STARTING MONDAY: From Loon to "Loon"

Yesterday, Amazon and Random House placed the cover of Loon - A Marine Story on their web sites. As with so many book related events over the past six years, it took my breath away. It is the stuff that (my) dreams are made of.

It will have taken 41 years for Loon (the battle) to become Loon (the book.)

Monday, with less than four months until publication, I will begin a week-long series detailing what it took to transform 100 old letters into a major release by America's legendary publishing house.

Mon: What's the Big Idea?

Tues: Who Cares?

Wed: Let's Git'r Done

Thurs: "We Just got a Nibble"

Fri: Life in Detail

Thank you for your continuing support and, as always, thank you for visiting.

"Gee it's great to be back home again..."

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

2009? 

The Year of the Loon.

Thank you for visiting.

"The world is too much with us;

...late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;

Little we see in nature that is ours."

"I'm sitting here la la. Waiting for my Ya Ya Ah huh. Ah huh."

Merry Christmas to all.

Let it snow, let snow, let it snow (not...)

Here is some good morning warmth and good cheer for our chilly and exhausted family on Crosby Road.

We love you and are relieved that you are all safe.






Thank you for visiting.
