Everywhere books are sold

Welcome to Eureka Springs: The I-Sh*t-You-Not History of America’s Quirkiest Town is now available in ebook, audiobook, and paperback just about everywhere books are sold online.

My first two launch events were a blast. I really enjoyed seeing old friends, making new ones, and sharing stories from the book.

The first, at Main Street Eureka Springs on August 29, focused on the special edition paperback with color photos. It’s only available locally, at a little more than a dozen locations.

The second, at the Gravel Bar on August 30, focused on the audiobook. A different Eureka Springs resident narrates each chapter, creating a unique and magical listening experience.

From left are Anji Johnson, Shiloh Grace, Ethan Avanzino, Shawn Fouste (or at least the top of his head), Zeek Taylor, Carrie Marry, Jude Gaillot, Kricket Gaillot, Wendi La Fey, Arjay Josephine, Robin Bray, and Keith Brenton.

The final launch event starts at 5:30PM this Thursday at the Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow. At that one, I’m going to read three chapters about Eurekan women who changed the world. Then, I’ll sit down for an interview with the Colony’s Destaney Marie and an audience Q&A.

If you need another reason to come out Thursday, you will be tempted by small bites prepared by the Colony’s legendary in-house chef Jana Jones. More than one resident poet has written an ode to her cooking.

A portion of the proceeds from any sales will benefit the Colony, a nonprofit where I am honored to serve as board president.

Don't miss out!
