A Brief Update

Coming Soon to a Device Near You

Holy shit. I went to look at Dynamite Nashville’s Amazon page, to see if it had the exact date of release for the ebook and there is a review on there that… I mean… sir. First, Margaret Renkl lives here. And second, how am I supposed to leave my house with my head inflated this big?! “Aunt B is the greatest modern non-fiction author in Tennessee.” Okay, sure. Let’s just live like this is true. Lord.

And look! Years of therapy mean I’m not going to get on Amazon and immediately argue with a person trying to say something nice about me about how they’re wrong. Instead I’m going to sit here with this goofy grin and just feel uncomfortable about it. Thanks, anonymous reviewer. What a lovely thing to read.

Anyway, this was supposed to be a brief update. First, the ebook will be available September 24th. So, if this is your reading method of choice, good news.

Second, the audiobook contract has been signed. With, like, a real, respected audiobook publisher. So, the narrator won’t be me. Some of you will be disappointed, but believe me, it’s for all our own good. Having someone who knows how to read an audiobook can only benefit the book. You can still petition Chet over at Third Man Books to release a compilation of all my fuck-ups and burps from the version I recorded, if that’s something you want to hear, like, I don’t know, while you’re falling asleep at night.

Anyway, the next iteration of stuff for the book seems to be a season of book clubs. And I’m pretty excited about that. If you’re in a book club and you’re reading Dynamite Nashville, I might be joining you. If I’m not but you’d like me to join you, I would love to. Just ask. If you’d just like the experience of having me there without needing an extra chair, maybe that’s a good use for the hypothetical fuck-ups and burps compilation? I don’t know. Maybe?
