Publications:
Our Founding Principles (currently in pre-publication) – A book from Kerodina Press in which I contributed a chapter.

My personal contribution was analyzing the modern day Committees of Correspondence (blogs, chat rooms, etc.) that organize the movement today.
Survival of the Smartest: The First 72 Hours is an electronic book written by myself in conjunction with Truth2America.com. It details preparedness for disasters both natural and man-made and how to prepare for them beforehand. It published May 2011 and is now also available in the Amazon Kindle Store.

I write for other websites on a more occasional basis and my articles are often widely spread throughout the Internet as well. Searching for my name will show you that I am literally all over the Web and have written on a huge number of subjects and in many outlets.

You will also find me on my own websites, which cover many topics – all of these sites are listed on the Aaron Meme page.
I ghost-write for many websites, blogs, and other venues on a contract basis. I am currently writing for two blogs focused on social networking and technology, am ghost-writing for a computer-technology magazine, and am writing a series of gardening articles under a pseudonym under a ghost contract for one of the largest organic gardening sites on the Web.
I am generally available for small projects and can usually schedule near-term or longer-term projects as well. Contact me for information. You’ll find that I am both reasonable and professional.
