Ran 3 miles came back to find my dad standing on the edge of the street, where they've been ripping sod up to widen the road. A ridge of mud and soil.
Dad says, "They brought these 4 big boxes for you. Big boxes." He measures it out. "Boy they were heavy as hell."
I went inside and took the box back to the room where I stayed when the hurricane hit my apartment, sopping wet with sweat. I took my clothes off and opened the box.
I looked at the books a couple minutes then wrapped in a towel and took one down the hall to my mom. She told me congratulations and opened it also. I went outside and jumped in the pool. I jumped in at a good angle and stayed under as long as I could.
Scorch Atlas will be in stores in September from Featherproof.

Did I read this wrong, or were you naked when you first saw your book? There seems something perfect about that but really only for you and Scorch Atlas, not other authors and their books.
Outstanding, Blake. Congrats.
Excellent . . .
Please tell me you put some clothes on before running downstairs to your mother.
Congratulations -- the cover is gorgeous.
thanks friendses
YES.
that book looks soooo good
Badass.
fuck that is one handsome book. congratulatory words.
my excitement for this book is a five star rating on goodreads.
Cannot wait. My left leg is bouncing as I look at those pictures. Each book should come with a book of used matches.
Utinni!
Beautiful! I can't wait to get it.
Shit, man. Congratulations. Absolutely absolute. Is there any way to get a hold of this before September? Through you or Featherproof or anything? I don't know if I can wait that long. I mean, because I have brain cancer and am going to die before September. I'm kidding but I'm that excited.
more thankses to more friends
matthew, yes there are several sneaky ways
we will have them for sale on the dollar store tour if you are in any of these areas...

Are you not coming to Chicago for the tour? Damn.
Do you have a gold box? I'll trade you my gold box for a copy of scorch atlas.
looking forward to the book (beautiful design by the way) and the dollarstore stop in philadelphia.

Please pick me to win the contest, even if it isn't fair. Otherwise I will order the book for money out of spite.

I can't wait to thumb it and strum it.

david, yeah, had to skip chicago, as it was 5 days before the next date, and i would have liked to just hang out in chicago for that long, but would have been hard... bummer
i will, though, surely have a chicago book release party later this year, i believe

Cleveland is a dead-zone.

Y'RE IT.
I looked at the books a couple minutes then wrapped in a towel and took one down the hall to my mom. She told me congratulations and opened it also. I went outside and jumped in the pool. I jumped in at a good angle and stayed under as long as I could.
