Hello all,

All rewards are in the mail! If you haven't received yours within the next week, please let me know. My one month national campaign starts today with Smith Publicity. I thank everyone again for helping make this happen.

On another note, do you like graphic novels? Here is a link to a great kickstarter campaign that a good friend of mine has started. It's a collaboration of artists with different styles which is refreshing and an interesting concept. Plus, Dracula and Frankenstein are world leaders! Below is the link.

Lobster Tech

Update #5 · Jul 13, 2012 · 6 comments

Hello all. Did you see that company that raised over four million dollars and their campaign is only four days old! Way to leave some for the rest of us guys!

I stayed up all night working on my own lobster technology.

A few pages in Audio

Update #4 · Jul 10, 2012 · 3 comments

Seven days left! I’m almost there. Here’s why we won’t be doing an audio version of the book, but we had lots of fun! I asked some friends to read a few pages from the book with me. The audio is below the photo. Thank you Brian, Jeremy, Eda, and Alessandro!

Here’s the set up. A reporter has been trying to find out the identity of the lobster thief - with no luck. Toady his luck changes.

Their last few days

Update #3 · Jul 5, 2012 · comment

I'm at 75%! I really appreciate the response I've had so far. Here are some photos and a quick video I shot when I was researching lobsters for this project.

Lobsters are loners and do not like the company of other lobsters, so being stacked five deep in fish tanks must be especially bothersome.

The photo with the rubber band on the claw really affected me. How can such a simple thing render a creature's only defense - useless? And so easily.
