Perhaps this is indicative of the difference between the two of us. My family and I were at the VIP Preview for the Orange County Fair last night and we ran into Weird Al Yankovic.

What was really neat about this event is the ribbing my daughters gave my son and me... Like father, like son. Both of us like Weird Al's music... often better than the original artist's rendition!

Now the two of us have another something together we can fall back on when growing up gets rough.

Too bad he forgot his camera at home. He has now applied his Corollary to his Camera Axiom: Your wife’s lousy cell phone is a darn fine camera 
when you forgot your real camera at home and you unexpectedly run into Weird Al Yankovic at the VIP Preview at the
Orange County Fair.

It's official... according to popular vote we've got the swankest booth at Jamboree. I guess wood flooring and a purple couch make all the difference.

Hello and welcome to our new blog.

Books and More is about art and joy of independent books. From picture books to novels, we will cover the art of book making and the thrill of finding and sharing new works of literature.

Many great books are printed each year but never end up on the shelves at popular books stores. There are many great authors, poets, artists, photographers and others who would rejoice at the opportunity to publish their works and make them publicly available. We cover the topics necessary to make publishing your own works possible. We will also share new books and hidden treasures of the independent book world with you.

This blog will cover publishing techniques for all types of books. We will also highlight and review new works as we add them to our new bookstore.
