I've had a little success with two books collecting some of my blog posts so now I'm trying actively to turn my blog writing into longer-form work suitable for book publication. I'm currently working on three series of blog posts simultaneously, all of which I hope to turn into books.

The first, How We Know What We Know is on a lot of the things people talk about on here, trying to explain Bayes' theorem, Kolmogrov Complexity and the scientific method to a lay audience. I'm doing this because a lot of my blog readers, especially those who enjoyed my book "Sci-Ence! Justice Leak!" (which tackled the same things more obliquely, examining comics and Doctor Who to make complementary points), are interested in this material but don't have any idea where to start.

The second, Cerebus reviewed part zero and part one, is a discussion of the 300-issue comic-book series Cerebus. I'm doing this because I consider Cerebus a great work of art, but one overshadowed by its creator's serious mental illness.

And the third, and most advanced, is a track-by-track review of every legitimately available Beach Boys song (top five results on that page). I'm doing this because there's no book available that covers the Beach Boys' whole career from a musical, rather than biographical, point of view, odd as that may sound.

I'm also writing a novel, but that's not online.

My goal with these generically is to try to earn enough money from the writing I would be doing anyway (these are all the kind of things I would be posting to my blog anyway, just organised better) to be able to quit my job and work primarily as a writer, with some time over for research, programming and music.
