Coming to a bookshelf near you….

(UPDATE: Here’s a link to buy a copy!)

Last week the post office had a very heavy box for me to pick up. You’ll never guess what was inside.

There were twelve books in there. (I know – you’re seeing eight.) One was a blooper (my jacket and cover, but someone else’s pages in it1 – but it’s being replaced). Two immediately went out in the same morning’s mail, one to Brandon and one to Dave’s daughter. Most of the rest of these went out over coming days – two to folks who lent me photos, the remainder to people who were helpful in various ways.2 I have another box of books on the way, and most of those are earmarked for other folks who were helpful.

I have enabled the book for distribution, which means over the coming days and/or weeks IngramSpark will disseminate the data to the various book exchanges and you’ll be able to order a copy through your preferred bookseller. I am also in the process of setting up a Bookshop affiliate account, and will provide a link for you to order the book through that link.3

(Ed. note: Here’s a link that will do for the time being.)

I also plan to order a supply of books to keep on hand here, which I will need for readings and what not, and I’ll find a way to offer them through this site if you want a signed copy. I have to anticipate these things because it usually takes two weeks from order to delivery4, and since a case of books involves a certain amount of money, I have to plan ahead. But I’ll make it work out.

As you can see, it’s not a small book. But I think you’ll find it worth the cover price when you have it in your hands. Stay tuned – you’ll soon be able to do just that.

  1. The interior was a very nice-looking and interesting book about the Revolutionary War in South Carolina. Which makes me think that somewhere, somebody has a book that on the outside is about the Revolutionary War in South Carolina, but inside it’s about Our Dave.
  2. And one copy went to my parents, because…well, it was only right.
  3. At present on hold because Bookshop.org denied my verification request for some reason that they haven’t gotten back to me on. I’m not very happy. But, I digress.
  4. A factor because IngramSpark works these orders into whatever the press schedule can allow.
