book.gifThe book has arrived this morning!


It’s a com­pi­lation of the stories we’ve started to write about a year ago (Sept. 12 2007 to be accurate) at 8 hands (Tracy’s, Lee Muir’s, Jib’s and mine). Circle of Eights the title, is a ref­erence at the inter­locking circles that brought our interests together, as sym­bolized by the pseu­donym for the author’s name which is made by merging our nick­names.
It is much more than one story actually, and quite dif­ficult to sum­marize as it’s inter­active, non-linear, and spans many interests at once. A bit of a chal­lenge to get the hang of it, but immensely rewarding in fun.

We’ve decided to publish a first volume of these stories as much for our own per­sonal pleasure as it’s also a way to have the content more easily explored. Coin­ci­den­tally, the 888th addition to the stories was made on August 8th 2008, but it’s only one of the many syn­chronic­ities that sur­rounded the creation.

I chose Lulu to print the book, which is a self-publishing service, and the quality is really great, as you can tell on the pictures.

It’s a really large book (350 pages black and white, perfect bound). The exterior (paperback) is all shiny and Tracy’s picture of the cave in Jimena, Spain is looking awesome on the back.
