Northline is freshly printed in Dutch by publisher NIJGH & VAN DITMAR. The book is beautiful! And it comes with the original CD soundtrack.

Come on down to Secret Society on Monday, March 11 to see Willy in a rare solo performance opening up for Rick Bass and Stellarondo. As you may have noticed, Willy’s been on the down-low for a year or so, finishing his new novel The Free (coming out this time next year) and working on new songs. Expect to hear some new stuff at this gig, and don’t expect to see him again any time soon (unless you live in Ireland, Norway, Sweden or Finland – more on that later). Of course, Rick Bass is draw enough and Willy is a huge fan.

Great news from the Rome International Film Festival! The Motel Life made an impressive showing, taking home the Audience Choice Award as well as the awards for Screenplay and Editing. It received a roaring round of applause after the premier screening and there was quite a bit of buzz about its cast, cinematography, animation, and story. Release dates are still TBA but fingers crossed you’ll see it at a theater near you soon…

Meanwhile, check out this early review.

Cheers & Happy Thanksgiving!
