Men of War is a book of essays, where fact is often intertwined with fiction.As a teen Bradley finds himself banished from a demolition derby team he founded, after an ill-advised test ride, all the while struggling with his life choices like whether to spend his nights in drag. You'll also find stories about: loss, a joke that Bradley doesn't understand, the afterlife, an amusement park injury, agoraphobia, a beloved toy set free, how the rich choose to spend their free time, and how drinking alcohol and the internet don't mix.

A Journey to the Middle: How I embraced mediocrity and failed to turn my old vacuum into a rocket ship is a book of essays. The stories range from the true to the absurd. Many are about coming of age and family, but the author also touches on mental illness, a car chase, a eulogy for someone still living, and bad drawings associated with a parts list for a home-built rocket ship. The author reflects on painful accounts from his childhood and juxtaposes that with building a craft out of cardboard to take down a ski slope.
