Things continue to heat up here at the old writing desk with deadlines looming and release dates on the horizon.
I had quite the surprise the other day when my latest hiking guide, Hiking Alabama 5th Edition, showed up on my doorstep - three month early!
The book looks great. The editors at Falcon out did themselves on this one. This edition has many new hikes, plenty of updates to old favorites, and as always, all of the details you need to hike 50+ of the best hikes in the state.
The book is available at your favorite online and hometown bookstore or you can pick up an autographed copy by clicking here.
Meanwhile, the release of the new book, Space Oddities: Forgotten Stories of Mankind's Exploration of Space, is getting closer. As I wait for the release date, I'm continuing work on the Space Oddities podcast. The podcast will premier on April 25th with an episode being released bi-weekly up to the book release on August 15th. I'll be posting the link to the podcast page soon.
The latest episode I am working on deals with the intersection of pop-culture (particularly the music) and the early days of the space program. Oh, there are some real gems out there. I do love this one in particular. It's a blues tune from 1957 by Roosevelt "Honeydripper" Sykes called "Satellite Baby".
Enjoy!
