I made it back to the office. It took about 8 months, but I finally made it. It feels way too good to be at work. I had no idea how much I would miss my office! I am having a blast being a mommy to Augustine Zachary (who is now 8.5 months old). Now after coming home from being super productive at the office, I feel refreshed and ready to love Augustine all the more. It's a great balance, which took me 8 months to find, but it's here!
And as far as projects go....
Two years ago, I had the opportunity to work with Michael Koryta on web videos to promote his novel, So Cold the River.
And as far as projects go....
Two years ago, I had the opportunity to work with Michael Koryta on web videos to promote his novel, So Cold the River.
Here is the result of that collaboration:
I've been working with Koryta again lately on videos for his latest novel, The Ridge.
I'm not at liberty to post the video just yet (the book comes out in June - it's excellent!) Koryta's novel is a supernatural mystery set at a feline rescue sanctuary in the woods of Kentucky . We spent the day at the Exotic Feline Rescue Center in Center Point, Indiana capturing footage of big beautiful cats.
I am fairly particular about my reading materials, so I didn't immediately pick up Koryta's book, So Cold the River. When I finally did pick it up, I couldn't put it down! It was especially fun to read because the protagonist, Eric Shaw, is a videographer! It's kind of a funny story. When Koryta was a reporter for the Herald Times, he wrote an article about my business which was just getting started (the article is posted on my website www.mayvideo.com). My service of creating family videos was the inspiration for the career of the protagonist. In the book, Eric Shaw creates slide shows for funerals, and was hired for a very special documentary project when things took a turn for the supernatural down in West Baden, Indiana. This book is so great!
By now I've read all of Koryta's other books, when I find reading material that I like, I wolf it down. His writing is entrancing and delicious. I can't recommend his books enough, my favorite is The Cypress House. Koryta will be signing books at Barnes & Noble in Bloomington on June 6th, so come out and get your autographed copy of The Ridge! It's also a fund raiser for the cat rescue center so show up and help a big kitty.
I have a lot of exciting projects going on that I'd love to tell you about, but right now I've got to get back to my baby:) Maybe I'll have a spare moment when I make it back to the office...
Thanks for reading!
