About this author


I’m sitting here in amazement that after more than a year of recording, editing, and mastering, the North! Or Be Eaten audiobook is here. I know I told you guys that it would be here a long time ago, back in 2011 when Englishman Peter Sandon was sending us files from his London studio. But then life started happening, and more than that, we at Rabbit Room Press discovered that putting together...

"Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through."Ira Glass

"Who owns Cross Creek? The red-birds, I think, more than I, for they will have their nests even in the face of delinquent mortgages..It seems to me that the earth may be borrowed, but not bought. It may be used, but not owned. It gives itself in response to love and tending, offers its sesonal flowering and fruiting. But we are tenants and not possessors, lovers, and not masters. Cross Creek belongs to the wind and the rain, to the sun and the seasons, to the cosmic secrecy of seed, and beyond all, to time..."

Brett Shilton is finished with The Monster in the Hollows: Just finished my 1st book of 2012! What a great read! But I highly doubt I'll be able to keep this pace for the rest of the year.

“Hey, angel, your horns are sticking up.”

“A thing resounds when it rings true,
Ringing all the bells inside of you,
Like a golden sky on a summer eve
Your heart is tugging at your sleeve,
And you cannot say why...
There must be more”

“The world is full of resurrections. Every night that folds us up in darkness is a death; and those of you that have been out early, and have seen the first of the dawn, will know it--the day rises out of the night like a being that has burst its tomb and escaped into life. ”
George MacDonald

“Therefore all that is not beautiful in the beloved, all that comes between and is not of love's kind, must be destroyed.”
George MacDonald, Unspoken Sermons: Series I, II, III

“Seeing is not believing - it is only seeing.”
George MacDonald, The Princess and the Goblin (Dover Juvenile Classics

“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.”
Annie Dillard

“We sleep to time's hurdy-gurdy; we wake, if ever we wake, to the silence of God. And then, when we wake to the deep shores of time uncreated, then when the dazzling dark breaks over the far slopes of time, then it's time to toss things, like our reason, and our will; then it's time to break our necks for home.
There are no events but thoughts and the heart's hard turning, the heart's slow learning where to love and whom. The rest is merely gossip, and tales for other times.”
Annie Dillard, Holy the Firm
