Once, driving through a part of New England in the USA, where everything was rural and green and generally bucolic, I most unexpectedly came upon this:

Towards the end of 2011, a fairly new online company called TagWhat that describe themselves as “The mobile encyclopedia of where you are” contacted me. An attentive Multimedia Content Producer there liked my videos I call “Matches” and they wanted to collaborate. The company develops and runs a located-based App for mobile devices, the idea being that when you are somewhere in the world and want to know a little about a very specific place, you can call up a story of that location using their app to look and listen to. They’ve been covered by the Wall Street Journal, AP, Mashable, and is a People’s Choice Award Winner.
After some back and forth, my “Matches” series of memory videos became part of TagWhat’s mobile encyclopedia.
This seems to be an example of what is called, “Slowly getting one’s words and stories out there one small discovery by small exposure at a time….”
And if you want to have an actual look-listen at my Matches series of videos to see what they see, you can have get to them by clicking here.
So, hey, stuff happens,

Here’s what’s coming your way in the next weeks & months that me and my expanding media and publishing company (insert smiley face here), hidden people have been busy with over the summer
My novella about an artist in Belgium, Brussegem, a snug hell, coming early October 2010. Here’s the cover:
Then come mid-November, there’s my kids’ story/book The Boy in the Sandwich. Here’s an early rough drawing for its cover:
It’s for children from 8 years and up, up, up.
Also coming out with an illustrated, re-formatted version of How to Find Yourself (or a reasonable facsimile).
DO NOT LOOK FOR YOURSELF UNDER THE LIVING ROOM COUCH!
The launch of my Stories-on-Stuff merchandise empire (more smiley face insertions), where I’ll have t-shirts, a kid’s pj’s story called “The Dot Hippo”…another about polite babies…all sorts of different T-shirts, cups, umbrellas and such like, working with various designers: lots coming down and going on here.
A free short-short called Killing the Furniture from my “Noises from the House” section. Here’s the first sentence: When people come knocking on my front door, the first thing I do is ignore them.
Me in a video suffering from another rejection letter to a novel of mine from Chatto & Windus some years ago.
Some stills from all sorts of other videos coming up:
All this coming up and then…the next thing…and after that…the next thing.
Thanks for reading, and please stick around (or send others over to SUBSCRIBE), things are just warming up around here! Vincent
