The clue is in the name, but we’re not just about publishing at Yellow Horse. Those who know Scott, know that besides the day job as a copywriter and video producer, he’s also a talented screenwriter and director. Those who know me know that besides my day job in marketing, web and graphic design, I’m also a photographer and relatively recently, a video editor.

Scott’s hard at work casting a screen adaptation of his novella HorrorCon for production in the spring of 2011. Current plans are to broadcast it online as webisodes, so keep watching for more news about that.

We’re both passionate about music – Scott, of course, has been performing for years with the incredibly hard-working Surrounded by Idiots. More recently, Scott’s been doing the solo acoustic thing in Sea Isle. If you’re ever down the shore and want to check him out, keep an eye on his website – it’s frequently updated with new gig dates.

My passion isn’t peforming (I briefly took up the ukulele, only to find I had no musical talent whatsoever), but I’m an avid listener. Soul music is my great love, so I’m really proud and excited to be associated with The Chancellors of Vice, a local funk/soul band here in Cambridge. Next weekend they’ll be on the big stage at the Big Weekend so I’ve been shooting some test video in preparation for that.

And what’s new in the small press and self-publishing world? Between investigating graphic novel and children’s book printers, casting, shooting, and the long holiday weekend, you probably know as much as we do. Catch us next week and we’ll give you a double dip.

PS, many thanks to Poppet for her kind words about the Blog de Suck and sWitch!
