I still don’t quite believe it, but as of this morning, my ​novel is officially live and available everywhere books are sold​. Get your copy of Hello My Name is Sharkbait now!

Twenty-two years ago, this story began with a ​​dream to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail. Seven years ago, I set out on a journey from Georgia, chronicling my adventures from shelters, summits, and trail towns​ on my way to Maine. Today, that journey officially​ translates to a novel for all ages and adventure-seekers, and seeing it out in the world feels​ both humbling and deeply rewarding.

You can pick up a copy at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, and any major retailer or local bookseller (Amazon preferred). And check out HelloMyNameIsSharkBait.com​​ for details about the book, a sample chapter, and more about the path that led here. Or watch my official TV launch​ from Monday morning on Minnesota’s Fox 9 Good Day… which still doesn’t feel entirely real​!

While today marks the release, this is just the beginning. I’m already looking ahead to 2026 with plans for local book signings, author readings, and more​. This has been such an incredible journey in publishing, and I​ can’t wait to keep sharing this story beyond the printed page.

Thank you for the encouragement, support, and belief along the way. This moment belongs to more people than just me​, and I hope you enjoy the story!

And thank you for the Amazon 5-star review… seriously, it’s worth its wait in gold.

Hello Neiman!
