Update on Publications:

With the publication of my latest book Levitation's Defeat I have completed presenting the work that I have written over the last seventeen years of my life. Rather than keeping my work in storage just waiting to one day get published I have decided that self-publishing through Amazon's Create Space was a launching pad. Rather than being hidden away at least now someone like you may stumble onto my work and find value in the process. My books are in many words Biomythographies as Audre Lorde claims the term. Part of them are myth and part of them are biographies. My characters are not necessarily my own story but their lives and journeys parallel my own. Perhaps at times the genders, the races, the sexual identities differ from my own, but the directions and experiences here attempt to collect the human condition that individuals have been exposed to amongst this political and economic contemporary climate weathered within the first two decades of this new century.

Levitation's Defeat: An American in Mexico

Newest Book from Last Year's Life in Tehuacan, Mexico:

When one is asked to help strengthen an institition, this does not necessarily mean that the individuals involved are interested in making such changes. Miranda is an American teaching at a university in Mexico between 2016 and 2017. Her and Alex are United States Peace Corps Response volunteers in a cultural and professional exchange in the city of Tehuacan. Alex is a New Yorker with some highly interesting friends. Miranda's diverse identity as an adopted American from Russia with indigenous Buryat roots leads her to having to justify her choices in life while teaching responsibly. She learns the challenges that befall the higher educational system in Mexico and is willing to highlight the beauty of the culture and people that are being burdened by modern day politics.

The narrator is a character known as Miranda. She was chosen as a protagonist because several of my lesbian friends shared with me that they do not like to read novels any more because they cannot find protagonists that they can relate to. The author hopes this novel provides enough justice to inspire their voices.

Adjunct Lover

The Newest Book to be published by Michael Neiman is now available.

Synopsis:

The Adjunct Professor is a paradigm for the best and worst of the American education system; reflecting on the declining appreciation of teachers when universities care solely for more money at the top of the hierarchy, Eliot Mead is an adjunct looking to survive financially while to thrive in the classroom responsibly. Eliot shares his experiences and his mistakes inside and outside of the classroom. Perhaps through the use of shared experiences, readers can better understand the challenges that Adjunct Professors face teaching at multiple schools, debating on whether or not to participate in the teacher's union, finding the time and resources to effectively manage work and personal life; as well as, trying to anticipate annual salaries when course loads are never a given to effectively achieve Affordable Healthcare. There is not just one standard to follow. Eliot Mead will be as honest as possible in his confession even if it takes him down in the process.
