Acapulco is officially one-year-old. I published the book on July 1st, 2021, and it has been a whirlwind of a year. Thank you so much for the love and support. I couldn’t have done it without you. Seriously. Here are some highlights from the past year:

I had some amazing book events at super cool venues. Here are a few of my favorites:

• Wolverine Farm Publick House in Fort Collins, Colorado
• Ginger and Baker in Fort Collins, Colorado
• Galway Bay Irish Pub in Pawtucket, Rhode Island

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by journalist Jon Baker from The Pawtucket Times before my book signing event at The Galway. I have to say, having been a paperboy for The Times, writing a story about a paperboy, then being interviewed by The Times about the book was pretty surreal. The Valley Breeze, another Rhode Island newspaper, also published a great piece about the book.

It’s always fun to be a guest on a podcast and I love talking about the writing process. Here are a few of my favorite appearances:

• FoCo in Under Five
• The Bartholomewtown Podcast
• The Rotunda

Thanks to you, Acapulco has a 5-star rating on Amazon and 18 reviews. I’d love some more. If you read the book and enjoyed it, please leave a review.

I hope your 4th of July is filled with burgers, hot dogs, and illegal M80s.
