Omnibucket offers an imaginative marriage of literature and multimedia.  These are novels with included soundtracks, illustrated future fairy tales, paintings with words, and all editions are super limited.  A team of writers and artists take each book from concept to product.

Eleventy Billion Miles Away is a collaboration among writers and artists.  A soundtrack is included.  The project explores mankind’s place in the universe and the quest to connect to the dark beyond.

The Book of Clav is an imagined found art piece.  The story is manic and compelling, and the art puts shivers in your veins. Clav also includes a soundtrack, and is limited to 75 copies.

My toy camera photography will be featured in the gallery show Puzzles and Solutions. Please come!  Event details are here.

From YA fiction writer Pete Hautman:

#3: If you are not sitting with a writing instrument at hand, you are unlikely to be writing.

#10:  Never, never forget that writing is not just an act of expression, it is also an act of communication!

Here are the rest:

Riders’ Collective just published my article about a bike tour I took with Dawn through the California and Arizona desert.  Click the picture at left to download the magazine.  The piece is called “Highway 62 Revisited.”  Enjoy!

As a side-note, this magazine is structured as an aggregate.  That means it culls relevant content from the web.  It works because Paul Kramer, the editor, works hard to meet a quality standard that his readers expect.  With so much content out there, and so many people eager to publish, Paul creates value by doing the hard work of filtering through the rubbish.  It’s like a magazine mixtape!
