For more than two decades he traveled the globe searching for inspiration for his writing, including fighting professionally in Muay Thai bouts in Thailand, living with an Indian tribe deep in the Amazon, hang gliding throughout Central America, and bicycling across the United States and Canada. While writing on the road, he dreamed up a new publishing model where author and publisher work closely together to bring the best possible books to market. In 2006 he created Victory Belt Publishing and applied this model, which quickly led to a host of runaway \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e and international bestsellers. After more than fifteen years as president and publisher of Victory Belt, Krauss took a step back in 2020 to revisit his passion--writing fiction. Drawing from his world travels as well as the current global health crisis, he wrote \u003ci\u003ePrimitives, \u003c\/i\u003e a post-apocalyptic thriller in the vein of two of his favorite novels, \u003ci\u003eWorld War\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eZ \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Road.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 424\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.6 x 8.7 x 6.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 10, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42727922827327,"sku":"9781628601336","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/cc73e9e0cabb69c235c4d0af1381ae37.webp?v=1765116596","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/primitives-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
