    Hi,
    Yes it was me. Very nice meeting you.
    The hike down Drakes Brook Trail was uneventful. None of the slippery stuff I found on Sandwich Mtn Trail ascending. Hope your return trip was safe as well.

    Hi Guys,

    Thanks for the greeting. Good to hear from you, and yes, we are glad the difficult parts are behind us. Now the book lays in front of us. Let me tell you, there's more to putting together a book than I had anticipated. Luckily we are represented by one of the best agencies in the country. (I say we because they understand they now represent Atticus, too! As a matter of fact, part of my contract with any publisher is that I will do no book signings where he is not allowed to go. Therefore, no bookstores that don't allow dogs because they have a cafe inside...unless they bend the rules for Atticus.)

    One of the most difficult challenges is stepping into the processed world of New York City publishing and not get forced into a cookie cutter operation. They like things processed...sometimes overly so. I had to fight to hold onto my primitive side. It was (and is) a good exercise because it makes me strong for the books that will follow.

    Good news is that "Following Atticus" has 10 NY Times bestselling authors endorsing it before it even goes out to bid to the publishers. That will help me a great deal as an unknown writer.

    Now that we are on the other side of the mountains (Tamworth, until a book deal is signed; North Conway there after, we'll be on your side less but still look forward to bumping into the two of you as we have in the past.

    Happy New Year,
    T & A
    Thanks for the encouragement Pocahontas!! ;-) I am trying to stay positive... feeling guilty about sitting on my toosh so often but there are worse things, I guess!!! ;-)
