My New Novel: Official Release Date is Today!

Quick note to let everyone know that today is the official release date for my new novel, AFTER THE WORKSHOP. It should be at your local bookseller by now....I hope. It's mentioned in the March issue of Vanity Fair!

You can find information about the book on my website under BUZZ. Also, information about my BOOK TOUR is up as well.

Thanks!

John Hi, John, how are you? I saw you have a new book Ghosts of Chicago--short stories. Any of them about Polish Americans? I collect any kind of Pol Am stuff.
