Hello Jim Shepard fans! Apologies on my end for not being as diligent as I should be about blogging, but now I will be back with renewed enthusiasm because Jim’s book “You Think That’s Bad” will be released on March 22! (Which is also, coincidentally, my 30th birthday, so I am convinced that this will be a lucky year for me!)
So, in the meantime, go ahead and pre-order the book at Amazon or Powell’s or another bookstore of your choice, and check back here for more updates.
Also, please note that Jim Shepard will be doing a book tour this spring to promote his new collection. And I can’t stress enough that along with being a great writer, Jim Shepard is one of the FINEST readers alive today, and the chance to meet him in person is an experience not to be missed. If you don’t believe me, check out some of the videos I’ve posted on this blog and see for yourself. I’ll be publicizing his upcoming trips as much as possible, so please come and bring your friends, and prepare for a wonderful evening.
Your comments about his work, your experience of his work, etc. are always welcome and I will be happy to post them to this blog. Thank you for visiting and please keep in touch.
I have been a fan of Jim’s since I picked up “Like You’d Understand, Anyway” at my local library a couple years ago. I’m always checking the web for any interviews and the like about him. It was a godsend to locate this site and I look forward to coming here in the future. Keep up the good work!
