Hey Good people of SoWal!

So I decided to join the masses and be a SoWal 'abuser'!- [or is that 'user'?]
[cue in loud audible cheers].

I wanted to share with you guys a book I've been putting together about our Coastal Dune Lakes.
Specifically, it's a photographic book on Alligator Lake, as it's the Lake I do a little Volunteering on for the CBA [The Choc. Basin Alliance]. The Fonville Press at Alys Beach has agreed to purchase 10 books from me- so if you or anyone else you know want to check it out- it can be found there. Or will be just as soon as it comes in. [Let me know if you anyone has any problems.].
There's a small forward I wrote about why it's personal to me; how I came about it and why these Coastal Dune Lakes are so important. The rest of the book is broken up into different 'photographic' chapters: The Woods; Water; Sand; Gulf.

I hope the book does our area justice and you guys like it. Constructive Criticism is always welcome. [I know I'm going to regret saying that, aren't I?]. Eventually, my next project is to put together a book of all the Coastal Dune Lakes.

Thanks and I'm sure I'll be running my mouth on current topics from time to time- being the opinionated New Yorker that I am.

If you could post when they become available at Alys, I would love to take a look at this as I am sure there are many others.
Thank you

I'd say give it about a week or 2.
Also, I think I'll be there July 11th for a book signing.

Thanks for responding and taking an interest!

Though it isn't exactly a money making prospect remember that there are local libraries. Such as the public library on 331 and some resorts have them too.

:welcome:

Ha. Funny post.
No. It never occurred to me that I'm as 'discovered as I'm going to get'...Where's the fun in that?
Besides, I've only just begun promoting it and myself- why call it quits after only a few attempts.
Hell, if every time I called it quits because something was tough to get going-I'd never get anything done!

But-Thanks for the 'reality check' all the same.

Tee hee hee :wave: Welcome em marcus. I see you're a newbie. Don't worry, with a little help from fellow SoWalers, you'll quickly navigate your way through the murky waters.

You have to admit, that WAS funny.
