Step Zero: The Special Illustrated Edition for free, right here.

Right here, a free pdf download of my novel Step Zero: The Special Illustrated Edition.

Yep, I'm giving shit away.

Sometimes I have to do that for people to buy my other work, but in this case, I just want people to have this. I worked hard on this, and I think this is a pretty good book. Plus the hardbound book is way too expensive for most people to buy, and the paperback Step Zero edition doesn't have the groovy graphic pen images in it.

So here you are. All 688 pages of images and words. Hope you dig the book.

P.S. This is a hard R-rated book, with drug use, graphic sex and brutal murder. Just so you know. It also has sweet songs, funny lines and touching relationships. It's not all rough, but parts of it are.

Love y'all.

Stu.

Again, here's the free pdf download of the illustrated Step Zero novel.

The Extended Family Series wall pieces are now for sale!

Shipping is included in the sale price of all art work. I know they are pricey, but due to the odd shape of the boxes, shipping is expensive.

All pieces are signed, dated and titled. Some can be used as walking sticks but most are wall pieces that can be easily hung from a wall. These art pieces represents people who are important to me: traditional extended family members, close and not-so-close friends, and people I love and admire, both living and dead, fictional and real.

Just scroll through my site to see the work, or go to the Categories listed off to the left. Look for the group entitled 'Extended Family Series.'

I really want this work to find homes. I also hope to show these pieces in galleries and museums in the future, but that's up in the air right now, due to COVID and such. Mostly I want to sell and mail these to good people who will be happy to have them hanging in their homes.

In this post, I've put up a small sampling of the work. I've produced over a 100 of these guys. This is just to give you a taste.

Thanks, y'all, for your love and financial support. I appreciate you more than you know. You help put gas in my truck, food on our table and a roof over our heads. You really do.

And you also put a smile on my face. That ain't nothing either.

Love and light, Stu.

Mark and I have known each other for over 35 years, both of us members of one or more Secret Societies. You know, those 12 Step-py things we're not suppose to talk about in public. We have both been through a lot over the years, but we're still here, still alive, still pretty healthy, still "reasonably happy", as it says in the long version of the Serenity Prayer.

Mark is a pharmacist and is a big deal in his field in Arizona, even though he would probably not admit it. If you've ever called Arizona Poison Control during a personal emergency, it's a good chance his kind, knowing voice was on the other end of the phone.

We also both love baseball. When I was living in Arizona, Mark would take me, on his dime, to a Diamondback game or two each year, usually when they were playing the San Francisco Giants, in which I'm a fan. Mark, bless his heart, is a long suffering Detroit Tigers fan. I know. It's been a long time since the Tigers have won the Series.

I love and respect Mark a lot. I have three very close male friends in my life. Mark is one of them.

Lastly, we both agree that having the designated hitter in the American League is not a great idea and should be eliminated. Need to keep those pitchers honest, and wasn't it fun to watch Hall Of Fame pitcher Randy Johnson hit and pitch back in the day? It sure was.

Love you brother. Keep you lamp trimmed and burning, and give Vicky a hug for me.

And next time I'm in Tucson, let's get a couple of Sonoran hot dogs at Guero Canelo. It's on me.
