Look what was sitting on my doorstep when I got home tonight!

No, not her. The book! The first hardcover copy of Nowhere Wild!

And oh, by the way, the front cover has a blurb from the absolutely wonderful, Deb Caletti! Check it out!

I’m so thrilled to have this in my hands. My mouth went dry and my chest locked up for a second when I saw the box on the front porch.

And yes, my wife gets to keep the first copy. She’s the one who told me to start writing again, just about 7 years ago today. She’s put up with the whining about plot lines and the moaning about edits. She deserves to get something back in return.

Seriously, I could not, and would not, have done this without her. Lisa, thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I love you!
