Last year I was contacted by freelance writer Shari Cauldron. She came out to House of Bricks in 2005 to spend some time and interview all of us for her upcoming book about folks with eccentric hobbies. Her book has now been published and info can be found here.

While I’m not sure what exactly she’ll have to say about our community, she did have very warm things to say about her interviews and various travels. After HoB I tentatively asked her, “So what do you think? Are we freaks? Are we going to be embarrassed by your book?” She replied that our community was much like the others; passionate people drawn together for friendship and common interests. So, I anticipate it should be an amusing but kind look at usº. She is sending me a copy I will review for lugnet in the near future.

º Us being the folks at HoB... and clearly that con is representative of most ;)

(...) Hmm, that book looks like it's about a bunch of freaks--what was she doing interviewing AFOLs? Derek (18 years ago, 23-Jul-06, to lugnet.books, lugnet.mediawatch, FTX)
