What, is that part one or something?

So, surfing Wikipedia I decide to look at Claudia Christian's entry to see if it has any interesting or useful info on her (answer: no).

It does mention that she has published an autobiography, My Life with Geeks and Freaks (oooh, classy!) which can be found at http://www.yarddogpress.com/mylife.htm.

Oh, wait. 404? That's not good. (Google Cache!)

Going over to Amazon does prove the book does exist.

Apparently, the book is a big hit with other Green Room survivors:

Review
Having had the pleasure of performing improv comedy with Claudia on stages around the world, it is even a bigger pleasure that she can make me laugh even more with her written word! High-larious! --Dean Haglund

Review
Pee your pants funny --Denise Crosby

But, seriously, 72 pages? Is there a digit missing there, or is the text really small, or should she have hired a better ghost writer?

Given that, according to that Google cache, 28 pages are "photos of Claudia taken by her friends and fans alike", I seriously do hope that the 72 (or Amazon says 74) pages is a typo. Otherwise you're looking at less than 50 pages of actual content...

[thebitterguy]

Yeah, that's pretty brief in terms of actual content.

Which, yeah, may not be that surprising.

Rather than an autobiography it could just be, essentially, an annotated photo album.

[thebitterguy]

It kind of sounds like that.

Ah, well, I already have the pictures I want of her, wink wink.

[viktor-haag.livejournal.com]

Uhuh. Sadly, for me, pictures would just not be enough. Unless she'd be willing to act as a part-time, provocatively dressed, canaba-girl with strong housecleaning skillz, I'm afraid that the wife and I just couldn't manage too much interest... 8)

It was more laser guns and cheesy boots.

Man, I have no idea where I put that thing.

Yard Dog Press' whole website appears to be gone. There's a lot of buzz via Google about Yard Dog Press, but nothing suggesting they've imploded. In fact, there's stories suggesting they've got new books coming out "real soon now".

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing their website has been hacked into oblivion. The joys of the Information Economy.

What's really fascinating is to click on Claudia's name on Amazon, and see the other books she's written or contributed to. Who knew that she was into writing gay-bi-positive, small-press adventure thrillers!? Weird.
