In this part of the ulmus.net website, I’ll advertise those items of my published work that are so recent you can still buy new copies somewhere. Generally, that means they’re too recent for the publishers to let me put them up on the web, so you won’t find them (yet) in the Virtual Library. I won’t be selling such items myself, but I’ll suggest where you can find them. (Maybe your local library has them already, or can order them upon request.) In addition to listing their titles, I’ll give you a brief description of each item, with sample quotations from some and a whole sample chapter from one. The main item listed here is Uncovering Lives, my magnum opus about psychobiography. But I also have chapters or entries in several currently-in-print books edited by other people, including the following:
“Sigmund Freud” (a brief biography in a reference work) “Literature and Psychology” (an encyclopedia entry) “Painwise in Space” (a psychobiographical comparison of two writers, Cordwainer Smith and James Tiptree, Jr. Soon you can click on the 'Chapters in Edited Books' link below to view information on each of these items. The latest item is: "Responsibilities," an autobiographical chapter in Between Fathers and Sons: Critical Incident Narratives in the Development of Men's Lives, edited by Robert J. Pellegrini and Theodore R. Sarbin. New York: Haworth Press, 2002, pp. 69-76. "The year is 1938; the season is fall; and the place is De Leon, Texas. De Leon is a town of a thousand people, with two blocks of stores and a movie theater on Lower Main Street. Out near the edge of town, on Sipe Springs Road, are Holdridge's Market and the Elms Garage. An old open-doored delivery van is just now backing away from Holdridge's, the best place for barbecue in De Leon. In the front of the van are a young man named Vernon and his even younger wife, Letona. They have been married for nearly a year. They don't use the van for any sort of business; it was cheap, and it moves. Letona is, as folks say around here, in the family way. In a few more weeks she'll give birth to their first child. Vernon glances at her anxiously as he straightens out the van and heads down Sipe Springs Road. . . . "
