It’s So Much Fun to Hold It in My Hands… and the Book, Too.
So there was going to be a fundraiser for a cause in which my writing would be relevant, and I figured I would put together a “Best of” paperback of 99% of the content from this site.
I would self-publish it, and donate a bunch of copies (only printing and shipping costs for me) to the charity event to sell xx copies of my book, for a very cheap minimum donation ($6?), a recommended donation ($12?), and a Founder’s-level Donation ($20+).
The idea was to multiply what I would otherwise donate in cash by 3x-5x through use of the book, figuring we could sell at least 30 copies, easy.
Most people at the fundraiser event would know me, and many of those would know that I write, but I’m sure that few of them ever visit here… and that in the spirit of giving, plus curiosity, we could blow through 30 copies. So many of them had said, “Ooooh, I want to read your stuff, someday!”, and this would be their chance, lol.
That all remains to be seen, as the event was postponed. But I decided to assemble and self-publish the book anyway, to order some author’s copies as gifts, and to be able to hold some of my writing in my hands!
Here we are. I take pride in making my writing available to the world across multiple sites for free. But I’m going sell this book on Amazon, and any profit will go to charity.
In no way is this an appeal to buy my book! It’s just a celebration of having the real, tangible thing in my hands now, and… if you happen to see it out there, you’ll know why.
But if you’d like an analog copy of my book, to carry around in physical form instead of the usual free pixels on your phone, tablet, or laptop, lol, have at it, and thank you!
