Guess what? I’ve got a new book out. I hate all the launching and promotion sort of stuff, and I’m not sure it actually helped my last book, so I’m going to do things the old-fashioned way and just quietly announce it here.
A little over a year ago I wrote a story about visiting a tea shop in Amsterdam. There was no moral to the story and no lesson, it was just an attempt to capture a really nice day that I had and an interesting person that I met. People loved the story, which made me think that maybe I should write a book full of travel stories.
So I did. The Amsterdam story is the only one I copied from the blog. The rest I wrote from scratch, and most of them have never even been mentioned on the blog, so they’ll be new to you. Leo proofread the book for me and thought that the Amanda story was one of the least interesting, so if you like that one, you’ll probably love the book.
I had a lot of fun writing the book and felt good making a tribute to all of the people who have contributed to my travels over the past eight or so years. All of my favorite memories while traveling are because of the amazing people I’ve met, and most of those memories are captured in these stories.
You can buy the book as a Paperback or on Kindle.
So please check out the book! It’s very short– just 100 pages, so you’ll be able to read it in an afternoon. If the reception is good, I will write more of these sorts of books. If not, I will cry.
As you probably know, my primary income source is my books. By buying my books you help support the blog as well as all of the experiences that go into writing it. Writing a good review on Amazon and sharing links to the book make an enormous difference, so please do those things if you feel comfortable doing them! Thank you for your support– it really means everything to me.
