Howdy from across the pond!
I am hopeful that some of you will remember me from this thread last year: Journey of an Englishman at Texas A&M and my blog: Footballosophy
It's been far too long but I am delighted/relieved/exhausted to finally announce that after several months of trying to get the book over the line and readily available, Marooned in Aggieland: A Bumbling Brit Discovers College Football, Guns N' Waffles is officially out now via Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
I'll keep it short and sweet as if you buy a copy, you will be treated to more than enough of my ramblings, but I have loved every minute of working on this project and even though it has been ten months since I returned home, there isn't a day that goes by when I don't fondly remember my time in College Station. I can only hope and pray that Aggies enjoy the book as much as I did living through/writing it. I also want to thank the team at TexAgs and everyone on here for their support during the process. It's been a bloody blast!
Blurb: Four weeks after the London Olympics, a bored, jaded and remarkably unsuccessful sports-comedy writer sat down to watch college football for the first time. Little did he know, in twelve months he would trek across the pond and live through a heavy chunk of the 2013 season. The destination? An American state that is five times the size of his homeland. During this heart-warming expedition into Aggieland's spirited maroon seas, he humorously embraces the infamous traditions, pageantry and stark cultural differences that encompass Texas A&M University and college football. Throw in 450 pints of beer, gun-wielding Houston gang members and a polarizing Heisman Trophy winner, and you're still barely scratching the surface of an oblivious Brit's truly unique story.
