For the past 18 months, I have mentioned now and then that I was working on a book. The book grew out of four (and eventually five) years of weekly Reflections. As issue numbers rolled past 200, a few of you suggested that I staple them together into a book. Sounded like a good idea at the time.
Thank you for the vote of confidence! The process of turning random weekly thoughts into a somewhat coherent and cohesive whole has been stimulating, challenging, and enjoyable. I hope the product meets those standards as well.
What's its name? Going Deeper: Reflections on Challenge and Change.
Today, you can purchase the book on Amazon.com in paperback ($9.00 plus postage) or Kindle ($4.99). Click here to do so.
Next week, you will be able to purchase a signed paperback direct from me, using PayPal on my website ($10.00) with free delivery in the local Missoula area or media rate postage ($4.00) if mailed. I will send you an email with that link when it goes live.
Thanks to the remarkable indie-author-friendly resources at Create Space and Kindle Direct Publishing (both of which are Amazon.com affiliates) I was able to publish and make this book available with modest technological talent and zero up-front financial exposure. I am amazed by the magic of print-on-demand paperbacks and instantly downloadable e-books for making that possible.
I look forward to sharing 100 favorite essays with a wider audience in a format that lends itself to revisiting meaningful themes. Reflections has taken its life from the dialogue of exchanging experiences with you as readers and going deeper for added value. I look forward to more as the journey continues.
