A couple years ago I told everyone on Allegedly True Stories that I was writing a book and that I was going to publish it.
I didn’t lie.
I really did write the book and now I’m really going to publish it. If you recall, it’s about when my grandfather went missing for 85 days in 1924. The book is based on a diary he wrote. You can read a little more about it here.

I plan to publish sometime early next year. It’s been edited, and now I have a poll up where you can vote for your favorite cover art. If you would like to do that, go to the link here.

I haven’t set the date yet, but I am looking for people who would like to participate with me in the launch. Here is what you would do. If you are already receiving my blog in your inbox, just leave a comment below, saying you want to be on the team.
If you are not receiving emails from me already, click the “Contact” button at the upper right. Enter your name and email, and I will send you a .pdf copy of my book. Then, read it! In a few weeks I will let you know the launch date and I will ask you to please leave a review of the book on a link that I will send later.
Don’t worry. I will give you time to read it and a few advance emails letting you know more info about the launch.
Until then, vote for your favorite cover, and sign up for my launch team!
Thanks!
Randy
How exciting Randy! I love your stories! I have also written a book about our orphanage we sponsor…Kakembo—A Heart Connection, with 126 color photos that is now in the editing and publishing stage. I went through Xulon Press, and have been happy with them.
Blessings on your new book venture!
That sound exciting as well! I am anxious to see it. Keep me in the loop!
