Book projects, Writing, and Life

I have been truly horrible about keeping up with this blog. But, I have a good excuse. My husband and I have been gearing up for the release of his book "The Cactus Eaters: How I Lost My Mind and Almost Found Myself on the Pacific Crest Trail"

10 years ago when I first met Dan, he handed me a rough draft of the manuscript. I quickly fell in love with it (and him). Now after long hours working to revise it, it's being released on Tuesday.

This version is funnier, better written and more honest than the one I read all those years ago. As the Los Angeles Times reviewer wrote today: "Every step toward Canada was a step toward manhood," White writes, in that voice you will grow to love. "I feared that the trail, if I never finished it, would leave me stranded in a permanent kindergarten."
If you love fast-paced, witty non-fiction it won't take you long to love this book.
