Larry Baker and "The Education of Nancy Adams"

Iowa City writer Larry Baker had a block-buster hit with "The Flamingo Rising," in 1997.  But publishing has changed since then, and in his subsequent novels, Larry has searched for some innovative ways to get his books widely distributed.  With his new novel, "The Education of Nancy Adams," he's once again chosen North Liberty's Ice Cube Press, with an early limited release just in Iowa in April and May and an initial run of only 200 hardcover editions printed (and only available as an e-book on Amazon).  Larry talks to Charity about his new book and how was inspired by "The Education of Henry Adams," published in 1907.
