Living Among Sasquatch: a Primer is published. Not on purpose, but those of you who know me, know me.
In Bleecker in the summer, we live among Sasquatch. Yep. They're all around, and no one is more amazed and baffled as I am. So, last year, I decided to document our findings in a book, primarily using entries in this blog, and adding to it as time passed. Time did pass, and a book was the result.
I looked around for a publisher, not expecting much. First time authors are impossible to publish, but I found a publisher in the UK who was considering it. In the meantime, I started working through self publishing on Lulu.com. I'd go to it every few days, work on it a bit, and hit the button marked "save and continue". Fine.
Yesterday morning, while working through the web pages, I got to "save and finish". OK. I hit it, and the screen said something to the effect of "Congratulations! Your book is published!". What? Published? Why didn't the button say "Save and publish"!
So I am an author. I posted a link to my book on Lulu.com and sold one. So now I am a professional author.
I am actually pretty proud of this book. It is all truthful, and quite honestly, to me, pretty amazing. How would you feel if you found that leprechauns were real? Or unicorns? That's how I feel about Sasquatch.
Oh well, besides two blogs (this one and Bleecker Mountain Life) and a handful of magazine articles, I am now an author of books. I'd have a victory beer, but it is 4:15 AM here. Probably not a good idea.

The book is available on Lulu.com now. Click the link below. This is a collector's edition because I haven't read the proof yet, so things like the copyright page are missing. Someday, it will be worth millions, no doubt.
