It's Pub Day!

You know, before all this book stuff happened, I thought that "Pub Day" meant going to a bar and having a few pints with friends.

Now, though, that term means something completely different. Now it means that my novel has finally arrived!

I began writing it in 2004.

I finished a first draft in 2013.

It sold to Knopf in February, 2015.

And now, finally, in August, 2016, it's actually here.

It's the end of a long road, and the beginning of another. Thanks to all who helped make it happen.
