About
Melvin Brown.
When his younger daughter wanted to make a book, the easy default was paper and crayons. He took the long road instead: learning to publish, which became Cordelyn, an independent press. That choice is the doorway to the question behind Beyond Control.
He is a former U.S. Navy Fire Controlman.
He writes from Honolulu.

Raising Thinkers in an Age of Compliance
