I have sooo let the blog go unattended - you should see the cobwebs.
I have been working under a "Christnas Rush to Print" deadline on three books. Two by of the books (the cookbook and the spice guide), and will be published, printed, and promoted directly by Amazon, and also sold directly through my website, given to friends and family...
The last book is called Roadside Distractions, and will be funded by Kickstarter.com, where people interested in our project pledge money in trade for special gifts, from T-shirts, mugs, special addition, handmade copies of the book, and even guest blogger spots. There will also be A LOT of funky Seattle stuff - if you don't live here, maybe this book will send you up for a visit.
The book consists of photos of strange highway odd-spots by both of us as kids, usually taken through the back seat windows. We're recycling books destined for the shredder, recovering, tearing out the insides, then putting our book inside. We're about a day from launch, so if you want to this week (or up to a month), check it out, and if you want to, pledge. Read up on how it works.
I've found some spectacular projects, including the best film short I have ever watched. "Chloe and Attie" is 8 minutes with no sound or or dialogue, about aging telepathic twins, one completely paralyzed, while the other takes care of her. Very good, but twisted. Lou pretty much cried like a little girl.
Anyway, that's what we're doing these days, at least when I wasn't bortching into the toilet.
More news to follow.
