The feeling one gets when the first box of books arrive is indescribable. Each pristine and unread, each containing years of your memories and research and writing expertise. It never gets old. When did I first start writing this book? From the moment I got that first email saying "we want you write musical...how much?" I remembered every detail of the next nine months and the years after that and now over 20 years later it's preserved in all its absurdity and hilarity and also poignance. To say yes, the realize the power that yes would bring is nothing to sneeze at. To travel from New York to Dubai and then to Qatar and back again and to create a brand new musical that would play to thousands in Doha and THEN to create a musical about creating that musical...well, it's a once in a lifetime experience, that much is for sure. So welcome to all you CAMELTON books...welcome to my home and out into the world where others can read and marvel at the exploits and adventures of someone who learned the power of yes.
