Still here!
It’s been a busy year. Between a hectic day job and now, a new baby, I haven’t been on top of updates here. It’s been a while since MudScout released a new book, but I’ve been busy behind the scenes, helping some friends and clients with their book projects.

Kid Koala & Lederhosen Lucil in Vancouver →
If you’re in Vancouver in February for the 2010 Olympics, check out one of these shows (note that they’re in February, not Jan. as the link suggests. Try this link for reality. There’s the return of the legendary Short Attention Span Theatre (rooted in part in Kid Koala’s book, Nufonia Must Fall, which I worked on back when I was still at ECW Press), as well as a rare...

Digging Up MudScout Books
People often ask me where you can find MudScout books. And then I’ll read about how obscure and hard to find they are. The thing is, although most of the titles are still in print, they aren’t in all that many stores these days — I’ve handled most of the distribution myself because we’re too small for most distributors to play ball with, and if the books are in stores, they...
