where i’ve been
Well, my poor blog has lain neglected for just over six months.
In the past few years, such an absence would have been sure sign that I’d run afoul of some mysterious and prolonged illness or other. I’m happy to report that this time, that is not the case. In fact, I’m quite well!
You may also rule out other culprits such as laziness (never!), boredom (ha!) and forgetfulness due to age (alas, I don’t have a suitable interjection for this one because it’s not that far a cry for me to imagine anymore).
No, the happy reason for my recent silence is actually that I’ve spent the time writing a new book. After a wild ride right to the last minute here, that book—TRIED & (Still) TRUE—is now complete.
And it’s available… well, TODAY!Both the e-book and print versions have launched together (and the audiobook won’t be far behind!).
To celebrate the occasion of my second release:
- I’ve set the e-book price at just 99¢ for the next three days on Amazon.
-
You can read the opening and entire first chapter HERE right now!
In addition, for those who do get a copy of the book in either format, who enjoy it, and who are kind enough to want to leave one of the vitally important first reviews, I’ve created a super easy, step-by-step guide to writing your Amazon review, which you can grab HERE. (After all, I found with my first book that most readers wanted to leave a review, but were just confused about the process or what they should write; so I took the guesswork out of it with TRIED & (Still) TRUE.)
Congratulations, Erik! It’s a great book! (I am still waiting for Amazon to post my five-star review, though you can find it on Goodreads.) I love reading your long-form work, but here’s hoping you post more regularly on your blog this year, because I’ve missed the great dialogues they inspire in the comments!
Thanks, Sean. A funny random factoid just popped into my head (I don’t know why I’m posting it here, but I am). I mention you in conversation with people I know, and they’ve heard your name enough that you’ve now got a nickname in my circles: “blogger-Sean.” But it’s said as one word with a faux-German accent, like Blagerschaun. What I’m trying to say is that you’re practically famous. 😀
I have missed blogging as well! It’s my goal to get back in the swing (while not losing steam on my third book, which I’m about 125 pages into).
Thanks for the continual enthusiasm and encouragement, Blagerschaun!
How appropriate, given that I am a quarter German! That’s very funny…
