Well it’s about to happen. I am publishing a book on Kindle.
A very long story somewhat short: Prior to publishing “Real Men Don’t Rehearse,” I had attempted to publish three other books. The first two, well, those were learning experiences. My third book was a poetic collection of essays on the many facets of our most important personal relationships. I titled it after the first chapter, about expressing faith in someone who showing great courage in the face of adversity: “I Believe in You.”
I went through a six year struggle of trying to find a literary agent for this book, to no avail. When I wrote “Real Men Don’t Rehearse,” those six years of failure experience were key to my having the resolve to just go ahead and print that book myself. The rest, as they say, is history.
But this previous book has been sitting, like a lost middle child, on my hard drive, waiting for someone to love it. So now that the limiting closed-off publishing world of 2002 no longer exists, I decided to publish this book on Kindle. I once had 6 years of failure, and I was able to achieve success in about 12 hours. How times have changed.
When I have more time, I may go thru the more complex motions of turning this into a hardcopy book, but for now, you’ll need a ebook reader to enjoy it. It should be available on Kindle on Monday May 7th. Sample chapters will be posted over the next few days and weeks. best, justin
