WHAT IS THIS BOOK ABOUT? College, without the papers and exams. University of Days is a small Christian liberal arts school, founded by a tobacco farmer who dropped out after ninth grade. A century later, the faculty, staff, and students there are facing new challenges, and wrestling with old ghosts.

WHO WOULD LIKE THIS BOOK? Readers who enjoy small towns, college pranks, quirky characters, and mixed motives.

WHEN WILL IT BE AVAILABLE? University of Days will launch in the spring/summer of 2013. Before that, you can read a few chapters by visiting the Preview page.

DOES UNIVERSITY OF DAYS HAVE ANY SURPRISES? What sort of surprises?

MYSTERIES, RIDDLES, DANCING BEARS–THAT SORT OF THING. Dancing bears?

OK, SO MAYBE DANCING BEARS AREN’T SURPRISING ANY MORE. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. Well, then, yes: there are some surprises.

LIKE WHAT? How could it be a surprise if you hear about it before reading the book?

GOOD POINT. Thanks.

SO MAYBE IT’S BEST JUST TO READ THE WHOLE BOOK, AND SEE WHAT’S IN IT? That might be for the best.

THANKS. Sure.

DID YOU SAY WHEN CAN I START READING IT? The whole book won’t be ready until May/June of this year, but you can get a preview here…
