This Book I Wrote

Email from my agent the day “Montaigne In Barn Boots” deal was struck.

My latest book is out today. I don’t know what to do but keep writing them. This one might not be for everybody. I’ll take that chance. Oh, it’s goofy. Funny and whatnot. With chickens. And hope. Especially at the end. A good dose of hope. But in between, I did a little varnish stripping. I felt it was time. We’ll see.

Fifteen years gone since Population 485 hit print. Eleven books later, here comes Montaigne in Barn Boots. You work and work and then you turn them loose. Already I’m chipping away at number twelve. I am driven by my gratitude for being allowed to do this at all.

Reader, thank you.
