Today is the publication day for Jimmy: The Secret Life of James Dean. It’s been a long road to publication, from the first inklings of an idea for the book in the pandemic spring of 2020 to the finished product, hitting retailers today. I am immensely proud of this book, and I am excited for all of you to have the opportunity to read it.
As I celebrate my book’s release, I want to extend my thanks to my agent, Lee Sobel, who believed in Jimmy when no one else did; to Chris Chappell and Emily Burr, my editors at Applause Books, whose insightful editing and tireless work on behalf of this project made it possible; to Dave Holmes and Kelly Stout at Esquire, who allowed me to write about James Dean for the magazine as proof of concept; and to everyone else who contributed in ways large and small to the research that went into Jimmy. To help launch the book, I’ve made the introduction available for free on my website in the new Jimmy section of the site. I have also compiled a page which I will continue to update with media coverage of the book, including recent stories in The Daily Mail, The New York Post, and more. You can buy your copy of Jimmy at your favorite retailer or by using the links below.

The Dean story has been picked up by the international press. Your problem is to translate that into book sales. Good luck.
