NOTE: The new book, Electronic Surveillance and Wireless Network Hacking, was released on
01 May 2005 by Paladin Press and is available directly from them. As well as the latest on
electronic spying, this book is about setting up your own wireless network and keeping it secure from hackers. Written for those who know little if anything about WiFi, these chapters will get
you up and running, and may well save you a great deal of time and money. Additional chapters include photo-essays of real life surveillance installations, pictures from the
filming of Enemy of the State, the 'Nutz' file and much more. As there was not space in the book for all of the pictures and screenshots, these wil be posted on the book's web site, www.fusionsites.com/dbm2.

Don't Bug Me: The Latest Hi-Tech Spy Methods My first book, originally produced in small quantities- photocopied and spiral bound, for a local Spy Shop. The
following year, it was sold to Paladin Press and became one of their best sellers. Five years later, it is selling better
than ever. Don't Bug Me is an overview of electronic surveillance methods, and self defense against them, and
while it is five years old, the information is still useful as the principles of surveillance don't change. Some areas covered include:
Surveillance transmitters
Video cameras Directional microphones Telephone taps Inside microphones Laser systems Microwave devices
Also in Don't Bug Me is information about setting up the listening post, making your home and office secure against electronic spying, and, as in my other books, a few humorous stories that make it more
interesting to read.
Don't Bug Me is 8 1/2 x 11 paperback, 140 pages illustrated, ISBN 0-87364-658-4. It contains charts and tables, frequency lists, and photographs. From Paladin Press.

Never Published:
In The Name of Freedom 1985, an expose of L. Ron Hubbard and scientology. Was to be published by Columbia University Press, and while
thoroughly documented, they declined under threats of massive lawsuits. The original manuscript no longer exists.
A condensed version was made public but it, also, is no longer extant. On the Usenet group alt.religion.scientology,
now and then references are made to this document. Other books have been written that used my research, without credit where due, claiming it to be that of the author. It is called plagarism.
