Three Days and Counting - Vindicate's Release
Dear Friend and Reader,
It’s almost here. Finally. The beginning of a new chapter. The passing of the torch, so to speak, from Joe to Jack. Vindicate, the 11th Dillard book and the 1st Jack Dillard novel, comes out in three days (Tuesday, June 3rd).
It’s strange how book launches have changed with Dad gone. When he was here, he’d be on pins and needles in the days leading up to a book’s release. Nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. I, on the other hand, would be supremely confident. I’d tell him over and over, “Don’t worry, man. People are going to love this book.” Thankfully, I was mostly right.
I get his trepidation, now.
While I’m confident this is a worthy, riveting addition to the Dillard saga, there’s still that little shred of doubt, that malevolent whisper in the back of my mind. You don’t know what you’re doing. You’re dishonoring your Dad’s legacy. Fraud.
Maybe we all have those thoughts. I’d be shocked if I’m not having them twenty years from now. Still, when I take a step back and objectively look at the work we’ve created with Vindicate, I can’t help but think that 1) this is a damn good book, and 2) Dad would be proud of this.
Thank you for, once again, staying the course with me. Getting this thing out there has taken longer than I had hoped (I know…shocking). I’m sorry for that. But I’m proud of the work and believe you’ll enjoy it.
I’ll leave you by asking a small favor. If you enjoy the book, please rate and/or review it. Tell your friends about it. Tell your kids about it. Tell that maddening relative about it. Tell the lady at the drive-thru about it. Tell your cats and dogs about it 
Seriously, though, I would appreciate your help spreading the word. This book is the start of a new journey, and I’ll need your assistance to get the train out of the station.
Cheers to new beginnings, and to you, dear reader, for coming along for the ride. This book is a wild one.
Much love to you and yours,
Dylan
