blood, sweat, and tears

Just a month ago, I was down and out wondering if I'd fallen off the ladder. I was studying ghost stories for potential tours and wondering if I would lose my teeth due to cavities I never managed to fill when I actually had dental insurance. Here I am now with an upgraded to Publicity Director for Unchained Tour. I got to scout around Madison (blog prior) for an event but to little effect as it was cancelled. The store Dog Ear Books moved to Athens and the city of Madison is furious their bookstore is leaving them, sad too but mostly furious. This is one of the ironies of our times. If the store had done a little better it maybe could have stayed. So, if you love your local independent bookstore pump some money into it or you'll be pissed off when it boxes up for the next best town. I've attached a video that is the first clip of our documentary crews work. It makes me all teary and moved. More to come! So many great people are involved from Dan Kennedy to Cary Ann Hearst, and so many more.

Also, here's the link for an amazing story by my new pal and Moth founder, George Dawes Green, called "The House That Sherman Didn't Burn."
