Copies of "Living as a River" have arrived! I should hold a copy in my hand in the next day or two! http://fb.me/Hn8rTzxD #
My wife has a theory that Charlie and the Chocolate factory is a retelling of Dante's Inferno. Sometimes she's too smart for me. #
I love that woman, #
I think that tomorrow I may well be holding a copy of Living as a River. There's one on the way from Sounds True! #

It’s been a long wait, but copies of my book have arrived in the Sounds True offices, and a copy is now on its way to me. I’m hoping they sent it overnight. They probably did, since the crew at the True are exceptionally kind and generous…
