On track for summer release

Four years. That’s how long I’ve been working on Welcome to Eureka Springs: The I-Sh*t-You-Not History of America’s Quirkiest Town.

When I started, I had no idea what I was getting into. I thought I’d be done in a year.

Well, the end is finally in sight. I’m on track for a summer release for the print and ebook editions. The first 50 of the book’s 60 short chapters are in the hands of the designer. I expect to finish the final 10 next month.

The audiobook edition might get a separate release date. That one has the fun twist that a different Eureka Springs area resident will narrate each chapter.

Today, we hit the halfway mark when Wendi La Fey became the 30th narrator, a little more than a year after Shawn Fouste became the first.

The audiobook project has become more fun and meaningful than I could have imagined. The whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts. I’m looking forward to when I can finally share it!
