Book Update #2….Off to the Printer we go…..
We are now officially off to the printer.
I’m going big and having faith that I’m being led to do so. Yes, we are having 3,000 soft-cover books printed.
Why? Several reasons, but I’ll suffice it to say, the last person that read from the book, while I gladly waited, was asked, “What do you feel?” To which she replied,”Go Big!!!”
My publisher asked me as well before we closed on the decision about where, what, when and how I was going to distribute the book. I started rattling off the latest schedule, which did not have the full slate that it does now, at that time. He didn’t hesitate after the first few comments to go ahead with brainstorming on avenues to make it happen. He seemed to feel it as well.
So now, we are days away from the end of the Kickstarter project,….still trying to teach folks what Kickstarter is and does, while in the back of my mind knowing I can’t wait for Aug. 10th, the release date.
Why? Again I have to ask myself is it really happening, because the first day after the book is release, Aug. 11th, I will be in Valdese NC. attending the 37th Annual Waldensian Festival with my own booth for the first official book signing. This may be insignificant to most, but it is one of the first Waldensian settlements to arrive in the New World, and wound up only being a couple hours from my current home. In addition, they have become a valuable resource of information from which to draw not only knowledge but inspiration for the book.
So, ready or not…..here we go.
Like a friend of mine who use to be in the Marines use to say, “Better reach down and hold on tight, this could get wild!!”
