Life at These Speeds film released

Earlier this month, the feature film version of Life at These Speeds premiered. The film is titled 1 Mile to You, and it can be rented or bought from the standard online movie outlets. It is also being screened in selected cities.

My publisher is reissuing the paperback edition of Life at These Speeds to coincide with the film.

I should note that I cannot take any credit for the making of 1 Mile to You. The producers, director, actors, and the rest of hardworking and talented the cast and crew deserve all of the credit.

At this moment, I can reveal these actors:

Dear Readers: Please don't buy my books from Amazon.

In light of Amazon's ongoing bullying of publishers and authors, I would ask that readers please look elsewhere for copies of my books. Thank you.

Book Launch Reading in Iowa City

My first reading from I Will Not Leave You Comfortless will be Thursday, Oct. 11, at 7 p.m. at Prairie Lights Bookstore in Iowa City.  (I'll finish reading at 7:40-ish for those of you who want to get home for the vice-presidential debate.)

Here's a picture I took on my parents' farm in 2005 and which reminds me of the chapter "In the Dark."

Letters from a Hill Farm: The Cornbread Book by Jeremy Jackson


Not to distract you from a certain wonderful freshly published memoir, but there was a lovely blog post this week at Letters from a Hill Farm about my nearly ten-year-old wunderkind, The Cornbread Book.  Keep on truckin', little book.

Oh, and the blog header picture happens to be of a milkweed releasing its seeds.  And the publisher of I Will Not Leave You Comfortless happens to be called...Milkweed Editions.  Wow!
