“I knew this was something I wasn’t going to be able to commission because it was just about me,” Mr. Rekulak said. Mr. Rekulak kept writing, with occasional long interruptions to work on Quirk projects. After moving to Philadelphia to work at the Running Press, a small, independent publisher, he met David Borgenicht, who had just started Quirk Books and hired Mr. Rekulak as an editor. Mr. Rekulak views those defections as the inescapable plight of a small publishing house, although sometimes it stings. Mr. Rekulak has another Quirk book coming out later this year — an original picture book he wrote that is based on the sci-fi show “The X-Files,” which features the agents Mulder and Scully as kids.
