Stavros the wonder chicken hits the big time

One of my favorite writers on the web, who I once lauded as the literary decendant of Hunter S. Thompson, just announced that he has been approached to have some of his essays published in a book! Every writer's dream comes true for him. It is a well deserved honor. It's nice to know that quality of writing stands on its own, even when disguised by a ridiculous pen name (Stavros the Wonderchicken), and when the writer is not part of any meat space clique or echo chamber.

He is the second of my favorite writers to get published in print because of the quality of his writing on the web. The first was Real Live Preacher, who writes with about as different a voice from Stavros the Wonderchicken as one could image, although the sensibilites aren't that far apart. Here is hoping that Robert K Brown of Leukemia Survior will be next, then one near and dear to me.

Now quickly, go read some of Stavros' essays on Empty Bottle before he starts charging you for reading :-).
