Randy Richardson’s “Cheeseland” is officially coming out on May 29, and until then we’re counting down the days by telling you more about it.
The first half of the novel takes place in 1979/1980 in Chicago and involves a roadtrip across the border into “Cheeseland”. Richardson really captures this era. It comes to life on the page.
Don’t take our word for it. We asked former Loop disc jockey Mitch Michaels to give us his take on “Cheeseland”. Mitch was one of the biggest voices on the Chicago radio dial, an icon to the teenagers featured in this book. If you lived in Chicago at the time, you remember Mitch Michaels “doing the cruise” every afternoon on FM 98. His voice is featured in this commercial from the era…
Here’s what Mitch had to say after reading “Cheeseland”: “Randy has opened a portal and invited us to cross back to the way it really used to be, those days of youthful rebellion, reckless abandon, and the promise of radical yet real reconciliation. A fun read and a great ride.”
We couldn’t have said it better ourselves, Mitch.
“Cheeseland” is available for pre-order now. Order it here! It ships on May 29.
