As you may have noticed in the last couple of months or so, I've been posting new blog entries with less and less frequency.  The good news that I'm fine, my family's fine, nothing's gone wrong (knock on wood) that has prevented me from regularly updating the blog like I wanted.  The bad news is that I'm probably going to continue posting haphazardly on a reduced schedule for the next several months, due to the fact that the majority of my writing energies are being devoted to another project: the "SharePoint 2007 Disaster Recovery Guide."

Becky Isserman (aka MOSSLover) was awesome enough to invite me to co-author this book with her, and we've been furiously scribbling away as we work to put together a useful and thorough resource on how to preserve and restore your SharePoint environment in the event of a calamity.  It's definitely been a learning experience for me; as a first-time author I have a whole new appreciation for everyone out there who has written a technical book before.

As you can see, the entry for the book is up on Amazon already, although we've slightly tweaked the title recently to better reflect how our work is going to encompass the entire SharePoint platform, not just MOSS 2007.  The other cool thing that happened recently is that our publisher has put together a draft of the cover design for the book, and I think it looks pretty sweet.  Between that and the Amazon entry it certainly makes the whole project feel a lot more tangible beyond the boatload of Word documents we're churning out.

And instead of just taunting you with how cool the cover looks, I figured I'd go ahead and put it out there for you to see as well.  Take a look and let me know what you think   And don't forget to bookmark that Amazon page so you can easily check back to it and find out when your pre-ordered copy is due to ship!
