Charlie says...

via Publishers Weekly:

Marysue Rucci preempted world rights to a memoir by 30-year-old photographer Shreve Stockton titled The Daily Coyote: A Year with Charlie, derived from her popular blog of the same name; Stacey Glick at Dystel & Goderich made the sale. The book will chronicle Stockton's first year raising an orphaned coyote cub as a beloved household pet (and brother to tomcat Eli) in her one-room cabin in rural Wyoming; Rucci describes it as “Operating Instructions meets Marley & Me.” The book will also include many of Stockton's photographs, and pub date is scheduled for fall 2008.

the Daily Coyote really is a wonderful blog & the story of Charlie & Shreve (& Eli, too) is an amazing one. The combination of the writing & Shreve's amazing photography in telling their continuing story is something that should not be missed. Many of the regulars to the blog (myself included) have been hoping that a book deal was in the works. I'm so happy to see that it has come through.
