Twenty-Eight and Ten Years on

Twenty-eight years ago yesterday Desert Storm began.

Also ten years ago this year we published A Line through the Desert.

The idea had been kicking around our head since 2002, and we began writing the book in March of 2003 moments after finishing Nick Hornby's High Fidelity. Let's just say we related. The John Cusack film is a faithful representation, aside from being American, not British. 

There are traces of HF in ALTD, mostly music related.

At this time ten years ago we were going through Book Surge's (now CreateSpace's) agonizing formatting process. This meant a lot of waiting and money.

Now we do it all ourselves, for free.
