Hi, I’m Tristan. I’m an American publisher currently living in Mexico.
My stuff
I’m the founder of Osmosio, the place to learn about digital publishing. I host the Digital Publishing Podcast. I’ve written and published 39 Kindle books, including ones about rock climbing, blogging, blogging (again), and Chrome extensions. I started and run fkb.me, the best place to go if you want free Kindle books every day. I started Travel Knowledge Database, the site that attempts to sort the world’s travel knowledge.
For fun I’ve written books about things like poetry, zombies, Spanish cognates, and vegetarian tyrannosaurus rexes.
Some of my other fun side projects include Gripped, Random Conference Talk, @JustShowHN, and TradClimbingVideos.com.
My personal blog is The Aloof, and I post photos to Flickr.
Me
I was born in California and have lived in 6 countries (US, New Zealand, Kazakhstan, China, Ukraine, Mexico). I speak 3 languages (English, Russian, Ukrainian) and am working on Spanish. I have a degree in linguistics from BYU.
I’m an avid rock climber and have established over 200 new climbs, including the second-longest sport climb in the United States. I’ve been in Climbing Magazine twice.
I’m currently in Cozumel, Mexico.
