for immediate release!
If you just felt a huge disturbance in The Force, that was me checking my e-mail and sending out an Akira-like Neo-Tokyo-destroying mental explosion of joy.
This is really happening!

Geek + Blogger + Actor = Author Wil Wheaton
O'Reilly Releases "Dancing Barefoot"Sebastopol, CA--Not all geeks are into sci-fi, and not all sci-fi fans are geeks, but there's enough of a crossover to explain the appeal of Wil Wheaton -- self-proclaimed geek, blogger, and former ensign Wesley Crusher on "Star Trek: The Next Generation." Even non-sci-fi fans have been drawn to the candid, highly personal, and occasionally opinionated account of his life that Wheaton offers on his blog at www.wilwheaton.net. The reason? While it's true that in the grand scheme of things, the reflections and musings of the typical blogger-geek-actor-turned-book-author are not expected to be momentous, Wheaton writes with an honesty and disarming humanity that resonates with geeks and non-geeks alike.
In his book "Dancing Barefoot" (O'Reilly, US $14.95), Wheaton offers a collection of five short but true stories about life in the so-called space age. Based on pieces first published in his blog, the stories in "Dancing Barefoot" chronicle a teen TV star's journey to maturity and self-acceptance. Far from the usual celebrity tell-all, the book is a vivid account of one man's version of that universal story--the search for self. If you've ever fallen in love, wondered what goes on behind the scenes at a Star Trek convention, or thought hard about the meaning of life, you'll find a kindred soul in the pages of "Dancing Barefoot." In the process of uncovering his true geek self, Wil Wheaton speaks to the inner geek in all of us.
Like many authors, Wheaton hadn't considered writing a book until the idea was suggested to him, and even then he resisted. As he explains, "I sort of know Dan Perkins, who draws 'This Modern World.' I linked to one of his brilliant comics on my web site, and he emailed me about it. We exchanged several notes over a few months, and one day he said, 'You ought to write a book about your experiences.'
"I never considered myself a writer, and told him that. Dan pointed out that I'd been writing for my weblog almost daily. This fact sat in my brain for a long time, and I did everything I could to ignore it." In spite of his intentions, many visitors to his site encouraged Wheaton to write a book, and the suggestion became harder to disregard. He finally decided to collect a year's worth of blog entries from WWdN (Wil Wheaton dot Net) and publish it. "I figured I'd sell ten, maybe even fifteen of them at a Star Trek convention or something," says Wheaton.
"I cut and pasted the web site for a few days, and then wrote some behind the scenes stuff to tie all the weblog ideas together, narrative-style," Wheaton recalls. "In my head, I heard some strange voice -- it was like Danny Stern's 'Wonder Years' VO meets the 'Behind the Music' guy.
"I worked on that for about a week, and I had about 50,000 words. I realized that there was sort of a character arc in there, where 'Wil' went on this quest to cast off Wesley Crusher and find out exactly who he was. A few weeks later, I had several hundred thousand words, and it was looking like a freakin' phone book. My friend Andrew said, 'Don't put all your best work in your first book.' It was very good advice, and I cut out a bunch of stories that I liked, but weren't central to the story. Those stories became 'Dancing Barefoot.'"
The five stories in "Dancing Barefoot" are:
Houses in Motion--Memories fill the emptiness left within a childhood
home, and saying goodbye brings them to life.Ready Or Not Here I Come--A game of hide-n-seek with the kids works as a
time machine, taking Wil on a tour of the hiding and seeking of years gone by.Inferno--Two fifteen-year-olds pass in the night leaving behind pleasant
memories and a perfumed Car Wars Deluxe Edition Box Set.We Close Our Eyes--A few beautiful moments spent dancing in the rain.
The Saga of SpongeBob VegasPants--A story of love, hate, laughter, and the
acceptance of all things Trek.First self-published by Wheaton in May 2003, available only on the Internet and in select independent bookstores, "Dancing Barefoot" quickly sold out of its first run of 3,000. Wheaton's next, longer work, "Just a Geek" will be released in early summer 2004.
Praise for "Dancing Barefoot":
"I just put down Dancing Barefoot. Simply put, it was terrific. If you are a fan of Wil's Weblog, WWdN, then you will love this book. It's only 117 pages from cover to cover, but it is definitely worth getting...I really want to talk about the stories a lot more, but I think it would be cruel to take away anyone's chance to read it for themselves. I give the weblog 4 spuds out of 4. Enjoy!"

Posted by: Lawless1 at March 11, 2004 10:18 AMGreat news, and great work! Continued success Mr. Wheaton!

Posted by: Hillary at March 11, 2004 10:26 AM"Just a Geek"...and so much more.
Congratulations Sir.
More Kudos for a job well done!
Posted by: Darren at March 11, 2004 10:35 AMWelcome to the O'Reilly Team, Wil!
Posted by: Randal L. Schwartz at March 11, 2004 10:35 AMW00t! Congrats on seeing your toil and enduring optimistic outlook congeal into a success! I look forward to the opportunity to get a copy and have you sign it in the near future!
Posted by: Kristen at March 11, 2004 10:36 AMWhen Stand by Me came out, I was too young to know any of the actors' names, and I seldom give a rat's ass about science fiction. I say that only to point out that the first way I knew you was as a writer, and as a writer myself, I'm always in awe. You are an incredible talent, Wil. You deserve all the good things that happen to you, both personally and professionally.
Posted by: Amy at March 11, 2004 10:41 AMWee Ha Wil ! My book should be arriving any day now, I can't wait to read it. Congratulations, you have worked hard and you deserve the praise.
Posted by: Lorraine at March 11, 2004 10:46 AMSummer of '04 for JAG? Aw man, I'm tired of waiting. Now I better go put my signed first edition of Dancing Barefoot someplace safe.
Posted by: phriedom at March 11, 2004 10:49 AMAwesome, Wil! I'm on Kathryn's press list, so got this yesterday. Now just waiting for answers to a couple of questions from her... such as, "Are there any substantial differences between editions?"
Posted by: Mark H. Anbinder at March 11, 2004 10:51 AMAfter a couple years of lurking about your site, I have to say, "Gosh, you're all, like, a real writer now! :)"
All that hard work *does* pay off in the end!
Posted by: Girl Montag at March 11, 2004 10:58 AMbooyah Wil!
Posted by: C at March 11, 2004 10:59 AMWoo-hoo! All the finger-crossing has worked. It's very cool to finally realize that, like you said, it's actually HAPPENING. Congrats, Wil.
Posted by: Winona at March 11, 2004 11:00 AMGreat job Wil! I'm glad you're finally getting the success you've toiled after all these years.
Now, you need to start thinking about what you'll write next! Keep the books coming!
Posted by: Chad Douglas at March 11, 2004 11:00 AMI could not be any more proud of you than I am right now, Wil! It's finally come to pass.... And you have been so cool to include us all in this momentous event!
Thank you!
Jeannette
I guess this means I can no longer be lazy. I will go down to B&N and pick one up. :-)
Summer '04? Damn, good luck on finishing!
Posted by: Grimicus at March 11, 2004 11:18 AMWil, you rawk!! \m/ and then some. Congratulations!
Posted by: Abby at March 11, 2004 11:19 AMNICE announcement, congrats, Wil.
Posted by: Bill Bekkenhuis at March 11, 2004 11:19 AMUgh. Too bad the press release has to mention Tom Tomorrow. That leaves a bad taste in my mouth. That guy just ain't right.
Posted by: ToastedAmigo at March 11, 2004 11:23 AMWil, what way is the best way to purchase the book so that you get the most benefit of it? i.e. is it better to purchase direct from Oreilly so that you get the most money? or better to purchase from Amazon so that you're pushed up in sales rank? please let me know =D
Posted by: Dea at March 11, 2004 11:25 AMThat is so awesome wil!
*does the happy dance*
Congrats!
Posted by: Neph at March 11, 2004 11:27 AMWhoo-hoo! [air guitar]
Kick ass!
I shall be picking up a copy as soon as I can, and will be sporting it to Penguicon for a autograph.
Congratulations! May this be a launching point for ever better things to come.
Posted by: Craig Steffen at March 11, 2004 11:31 AMCongratulations Wil! I am so happy for you. That's a great press release and I wish you many, many editions of DB and JAG, as well as all of your future work.

Posted by: Leah at March 11, 2004 11:50 AMSweeeet! I ordered a copy of the book a few days ago from Amazon. *taps finger* Eagerly waiting for my copy to get here! :D
Posted by: Chris at March 11, 2004 11:58 AMI ordered my copy yesterday from amazon.co.uk as a treat after a tough week (my husband had a health scare, so I thought it was something we could both enjoy - me first!), so now I'm really looking forward to receiving it, hopefully on Monday!
Best
*dances around happily*
^_^
I know you're more excited than I am, no question, but... I'm excited. ^_^ Do you have any clue as to the ETA?
Umm... Ignore my last message. I guess it was published last month. ^_^;
Must pout in parents' general direction?
(As a parent, what's my best tactic?)
Well timed.. My Copy of Dancing Barefoot arrived from amazon TODAY! I was actualy checking WWDN to see if the arrival of my personal copy was noted...
Congrats Wil.
And now I have something to read in the waiting room during my dads Valve replacement..

Posted by: JasonR at March 11, 2004 12:21 PMYou rock! Congrats and kudos! I am so happy for you, and proud to be one of your blog people. You are a true champ!
Posted by: Kroeme at March 11, 2004 12:21 PMWil, the autographed copy of "DB" that I received from you at the 2003 Trek Expo in Tulsa is and continues to be one of my most treasured, valuable keepsakes. Not only did I read the book several times, but I also related many of the stories to my wife who also enjoyed them. The book now resides in a secret location in my home under tight security where no one can see it and no light can ruin it's luster....er, um...sorry about that. Thanks again for allowing me the honor and privelidge of meeting you and your wonderful wife and I hope you can return to a future Trek Expo sometime soon. Take care!
Greg in Tulsa
Posted by: Greg at March 11, 2004 12:27 PMYAY! It's happy dance time! Congrats, Wil! :^)
Posted by: clara at March 11, 2004 12:45 PMAt moments like these, I wish I could whip out some immortal words to mark the occasion.
But I guess we aren't all blessed with your talent and perseverence (is there an 'a' in that word? It looks funny). So I'll just stick with a cliched, yet heartfelt,
Congratulations Wil!
Posted by: tjeu at March 11, 2004 12:53 PMDude! Congrats!
Posted by: Astra at March 11, 2004 12:56 PMI agree your blog is instresting to read. If I don't always agree with everything that you say. Your blog is a good read. Congrats to you and your web blog.
Posted by: Sherrie at March 11, 2004 01:00 PMCongrats, Wil! That's great news.
I knew I should have picked up a copy from the original run when I had a chance...
Posted by: Jason at March 11, 2004 01:07 PMFuckin' sweet! Now maybe I'll actually be able to lay my hands on a copy!
Posted by: Jon at March 11, 2004 01:09 PMIt made me smile when I got that email from O'Reilly this morning. Since then, I've been trying to figure out how to justify purchasing a copy for my academic library collection. "But it's published by O'Reilly, and the Computer Science department likes their books!" I don't know if that one will work....
Posted by: Anna at March 11, 2004 01:13 PMWow, you got your very own ISBN. You know you hit the big time when you get your very own International Standard Book Number. Congrats!
Posted by: brandon at March 11, 2004 01:36 PMWil,
Just last night I received my O'Reilly & Associates; 1st Edition edition copy of Dancing Barefoot form Amazon.com. I can't wait to get home from work tonight to start reading it. Congratulations on all your success.

Posted by: Cartman at March 11, 2004 02:34 PMHey Wil, I've never posted in the comments section before, but I wanted to say that I ordered Dancing Barefoot off of amazon and I'm waiting eagerly for my copy to reach my house. I'm also waiting eagerly for Just a Geek. Keep up the good work Wil!

Rach
Can you give me some tips on dealing with that level of joy? I'm about to release my own book in May. :)
Posted by: Darren at March 11, 2004 03:13 PMCongratulations, Wil! A great moment to savor!
Posted by: Rainey at March 11, 2004 03:25 PMI read this and the first thing I thought was "Holy shit, this guy is from Sebastopol!"
I lived there for 15 years and I have great memories of the place.
(Not-so-fond memories of Analy High School, though. I really hated that school - so much that I went to Cardinal Newman for three years and got a part time job in high school to pay my own way :)
Oh and congratulations! Rock on with your bad self.
Posted by: gconnor at March 11, 2004 03:28 PMI just talked to Kathryn, hopefully we'll be able to work out a time that we can have you on Taste of the Goods. I'm going to order my copy of the book tonight!
Posted by: Scott at March 11, 2004 03:46 PMShine on you crazy diamond!!!
Posted by: angela peterson at March 11, 2004 03:57 PMSo [when] will we be able to order "Dancing Barefoot" at Amazon, find it at Barnes and Noble, all that good stuff.
Posted by: Mark at March 11, 2004 04:00 PMDid you doubt it would ever happen? We told you so. :)
Posted by: angry penguin at March 11, 2004 04:07 PMRock!
Posted by: Golf Widow at March 11, 2004 04:13 PMWil,
You've come a long way since we had DoubleDoubles @ In-N-Out in Burbank so many years ago!
Congrats!
Looking forward to book #3 :P
Be seeing you,
"'o.o'"

OK, that's a bit weird. That's the book Wil isn't quite ready to ready, since he's still working his way through the Llama I gave him (the prequel to the Alpaca). Oooh, the irony. {grin}
Posted by: Randal L. Schwartz at March 11, 2004 05:02 PMhey wil. my brother woke me up this afternoon by shoving a cardboardclad book into my face, and what else was it but your illustrious "dancing barefoot!" i squeeled in delight and had a geekorgasm when i read about your meeting WILLIAM FUCKING SHATNER for the first time. i felt like i was on the set with you....awesome book, and i can't wait for "just a geek." wheeeeeee!!!

Posted by: Little_Kenny at March 11, 2004 05:55 PMCongrats on getting your blog out there! I'm in the process of editing mine for publication and it's beginning to get quite challenging....how did you decide what to include in your "stories"?
Posted by: jennifer evonne at March 11, 2004 07:00 PMI'm so proud ot be a reader of this website. It's fun to remember the time my sister called me into her room and said, "Hey, Jen, look, Wil Wheaton has a website--and he's really funny!" and now I read it more than she does and you've become so much more successful and yeah. I'm just proud. And stuff.
Posted by: Jenny M. Finster at March 11, 2004 07:53 PMWil,
Congratulations! ?Como esta' frijoles? How have you bean? Just ordered your book from O'Reilly--

"The First Duty" of a Starfleet Cadet is to tell the truth, with your friend, Robbie McNeil.
Again, congratulations and thanks so much for sharing your life with us.
Your friend,

Posted by: Freeman in Louisiana at March 11, 2004 08:27 PMWil,
When did you decide to become a cool author after you grew up?
FG
Posted by: Fabian at March 11, 2004 09:50 PMIt's so praising, are you sure they're talking about YOUR book? :)
Dancing Barefoot even has a proper ISBN number now, how cool is that?!
Woot woot! Dude, I was sending you and Anne and your friend Kris karma all week! I think others must be too!
Congratulations! I'm gonna order your book next week after I get paid.
Posted by: Wolf at March 12, 2004 01:57 AMROCK! ON! WIL!
Congrats, dude, it's official. You're a big-time author! Kudos and happy mojo your way!
Posted by: Eric at March 12, 2004 03:06 AMWill this be available on O'Reilly's Safari Bookshelf?

Posted by: June Cleaver at March 12, 2004 06:44 AMKudos and validations to you Wil!
Now the rest of the world is finding out what your posse already knows......that you are one kick ass talented writer not just an actor. Damn! Does that mean we have to SHARE you now?
You deserve all the praise they give - keep up the awesome work.
Sharfa
Posted by: Sharfa at March 12, 2004 07:02 AMI just ordered Dancing Barefoot off Amazon.com. RAWK! \m/
Now if I can just get it signed...
Posted by: Mark Storer at March 12, 2004 08:21 AMYou're now immortal. Congrats.
Posted by: Pablo at March 12, 2004 08:39 AMDamn...I almost spit milk all over my keyboard when I saw this!!!
Okay, house-cleaning in the morning tomorrow; afternoon is going to be spent hitting every B&N in a 50-mile radius...
Oh, and the O'Reilly link reminded me that it's been a hell of a long time since I've looked at the "User Friendly" site...today's strip was great. :)
I have been a regular here since this site's very first days. Although I haven't posted alot and kinda dropped out of the soapbox, I just had to tell you congrats.
I'll be looking for the book shortly as I was unable to obtain a copy of the first run.
You deserve everything you have coming. :)
Posted by: Doc at March 12, 2004 09:01 AMWow...I need someone to wrote press releases like this for me...
Posted by: Thumper at March 12, 2004 09:57 AMWil, The book arrived yesterday and I stayed up late reading because I just couldn't put it down. I loved it. I cried when you cried about Aunt Val and I howled at Sponge Bob Vegas Pants. I can't wait for JAG. AUTHOR! AUTHOR! You rock.
Posted by: Lorraine at March 12, 2004 10:12 AMKick-ass, Wil! I don't get over here as often I used to because I'm so busy (we all have to put our Big Boy pants on sometime, right?), but I'm trying to catch up on things here. I'm glad to see the book(s) are about to launch.
I'll be sure to pick up Dancing Barefoot at my favorite independent bookstore. Everyone should support the indies, and they don't have it in stock, most stores worth their salt will order it in specially. Maybe we'll even get you up in Milwaukee for a book signing. I'll buy ya a nice local microbrew for you to try.
Peace out!
Posted by: Shaun at March 12, 2004 10:18 AM>Ugh. Too bad the press release has to mention >Tom Tomorrow. That leaves a bad taste in my >mouth. That guy just ain't right.
Neither is your use of English, Toasted Amigo... What's not right about Tom Tomorrow? He's funny, pointed, and oh so on top of what's wrong with this country right now. Kinda like Wil!
Maybe you'll like things better when even more people end up out of work, and all of our resources are spent on Dumbya's holy wars while the fundamentalists have complete control of our lives, telling us what to hear, watch, say and think. Tell me then how different we'll be from pre-"liberated" Iraq.
Posted by: Shaun at March 12, 2004 10:26 AMPardon me while I dance around (come to think of it, I'm barefoot as usual) in celebration. Congratulations!!
Posted by: 'Becca at March 12, 2004 11:59 AMWOO-HOO!!!!!
Posted by: Devil Girl at March 12, 2004 12:24 PMCongrats! And long overdue.
Posted by: Benjamin at March 12, 2004 02:35 PMFukkin A's Bubba!
I got the ORA notification of the publication a couple of days ago and thought pretty much the same thing - "it's really real! Cool! I bet Wil's excited!"
I'm glad it's happening for you, you're an outstanding writer.
Thanks man, keep it coming.
Posted by: Mike at March 13, 2004 01:20 AMIf anyone felt ANOTHER disturbance in the force it was me enjoying Wil Wheaton's weblog, as I always do, and finding my Weblog entry had been reproduced on his site. It feels insanely weird to see that O'Reilly and/or Wil Wheaton (I don't know which) noticed by weblog entry about his book; I can't even describe the feeling.
All I can say is that the book was awesome and that review was written with absolute honesty - get it!
Time to try and wipe the smile of my face.
Posted by: Mitch at March 14, 2004 01:56 AMSuper-w00t, Wil!
I noticed that the "Better Together" selection on amazon.com matched "Dancing Barefoot" up with Neil Gaiman's "Neverwhere"... Did you get any input on that, or is it just a happy coincidence?
