In the mid-1990s, I wasn't happy with the accuracy of a lot of the pro-vegetarian literature, so I set about writing _Vegan: The New Ethics of Eating_, which was published in 1998. That same year, I began publishing the Vegan.com website, which today includes my daily blog plus a number of other resources.
In 2005, I came out with another vegan-oriented title, _Meat Market: Animals, Ethics, & Money_. This book involved a tremendous amount of research and has a more activist-oriented focus than my first book. Also, I decided I wanted to personally oversee every aspect of this book, so I self-published it and personally handled the book's typography, indexing, and printing/binding decisions.
In 2009, I self-published my third book on the topic, _The Ultimate Vegan Guide: Compassionate Living Without Sacrifice._ This book takes a breezier and more conversational approach to writing than I did in my first two books. My intention with this last book was to share what I've learned during 20+ years of vegan living, so that anyone can enjoy a quick, easy, and healthful transition. I released a second, updated edition of this book in 2011.
Also in 2011, I released: _A Vegan History: 1944-2010_ a short eBook that covers the major events occurring in the vegan movement since the word's coinage in 1944. It's my hope that readers of this book will gain perspective on how the movement's progress has constantly accelerated, as well as an understanding of the various projects and strategies that have proven most effective.
The focus of my work is to inspire people to become, not just vegan, but effective animal advocates. I believe it's within reach of all of us to keep hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of animals out of factory farms slaughterhouses.
I devote most of my time to updating Vegan.com. When I'm not busy with that I enjoy cooking, reading, NetFlix, and a variety of outdoor activities.
