Why not in bookstores?

The reason is simple: total amount of money I will spend until the end of 2023 sums up to USD $20000. There is no publisher willing to compensate shese expenses. On the other hand, usual royality for one copy sold is c. 20-30 NT$. A traditional marketing way is simply not a good choice for this book.

About me

Up until September 2023 I have written 12 books. Ten are published and two are waiting the right time (September 2023, Christmas 2023). The book about Taiwan, as it is 100% complete at this moment, counts as number 9. It was already distributed to selected persons in Poland. The reason for delay is that I decided to take more bautiful photos during the summer of 2023.

Below you will see covers for my books presently available and scheduled for market before end of 2023. Until the end of 2023 it will be 13 books. Until the end of 2024, I will publish four more books. HOVER: see the English and Chinese titles. HOVER: see title in English CLICK: see a brief summary, samples and a 'look inside' of some pages.


Hint #1: Hover on the cover to see a basic description: 1st publication year, title, content summary.

Hint #2: Click the cover image to see sample pages as JPG images (in a new tab).


In 2021 Poland's National Fire Service asked me to write an article on Taiwan's Firefighters. Thanks to extremely great attitude of Taiwan's Ministry of Interior I wrote the piece linked below (English language translation). Enjoy:
