Ray, Hi. Were you the one who made the Wikipedia entry in the first place? One day it wasn’t there, and the next it was. If so, thanks! If not, thanks for doing the update.

Anyway, I can provide any information you would like. Paragon Press is my own imprint. Long story, but I used this before I had any e-books and just kept it. Too long and convoluted of a story really, so I would just not get into Paragon Press (or link it), but your choice. I just went on my Wikipedia page and noticed that Split Second and BrainWeb are listed as being published by CreateSpace. Actually, these are also under Paragon Press (or should be 😊 )– and all of my books are available as paperbacks through CreateSpace). All of my novels now have Audible editions also, including the Prometheus Project trilogy (but with the exception of the other three kids books)

I published The Cure with Tor/Forge, and imprint of Macmillan. This was my third novel, and they put it out as a hardcover and later as a mass market paperback. All of the others I’ve put out myself through Paragon Press. Audible now does all of my novels in audiobook form, as I said. I have books translated into Russian, Chinese, German, Italian, Czech, and Korean, with a few more deals expected to close soon (Random house Germany is putting out Split Second in German, a Russian publisher (I forget the name) is putting out Mind’s Eye, the fourth in Russian, and Polish and Vietnamese publishers will be putting out a book in these languages. I can be more specific if this might be useful.

One other possible point of interest, Split Second is currently the 17th bestselling book of any kind for the first 8 months of 2017. Here is a link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/2017/digital-text/154606011/ref=zg_bsar_cal_ye

Here is a list of my books that I include at the end of their descriptions, organizing them between adult vs middle grade rather than by year published.

Thanks again for your help. I’d update the page, but I don’t really know how. (I write high tech books, but I’m a low tech guy 😊

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

All the best,

Doug
