Schuyler's Monster

Robert Rummel-Hudson is a blogger I've been reading since. Well, since before the word "blog" was even part of the lexicon. I'd say, I've been reading him since probably 1998. Rob's unique voice, without a doubt, is one that in part inspired me to become a blogger myself.

During the course of Rob's online journaling he and his wife Julie became parents. Their daughter, Schuyler Noel (pronounced "Sky-lar") is now around six years old and also the victim of a condition that effects her ability to speak. Rob refers to this affliction as Schuyler's "monster". Rob's blog is a record of his journey with his daughter. It is a fascinating read that, not too surprisingly, considering the quality of his writing, landed him a book deal. Rob's book, "Schuyler's Monster: A Father's Journey with his Wordless Daughter" will be published in February, 2008.

Meantime, Rob has posted a series of videos featuring himself and his wife, Julie, discussing their experiences with their daughter and his upcoming book. You can pre-order your copy here.

Congratulations, Rob.
