The book is available in its entirity to download, no strings attached. If do you read it and enjoy it, however, consider purchasing a copy or making a donation. I'd suggest the eBook version is worth about $5. If you feel it's worth it and can donate anything at all, I appreciate it!
Thank you for your interest!

Universal Serendipity is a collection of essays and fiction, originally published on the web between 2007 and 2009. During this time, Ted Stoltz regularly published articles on his site, the Not A Blog (so named as a reaction against what he saw as an overuse of the word "blog"). The original site is no longer online, but the best essays and writing from that effort are collected in this book.
The essays cover a range of topics: humor & satire, futurism, philosophy, politics, and fiction. Unfortunately, all of this doesn't summarize very well into a nice, tidy paragraph. It helps to approach the book as a provocative look inside one rather overactive and diversely interested mind. This is a book of semi-random thoughts on dozens of subjects. It's a book of ideas.
Ted Stoltz is a multimedia producer living in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, whose main claim to internet fame is a picture he once posted online showing the first page of the Bible written in cat speak. He's rather mortified that this is how several million people know of him, and hopes that some day something else he does will eclipse that. In addition to writing, some of his other hobbies include drawing and painting, filmmaking, composing music, and riding his motorcycle. His more recent literary and artistic pursuits can be found on his current website:
