The Blog-to-Book We Saw Coming in 2007

It was nearly two years ago that we first spotted the website Daily Coyote and said to ourselves, “There’s a book in this somewhere.” At the time, though, we almost wondered if Shreve Stockton even needed a book deal, seeing as how she’d already set up a business model where subscribers could get pictures of her coyote, Charlie, five months ahead of the public website. Maybe we shouldn’t have second-guessed ourselves: We just got a copy of The Daily Coyote: A Story of Love, Survival, and Trust in the Wilds of Wyoming in the mail the other day—and from what we can see, while it does have a few pictures in it, it’s no picture-blog-turned-book deal—this is a real memoir about Stockton’s relationship with her boyfriend, with the landscape of her new home, and of course with Charlie… and it’s really, really good.
