Congratulations, Wade! I'm a fellow SWMI author (St. Joe area) who has followed your career since I laughed my way through "At Least In The City Someone Would Hear Me Scream" fifteen or so years ago. I was so excited to find you here on Substack, and am looking forward to getting a chance to read "America's Boy" as I missed it the first time around. The hurry-up-and-wait, hope-it-doesn't-die-on-the-vine nature of book publishing is real! So glad to see that your first book is getting new life!

Hi, Meagan! TY so much for your note. Hope you love America's Boy. Ah, yes, the ups and downs, beauty and horror of publishing. I call it BART: Business meets art. It's art, but never forget business leads the cart. XOXO!

This is wonderful! I think I will wait until the actual book comes out though. (Just finished The Page Turner, btw, and loved it!)

TY! So glad you loved! And it could be a long time before print issue is out ... publisher focuses on ebooks. xo
