Rough Draft Novel Bound: The Idiot Runs

This is my novel, The Idiot Runs. Autobiographical? I think not, my friend. It's a rough draft complete with some of my corrections. I wanted to practice casing in, so I cased it in. Odd, isn't it, how practicing doing something is better than reading about doing something? It's cased in rough (rough draft, see?) white paper with no indication for front or back. Similar to the novel itself which goes from present day Oregon coast to Venice in the 1400s and Jensen's print shop. See why it isn't autobiographical? It's a love story, of course. The main experiment was making very thin covers so that the novel itself is flexible. A success, I think.

Venetian Slime Woman

I wrote a sci-fi novel about a strange group of people who grow from mold and can't die except after the birth of their grandchild. And the unnamed government agency that ones to dissect one - "for research purposes" - of course, and how a daring EPA water specialist saves, protects, and falls in love with one.

Then I printed it out and bound it up to create three copies (one has been given away already) of a unique book that is also fun to read.

"The Venetian Slime Woman: A Biological Love Story" is available at Smashwords.com and, handbound, from me.

Email me at Tedorigawabookmakers.bookmakers@gmail.com if you would like to purchase one of the two remaining copies. The one copy I gave away was given to the inspiration for the EPA water quality specialist - a friend who is an EPA water quality specialist; or was before retiring into private consulting work. In Venice? No, alas.
