Rundy publishes his first book
January 28th, 2007 by Kathy Purdy · 2 Comments
Faithful readers of this blog will remember Rundy’s struggles with the brush mower, his love of fruit trees, and his fist-shaking frustration with animal pests. Those of you who are relatively new to this blog can read all his entries here. I am happy to tell you that Rundy’s first work of fiction, The Stuttering Bard of York, has recently been published. It is a spoof of the fantasy literature genre, and not at all like the writing on his own blog.
After contacting several publishers without positive results, Rundy decided to publish the book himself. You can read more about the process here. As his mother, I got to be one of the proofreaders. Yes, Rundy got a lot of input from all of his family as he worked on this book . . . the life of a writer can be difficult. And lonely. If you have enjoyed any of his writings, please email and let him know. His address is on both of his websites, here and here.

Her first independent (though frustrating) attempts at gardening were made in high school, though the gardening bug didn't bite hard until her mid-thirties, when she found herself mistress of a rural home on 15 acres. •

Wonderful news Kathy! I will happily send an email…I have enjoyed his writings in the past and wish him “rave reviews” of this recent work!
(…. personally, I am a big fan of the brush mower, fruit tree growing, fist shaking, backyard chickens genre…)
