Click here to see something inspiring from Dave Eggers. And I have video of my kids horsing around at open mic over on YouTube. You can click to see them playing Queen, Clapton, The Beatles, The Who, and Pink Floyd. Enjoy!
My blog - LITPARK.com:
Guests of LitPark include bestselling authors Neil Gaiman, Lemony Snicket, and Kate Gale; The New Yorker cover artist, Peter de Seve; musicians David Habbin, Blackmore's Night, and School of Rock's Paul Green. But LitPark is mostly about the community of writers, readers and artists and what they have to say in the comments section. Stop by and introduce yourself!
Some good books written by family members:
A few friends I hope you'll check out:
This is the website and blog for my amazingly talented (and hot as anything) book cover designer, Tommy Kane, who is responsible for these:
Two of my soccer teammates, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and singer Candice Night, have a cool website full of their music right here. Or click here to see a cute video of Ritchie from his Deep Purple days.
