Circle of Eights

The book has arrived this morning!

It’s a compilation of the stories we’ve started to write about a year ago (Sept. 12 2007 to be accurate) at 8 hands (Tracy’s, Lee Muir’s, Jib’s and mine). Circle of Eights the title, is a reference at the interlocking circles that brought our interests together, as symbolized by the pseudonym for the author’s name which is made by merging our nicknames.
It is much more than one story actually, and quite difficult to summarize as it’s interactive, non-linear, and spans many interests at once. A bit of a challenge to get the hang of it, but immensely rewarding in fun.

We’ve decided to publish a first volume of these stories as much for our own personal pleasure as it’s also a way to have the content more easily explored. Coincidentally, the 888^th addition to the stories was made on August 8^th 2008, but it’s only one of the many synchronicities that surrounded the creation.

I chose Lulu to print the book, which is a self-publishing service, and the quality is really great, as you can tell on the pictures.

It’s a really large book (350 pages black and white, perfect bound). The exterior (paperback) is all shiny and Tracy’s picture of the cave in Jimena, Spain is looking awesome on the back.
