I ordered the proof for This, Too, Shall Pass last week. According to Amazon, it has been shipped and should be received before the end of this week. Certainly, there will be changes to be made, flaws to be fixed, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have no idea how to go about marketing this one, so...open to your suggestions, if you have them. The target audience is those who are dealing with depression, drug/alcohol addition and its crippling results, PTSD. Not a happy place and not a happy book, but it's accurate and quite descriptive of the life I once lived.
And, already, bells and whistles for the next one. Now all I have to do is wait for the story to completely unravel into words and "Ragtop" will be my third attempt to add another tale to the collection. This will be my first attempt at fiction (based on some real life adventures - actually begun twenty years ago when I was living in Corpus Christi.) This should be advance notice to you to begin writing down those words and phrases that come drifting unbidden into the recesses of your mind. You never know when the day will come that you have time to drag them out and step bravely (or trepidatiously) between the lines you created back when you didn't know you were creating.
You will hear from me next when I can say the book is available for purchase on Amazon. If you (or someone you know) are living in darkness, you might consider purchasing a copy. There has always been, and will always be, light at the end of the tunnel.
Always and Ever,
Barbara
