I Got A Book Deal!
🎉 🥳 🤯 📚 I GOT A BOOK DEAL! 📚 🤯 🥳 🎉
I sold my book to Wiley. It's real. It's happening. I'm going to be a published author, a moment thirty years in the making.
(SIDEBAR: The last time I tried this, the deal fell apart. So I threw it out, rewrote everything, and came back stronger, older, creakier, angrier, and with better fonts and a new style guide.)
What I've got now is beyond just a book. It's a core memory. It's an ecosystem. It's MY ecosystem.
It's the "WTF do I do when I enter the 'Shit Happens Store'" cheat code/welcome mat we wished we had. (hashtag#WelcomeMat)
We The Patients is a field guide for the medically mugged.
• It is for every patient wishing not to die on hold.
• It is for every family that went broke just trying to live.
• It is for every loved one lost to a denied claim.
• This book does not exist to raise awareness.
• This book is not waiting for permission.
You see, it is no longer about *fixing* the system; it's about *gaming* the system in favor of the American consumer (who happens to be a patient when the world goes all Charlie Brown teacher).
I want this in your hands before ASCO 2026 in Chicago.
I want it in hospital lobbies, on nightstands, in back pockets, on phones and tablets, and inside every "What now?" Google search after someone hears the word cancer, rare disease, or general healthcare fuckery of all shapes and sizes.
The brand promise? Permission to be pissed with a prescription to pay it forward to make healthcare suck less.
We have the right to a healthcare system designed to help, not harm, and there's untapped potential energy in our collective stories that have yet to be truly unleashed. It's time to throw a punch with purpose and kickstart the next great patient rights movement.
We, the survivors.
We, the caregivers.
We, the parents.
We, the veterans.
We, the grieving.
We, the people.
‼️ WE, THE PATIENTS ‼️
Buckle up—this one's worth the wait.
📆 PUB DATE: June 2026 📆
