(You can still read our review and an excerpt from the book.) I wrote Joe Nick and asked him how the book is doing. Here's some of what he had to say: He writes: "I taped Bob Edwards on XM on Friday and an hour later went on live on Bill Mack's Open Road truckers show on XM. Bill loves the book and has Willie on to take calls from truckers every Wednesday. Evidently, Willie spoke very highly about the book on the show, according to Bill, which is sweet considering it was unauthorized. Ex wives, one of the daughters, favorite nephew, and old friends have weighed in. My favorites were Jackie Clements and Faye Dell Clements. Faye Dell was Willie's girlfriend in high school before she began dating Jackie. Willie always said Jackie got Faye Dell because he had a car. Anyhow, I dropped a book off on Monday and Friday Jackie called. 'Faye Dell wants to talk to you,' he said, handing the phone to Faye Dell. "She said, 'I just wanted to tell you I've read the book straight through. The only time I've done that before is John Grisham's first novel.' She approved of the work, and I figured if anyone knew Willie Hugh, she did. " |
