Sherwood Nation, in green and heavily commented. I’d like to think that this book I began writing in earnest in January 2010 in Brazil is nearing completion, 19 months later, as the sun finally begins to shine in Portland.
Phew.

I’m really psyched about this cover. They modeled it after how they imagined one of Tree’s dream journals. Check out Domingo publishing, who will be putting out Couch in Turkish. Click the image for a larger view.

My fabulous partner Laura Moulton has launched her latest project, Street Books – a mobile, bicycle-powered library for people living outside.

She received a RACC grant for this and the project is generously hosted — while not in motion — at  Mercy Corps just off of Skidmore fountain in downtown Portland. I believe if you go by their office you can see it there.

I’ve really enjoyed the dialogue that’s happened between librarian and patrons so far — and the patrons have seemed very enthused about the possibility of getting books. If you want to see the current book request list, have a look at the Sponsor a Book page.

Marvin (only carries the Torah) - I saw a great video of him talking about his bike adventure that Laura will post in the next few days

Elizabeth - chose a Dark Horse book

Dave - took one for his girlfriend too
