I am happy to finally be on a blog, and I hope this is a way to reach out to my friends all over the world in Canada, Italy, Djibouti, Rwanda, Tanzania and even far-away California!
I have been working hard on my book, THE ONE LEGGED CHEF, and Judy and I are getting a proposal ready for an agent. As much experience as she has, and as positive and optomistic as I am, it is still a strenuous process. I am so proud of what we have achieved and cannot wait to share it with my friends, family and the world. It is a story of an amputation, of cooking, of finding a new meaning of life in the heart of Africa, and about a journey forward. I will have a facebook and twitter page up soon that I will link with this blog. In the meantime, "favorite" my blog and stay tuned for adventures to come!!!
Peace,
Charlie

I've known Charlie since he was six years old when my family moved in three doors down from the Reinhardts in Westport, Connecticut. I have to admit that in those early years - as I was watching Charlie climb monkey bars- I never imagined that I would one day be writing a book with him. The thought occurred to me in 2006 as he was leaving for a chef's position at the Kempinski Hotel in Djibouti. I remember saying, "Charlie, you must keep a journal." Well he did - and it is filled with stories of kitchens and Africa and culture shock and camel beheadings and living life as a normal person who just happens to have one leg. I will chime in with Charlie to share tidbits of our writing progress.

ReplyDeleteI am so proud of you. Intentionally or not, I think Djibouti changed us all just a little bit. Culture shock can be wonderful. It allows us to put life in a different perspective. I have never met anyone that made life look so easy. I look forward to reading your book!
ReplyDeleteGood for you. Your writing is very humerous. I'm sure it is going to be a great book. Sabrina
