The countdown begins
And... exhale. Exactly eighteen months after selling my book, I've just turned in the manuscript. Rapture Ready! Adventures in the Strange Parallel Universe of Christian Pop Culture (as it's now, but not necessarily permanently, being called) will be published in a little less than one year. Sometime before that I'll be creating a large, multimedia companion/promotion site. In the meantime, I've created the following teaser — an interactive map showing the location of every place I visited during my research. For now, it's intentionally cryptic. As time goes on, I'll add details, photos and more. Thanks for putting up with me for the last year and a half — and the coming one.

Congratulations! This calls for a celebration. Here's a razor, you part the C, and I'll get the wine...

Hearty congratulations! I definitely have to try that "selling the book before I write it" thing one of these days.

Oddly, one of those blue thingies is pointing directly at my house. Really, my deed specifies that exact pixel.
I must have been out that day, though.

Hey, I've come late to the party via the anti-caption contest but I couldn't be happier for you then if I'd been there from day one.
All the best!

So I assume this means you'll be ready for some more Guitar Hero soon?

Daniel, FINALLY! It's been a long time coming and we've missed you as you were constantly bent over your work. I hope the editing goes well and we see you soon. You'll have fun reintroducing yourself to the twins!
Good job kiddo.

You know I'll be first in line for my (free) copy! I can't wait to read it.

Congratulations, Daniel! It sounds like an extremely fun, if extremely disturbing, book.
With this off your plate you can now redirect your attention and do a better job at judging the anti-caption contests.
