BOY UNDERGROUND is Here!
Catherine Ryan Hyde
Today is a a special day.
As I write this, it’s Monday the 6th. That’s the day any preordered ebook copies of Boy Underground will start dropping onto Kindles and other devices, usually around 9:00 at night. Chances are by the time you receive this email it will be Tuesday the 7th, the release day for BOY UNDERGROUND.
I have to go on record as saying this is one of my favorites of mine. Theoretically authors don’t have favorites, but I more or less do. And Boy Underground either ties with Luis Velez as my favorite, or knocks it just barely out of the top spot.
I also want to briefly mention the audiobook. If you’re at all a fan of audio, I hope you’ll give this one a try. I’ve never done this before, but I got an idea in my head of someone who would be perfect to narrate this one. I asked my publisher, and they reached out and got him. He’s the actor Dan Butler. I had mostly known him as a comedy actor, probably best known for playing Bob “Bulldog” Briscoe on the Frasier series. But when I heard him narrate the James Baldwin classic “Giovanni’s Room,” I knew he was the right voice. I really experienced emotion while listening to this audio in a way I usually don’t when listening to my own books. I hope you’ll give it a try and share any thoughts you might have.
Thank you for being my reader, and for subscribing to this blog. I hope you enjoy the new novel as much as I enjoyed sharing it with you.
As always, happy reading!
