Today I walked out to my building’s lobby only to find a finished copy of So Much to Say waiting for me. After two years, hundreds of interviews and story submissions, thousands of miles traveled for book-related stuff, lots of edits, and more amazing experiences than I count, it’s crazy to have a finished book in my hands.

Publication is still a little less than a month away (June 7), but we’ve got a few goodies on the way before then, compliments of Simon & Schuster. Stay tuned here and to your local DMB fan sites for more information, coming soon. I’ve also added the promo video for the book on the Media page. I hate cameras, so this part of it was much more daunting to me than actually writing the book–seriously.

Some of you have asked if the book is going to be available on iBooks. I checked with my editor today and the answer is yes. The pre-order link for iBooks is here, though the pre-order button may not be working quite yet (but will be in a couple days). It’s also available via Kindle and Nook. Also, for those of you who have asked if this will be published in hardcover, the answer is no–just paperback and ebook formats.

Finally, not to sound like a broken record, but thanks so much to all of you who participated by interviewing, submitting your stories, or just sending sweet emails. Even if you’re not specifically quoted in the book, every single person I talked to had something to do with the final manuscript. In the end, my problem was (seriously) having too much good stuff and having to edit out some stories and quotes I really loved. Really, there was enough stuff to write something the size of a phone book!
