New Johnny Cash Book

My book, Literary Cash: Writings Inspired by the Legendary Johnny Cash, is scheduled for release in January 2007.

I view the book as a kind of tribute album on paper by a group of writers who love JC.

Here's the blurb from Amazon:
"The legendary lyrics of Johnny Cash are the inspiration for this collection of extraordinarily creative works that provides a new spin on this musical legend. For nearly five decades, Cash captivated audiences with his unique voice and candid portrayal of the gritty life of a working man, and his songs continue to strike a chord with listeners today. But it is the stories behind the music that remain with audiences and provide the inspiration for the work in this thoughtful compilation of fiction [and nonfiction] from contributors such as Lauren Baratz-Logsted, Don Cusic, Gretchen Moran Laskas, Amanda Nowlin, and Russell Rowland."
