About

First published as a blog and now as a book, The Nowhere Special is a collection of short stories, snapshots, essays, and prose compiled from the artistic mind of Mark Searcy to champion the notion that a medium influences how a message can be perceived. Blogs read differently than books—even when the words are the same, the meaning feels different when you can hold it in your hands.

Dedication

I wrote this for the person that is attached to the voice you hear when I yell, “Just picture it with words!”

Introduction

If you can read this and watch yourself hold a book in front of your face at the same time then you’ll get what I mean when I introduce this book as something that was written with you in mind. If you can’t read this and watch yourself hold a book in front of your face at the same time, then your imagination could be broken and you should probably have it checked out to make sure it’s not too serious or deadly.

Now, lady or gentleman, with just a little further ado, I introduce The Nowhere Special as a book that smells like paper, ink, and glue, and now a little bit like you too.
