It’s been a while since I’ve done some Supernatural fan news, so here’s just a few of the exciting things happening within the fandom lately.
Available on April 16 is Jim Beaver’s memoir, Life’s That Way. As many of you know, Jim plays Bobby Singer on the show. Here is the official description from the book’s website:
In August 2003, Jim and his wife Cecily learned what they thought was the worst news possible – their daughter Maddie was autistic. Then six weeks later the roof fell in – Cecily was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer.
Jim immediately began writing a nightly email as a way to keep 125 family and friends up to date about Cecily’s condition. Soon 4,000 people a day, from all around the world, asked to be on the list. Initially a cathartic exercise for Jim, the prose turned into an unforgettable journey for his readers. Life’s That Way is a compilation of those nightly emails; yet what started out as nightly missives makes for an incredibly unique and compelling reading experience.
The book is available for pre-order on Amazon.com. Jim is a fantastic writer for those of us who follow his blogs online and he got started as a writer before he became an actor. I’m looking forward to reading his very personal story.
Also, here’s a snippet from the latest press release from Warner Brothers:
Be sure to check-out the all-new Ghostfacers.com website – watch new Facers videos, find out more about the team, leave the Facers a note on their blog, and much more. See extended versions of Ed & Harry’s training videos from last week’s episode – including an introduction to their latest fighting style, “GMA” (Ghost Martial Arts). This site will continue to evolve over the next few months, so make sure to check back often to see what’s new… Stay Razor!
In addition, the Supernatural feature story in Entertainment Weekly that was postponed because of the death of Natasha Richardson is finally running in this week’s issue (on stands April 3).
As a personal note, I’ve been a subscriber to EW for a good number of years. In that time, I’ve never seen more than a small mention for Supernatural in the magazine (which is likely why I didn’t hear of the show until season three). A feature story would be a first, and this is a very exciting thing for our show. I’m eagerly waiting for it to arrive in my mail.

Nice to hear those news Alice, it is amazing what the fans of this show can do! We truly are passionate and dedicated and Kudos to all the fans who are so involved in those fundraisers.
I would like to inform you, that we, here in Romania, we try to obtain more promotion for the show (I know, it's not in States but still...)and every SPN fan send letters to AXN in order to buy and air the show. We want our season 4 and we want the DVD's to be released in our country (I already have them ordered from USA). We hope to achieve this goal and maybe next year I am able to go to a SPN con (it will be a dream come true)!
I must order Jim's book and hope to have it soon, this man is amazing and has such a sad story :( !
Can't wait for the next review, the episode was amazing! God, I love this show!

Thank you very much for commenting about the project, you're seriously GOLDEN!
Much love and much huggles.
ATM I've been rehearsing a lot, but a bad cold just destroyed my throat, what delayed the first round of recording sessions to "still I dunno when".
Still, thanks a bunch, and keep up the awesome job! Lotsa LOVE!!!
