An anniversary, of sorts: It was two years ago today that Ron Gonen called me for the first time. It was a Saturday afternoon and it was about to snow in Pittsburgh, and the next thing I know I'm having a two-hour conversation with some guy with a crazy accent and embarking on a project that dramatically changed my career.
Turns out we're in good company -- we share the same anniversary with the Mac.
I had responded to an add on Craigslist the previous November that said, in part, "We live in the witness protection program and are looking for a writer to tell our story to." Hundreds of hours on the phone later, the book is on the verge of being in stores (it was released to the printer on Thursday), I'm trying to sell the film options and there's talk that I'll be the subject of a documentary about the publishing industry.
I'm not usually big on anniversaries as ways of marking time and personal change, but it has been a rather interesting two years. These past two years are the same two years that will be, with a little luck, covered in the next book. That is if I can find enough time to break away from promotion, selling film rights and working on the documentary to actually write the proposal.
In any case, it seemed worth mentioning.Labels: bloodandvolume, life
