Looking at the completely empty calendar on the right side of the blog, I feel like I need to justify the lack of posts lately. I’ve been working on a book titled Grave Humor, which you can pre-order here . It’s the first time my little skull people are being published, which is pretty neat. Who knew they’d be useful?
Anyway, the book is a humorous collection of photographs of real tombstones found throughout America that tend to fall into the category of “funny, ironic, and ridiculous.” I was responsible for the cover, chapter openers, interior page illustrations, and spot illustrations. The team over at Family Tree Books was excellent to work with (great job Christy!). Anyway, I guess what I’m trying to say is: check it out. Release date is looking like September. Some stuff from Das Buch. [reader note: I will attempt to rediscover the resolve to post on a more sustained basis.]



Yaaaaaaaaaay! I have now pre-ordered it. I’m a good sister.
wicked proud!
Excellent!
saw the digital proofs today and they look AMAZING! thanks for being so great to work with
Terrific!! I can’t wait!
What a great idea for a book! I am a Laughter Mentor and teach workshops on the conscious use of laughter in our lives. I never considered involving laughter and genealogy … except when locating ancestor oddities! Thanks so much for creating this book.
