I'm writing a book. Okay, okay I'm co-writing a book. But still, I'm writing a book!

I'm excited to have teamed up with home economist and cookbook author, Michelle Thrift. We are currently working on a combination cookbook and training guide for men slated for launch in September. With a working title of Hammer and Nails, it's all about showing guys the essential kitchen and training skills - the two areas in which we are most able to influence our quality of life.

Some of you have expressed your sympathy for my co-author, others are just excited at the prospect of me finally getting an editor.  Both of these sentiments are well founded, as we will be editing the work ourselves.

We can agree that Michelle will have her work cut out for her. Or more accurately, I will have my work (and genius) cut out for me, as that's what editors do - as a service for those that don't have three days to spare in which to read a fitness article, apparently. Anyway, the photo above is about our 100th attempt at getting a half-decent publicity shot. We have higher hopes for the book.

We'll both keep you updated with some snippets during the process and maybe even a few video teasers so stay tuned.
