2014
Jimmy Page was interviewed by Jeff Koons in New York for 92Y. In the Q&A, JP discussed his official photographic autobiography, the recent re-mastered releases of Led Zeppelin IV and Houses of the HolyWhen Koons offered to produce any artwork to go along with Page's anticipated solo tour and album next year, Page enthusiastically shook his hand, closing the deal. I'd like to know what Koons thinks about that deal now.





2016
Jimmy Page helped promote the return of Flaming June by Frederic Leighton (1830-1895) to Britain, gone since the 1960s.

I've got a writing project I'm doing this month. You may have heard of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), a challenge to write 50,000 words of a novel in one month (roughly 150 pages, or half of a publishable book).  I've been doing it for a few years now (first attempt was in 2008).  I always think I'm too busy to do it each year, but I do. I'll be doing it this year, too, even though I can't start until the 6th because I'm out of town.

Wish me luck! Buy the book when it comes out next spring! It's a sequel, so you might want to read the first book in the series, DARK GREEN.  Or maybe an unrelated novel before that, Evolution Device, a story of music and magic inspired partly by the writing I've done here over the years, and partly by the life and career of my favorite guitarist.

I've got a writing project I'm doing this month. You may have heard of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), a challenge to write 50,000 words of an original of a novel in one month (roughly 150 pages, or half of a publishable book).  I've been doing it for a few years now.  I thought I was too busy to do it this year, but I changed my mind. I decided I had to because if I keep it up, one of these years the end result will get picked up by a publisher.

Meanwhile, I'm not quite as busy as I thought, because I'm going to sacrifice this blog for one month. I won't stop posting the On This Day, but I'm not going to do the usual few hours of research that I usually put into each post.

Wish me luck! Buy the book!
