Just wanted to let everyone know that Ballast has begun shipping your preorders! So American Grunt is on the way. Hopefully sometime in the next week or two. Let me know if you don't get your copy by the end of August because that probably means something went wrong - like your book was on a FedEx plane that went down in the South Pacific and now a bearded guy with a volleyball is using it for a pillow or something.

As always, if you read it and enjoy it, please let people know! And don't be afraid to let me know when you get your copy. As an author, seeing your book in other places that isn't your own kitchen is amazing.

You're all awesome. Keep being awesome and thank you for your patience at this weirdly convoluted way of getting my work out into the world.
