I probably should mention that my new book is out. It’s published by the weird and wonderful folks at BlueQ. It’s a nice little photo book of the sad chairs of St. Louis. No, really. Discarded chairs in alleys. Abandoned chairs on street corners. Abused chairs on loading docks. You get the picture. You’re gonna [...]
I just wanted to let everyone who bought my book this year know that I donated a percentage of the royalties to a couple great causes:
The St. Louis Area Foodbank (feeding struggling single-parent families, the elderly and the working poor)

Of course, if you can’t wait please feel free to head over to your local bookseller or Amazon to pick up a [...]
Yep, that’s the ISBN of my first book. The idea was hatched in January 2006, I started working on it in April, I finished it in August, I proofed the pages in October and got my first actual copy of it in March 2007. Tomorrow, May 2, it’s available to everyone, though it already started [...]
