Greetings from "Weird Colorado"
(Materializing into view) Greetings, ladies and gents -- Hope I'm not out of line for admitting I'm here for a purely selfish reason.
I've been contracted to write a book called "Weird Colorado," to be published by Barnes & Noble. Some of you may know the series of "Weird U.S." guidebooks to all things unusual, edited by Mark Moran and Mark Sceurman of "Weird New Jersey" fame (yes, they occasionally do a show called "Weird U.S." for the History Channel).
Been admiring the fine vehicles of some of y'all from afar for years, especially at Frozen Dead Guy Days in Nederland. So when the opportunity came up to compile a book on all the best of what's weird in Colorado I thought of Denver Hearse Association.
Y'all do know that's a compliment, right?
So, would like to know if there is any interest in contributing to a profile of your swell group, with pics and commentary? It will appear in a spledigious hardcover book!
I've got references if anyone needs 'em ('cause anyone can call his/herself a writer), and would be glad to answer questions. I'm a veteran freelance journalist who has mostly written about quite mundane things like politics and gardening, but I do have a profile of Theda Bara coming out in the next issue of Gothic Beauty, if anyone's interested.
Hope this is an acceptable way to make myself known and ask for input. Someone let me know politely if it ain't, and I'll try startin' all over again, if that is necessary.
Thanks for your time and attention.
