This is an "author photo" I've used a couple times in projects I've pitched. I love skateboarding (I even wrote about learning how to skate - and fall - in my thirties in the Paris Review Daily!) and one day I really hope I get to write a book about it! "Skate or Try" is my skateboarding motto... it's a little gentler than the one you might have seen in skateboard magazines :)
My wife Rachel doodled this skate cat before we were married and I've used it in a bunch of designs since then. It was the header for my first website, I used it on a skateboard I designed, and it's the stamp I put in all the books in our Little Free Library. I love this little cat!
My friend surprised me by wearing a Cooking with Courage t-shirt so I'm going to try to surprise him by wearing a t-shirt of him wearing a Cooking with Courage shirt.
