This sort of thing seems to happen more frequently than I would've imagined: Write a blog about funny cakes, get a book deal. Write a blog about cooking and get a book deal AND a movie deal. Tweet stuff your dad says and land a book deal and possible television show.

Makes me wonder, like all those 'memoirs' that turned out to not be true, if this is made out of whole cloth. I rather hope it is true, because it is one of those 'it could happen to me' kind of things. I'm a regular person on the internet! Just like him!
