I just googled my full name and it turns out I’m dead. Apparently I lived in New Jersey.

If I google the name I usually go by, apparently I work for several newspapers.

If somebody managed to sort though all the false positives and found the actual _me_, I’d ask them if they liked my book. Its amazon page is by far my largest internet presence under my real name.
