Meeting the Book

I got to meet my book today. Zondervan rush-shipped a few boxes of the books straight from the printer to the Ligonier Ministries National Conference where I’m hanging out for the next few days. So as soon as I got here, I went over to the bookstore to check it out. Lukas and Susannah VanDyke happened to be there and just for kicks they snapped a couple of photos.

So here I am, meeting The Next Story.

When you say “rush shipped”, I trust you mean FedEx, not the guys in brown. ;)

Congrats Tim. Looking forward to reading it.

My comment in number 3 with link to website is wrong place. It should be different one. That is why I added here. Forgive me for being annoying with this msg.

I just added it to my wish list on Amazon.com.

Congratulations. I wish I could meet you at the conference. I have attended a few Ligonier conferences.

Tim, it’s kind of like having a baby. But one you already, somehow, know.

My book just went to the printer too: http://facebook.com/blackberrynovel

I thought it would be a more intimate meeting… one lone copy delivered to your home, preferably by courier, and you cracking the spine, leafing through pages, recognizing again your little pixels all grown up into real printed words. But no. Big hubbub, 100s other books, a thousand other eyes looking on. Kind of over-romanticized the whole author thing. Congratulations.
