It’s sort of like running a race, and I’m on the final lap. The crowds are standing up as I come around that last curve, cheering me on.

Yeah. In other words, the book is edited and done.  It has been sent to the book distributor to be formatted.  The cover has been approved. Sometime in the next week or so, the book will be available on Amazon.com as an ebook through Kindle. It will also be available for preview/presale through the Book Expo in New York City June 5-7th.

Within the next few weeks, it will also be distributed on Apple’s Ipad, Copia, Gardners, Barnes and Noble’s Nook, Sony Reader, Kobo, Baker & Taylor and Ebookpie. Some distributors will take a few weeks to get this online, others can set this up in 5-10 business days.

But, it’s finally done. I’m speaking at Quakertown Library next Saturday, June 2nd. If you’re in the area, please come out and join us. We’d love to see you there. It will be an interesting talk. After that, my editor continues querying agents for regular publishers, so the book will eventually come out as a print book as well.

Look for Zehbel: The Clever One/An American Family’s Adventures in Iran, online soon!
