Not Finished Yet Now Open for Pre-Orders! - July 2009
Not Finished Yet: One Family's Quest For A Most Excellent Adventure, by Laureen Hudson, is now open for pre-orders! We'll be publishing this in April of 2010.
Once you have children, your traveling days are over. Right?
One night, after the kids had gone to bed, Laureen & Jason Hudson had a long talk. They realized that they had become that which they never wanted to be; people having abandoned the big picture in preference for the paycheck. They realized that if they stayed in the groove they were in for one moment longer, they were going to explode. But how were they going to manage, with children?
There's always an answer, if you're open to it.
They kept talking. And within the week, they'd put the house on the market, and contacted a broker about buying a boat, a 1991 Lagoon '47. They named her s/v Excellent Adventure.
Disconnecting from The System is harder than it sounds; two full years later, they were still crash landing bits of the “suburban dream.” Between getting rid of shoreside social, legal, and political entanglements, and getting rid of stuff, it's a big job to completely change the lifestyle of a family of five.
But come October 2009, they're finally going to cut the lines, sail out under the Golden Gate Bridge, turn left, and go long.
So come along and join them on their quest for a most excellent adventure!
News - Updated June 2009
As first stated on the Hunt Press Blog, the clouds have rolled in here in coastal Southern California, in more ways than one.
The old Hunt Press website went down like the Hindenberg somewhere in the last month. We don't know when exactly, but it died the death, taking the hosting and the email functionality with it. If you've tried to contact us, you've been getting the Bounce of Death. As you can see, we are frantically working to get functionality back to the site, but it's slow going for our micro-press selves.
Site is being repaired as fast as we can manage, as you can see.
In the meantime, the Lulu echo page is working at http://www.lulu.com/huntpress and you can find the Blurb titles when you search for either title name or for quennessa at http://www.blurb.com.
Stop gaps, all, but we do what we can. Ah, technology.

Also, our wonderful author, Tammy Takahashi, has a long list of speaking engagements this year!
Our other wonderful author, Ayamanatara, also has some fabulous events going this year which you can find out more about at http://www.ayamanatara.com.
Best news of all, the press has just acquired a fabulous new book, Not Finished Yet, by Laureen Hudson, a memoir of a family's adventure moving aboard a 47' catamaran. We'll be publishing this in April of 2010 and pre-orders will go live very soon.

There's plenty more, but this was the urgent news. Please spread the word! A small press lives and dies on the support of its readers and we are indebted to all of you beyond words.
Namaste!
