Two New Titles for 2022

This year I published two new books:

"On Self-Reliance, Self-Esteem, and Intellectual Honesty," which is sort of a philosophy self-help book, and

"Love Without Labels," which is a very LGBTQ Pride sort of book, mainly of interest to people questioning their gender identity or sexual orientation.

Happy Reading!

On Free Will and Self-Esteem: The Philosopher’s Lament

  On Free Will and Self-Esteem: The Philosopher’s Lament People with low self-esteem generally feel like “I’m not good enough.” And philosophy would ask: Why? What does that mean? Good enough according to whose judgment? Judged by what standards? For what reason? For what purpose? And according to what foundational premises? And, I think, (and I speak from personal experience), the premise is a faulty understanding, a misunderstanding, of the nature of free will. But the truth about free will is, in a way, very, very sad, so people don’t want to face the truth. But this short essay states that truth. And this truth, in a way, holds a great deal of wisdom.

Author Update! October 2025

 Hello friends, I am currently hard at work on book one of my upcoming epic high fantasy trilogy. I have written 70,000 words, which I estimate is about halfway done, more or less. This one is going well. It resembles The Crystal of Light in a lot of ways but set in a different fantasy universe. But, whereas The Crystal of Light was a standalone novel, this one I'm working on now is a true series starter, which won't tell a complete story until the trilogy is complete, but which begins the story in what is shaping up to be a compelling way. I am going to take my shot and try to get this one tradpubed, because I believe it is going to be good enough to belong on bookstore shelves. If I don't get any nibbles on the fishhook for an agent or publisher, then I would indiepub it. I won't say "as a last resort," because there's nothing wrong with indiepub, but for this one, I am resolved to only indiepub if I try my best and tradpub passes on it. Interesting pizz...

My new author website... You're looking at it

 So, my "new" author website ran into some technical difficulties, so I have redirected RussellHasan.com to my blog... namely, here. If that's where you're joining me from for the first time, welcome! This is my blog. I blog about being an author, and it's also a food blog. I was a vegetarian for a year and blogged about that, and now I blog about pizza. Thanks for reading!
