Book Announcement

Now that the contract is actually signed and done, I think that I am probably safe to announce the fact that I have signed as an author with Storey Publishing. They will be bringing my first book, 'A Locavore's Guide to Deer Hunting' to print in the near future. Its not clear yet as to exactly when the book will be launched, but I have high hopes of getting onto the fall schedule.

Actually, it might not even go to print with that title. They have the right to rename it anything they want, which is fine with me.

As we approach the launch date, I will be scheduling a series of workshops and butchering demonstrations in various cities. These will be more or less along the lines of the workshops I have recently done in support of Slow Food NYC. If anyone reading this is part of an organization with goals aligned somehow with what I'm doing, please feel free to get in touch with me about visiting your area as I approach the launch of the book. Slow Food convivia, locavore groups, etc. Shoot me an email at Jack dot Landers at gmail dot com.

Meanwhile, I've got all sorts of other cool stuff in the works that I can't wait to formally announce. This includes TV projects, new courses on advanced topics like rifle-building and hide-tanning, and a 150 acre property in the Blue Ridge Mountains where my co-instructors and I will be offering various fun weekends involving primitive skills, a 150 yard shooting range that we are hacking out of a mountain side, waterfalls, and a unique retreat that sleeps 10.

Fun stuff is in the works.
