision to give away the majority of my novels for free.

I fundamentally don’t believe in the publishing industry as it stands. I don’t want to have to leverage my ethnicity, sexuality, or disabilities in order to sell books. I do not want to participate in an ecologically unsound sales model when I spend a lot of my time trying to produce as little waste as possible. I don’t want to promote myself endlessly when my wife and I work very hard to ensure that our podcast is free for everyone, as accessible as possible, and always, always without ads. I believe in community, in an experiential existence, in the availability of art, in anarchising historically hierarchical systems. I believe in making art for more reasons than simply making as much money as possible. And I believe in putting my own money where my mouth is. So here we are.

What you can do with these books:

• Download them as many times as you like.

• Print them out.

• Share them.

• Translate them into any language.

• Turn them into not-for-profit art pieces, screenplays, short movies, audiobooks, podcasts, or any other unpaid creative venture, as long as proper credit is given.

What you can’t do with these books:

• Plagiarise them, or from them.

• Any venture in which money changes hands. No selling fan art, no charging for anything that contains my words, characters, or plotlines.

Please let me know if you read and enjoy my stories. Please do review the books, if you want to. Please tell me if there’s more I can do to make these stories accessible.
