Last year, as some of you know I began to build a special for public radio that about the work and legacy of Jim Henson. Dave Goelz, Jim Lewis, Bonnie Erickson, Rollie Krewson, Jane Henson, and others me for interviews and some of them helped me with skits that added some new life and energy to the special.

Thanks to some of you, the special was not only produced but aired in fifteen markets around the NPR universe starting with WAMC in November. For those that did not get a chance to hear it... pester your local NPR station (they can find it on PRX) or go to PRX

In other news, my first novel is coming out into bookstores this April and from what I was told by my publisher yesterday will be available electronically at places like Amazon or Scribd.com as early as next week. Everything is linked and so to the extent you helped on the other project when I first talked about it (and at least one member shared a Dave Goelz photo which was used in promoting the special) it helped to make a second dream of mine come true.

If you want to take a peek at it, you can find it here...

I hope this post doesn't come off as spam. I do mean it sincerely.
