New Book Begun

Now that I have accomplished 16 weeks of marketing this book, and have snail mailings and emails set up to go to Massachusetts libraries in a series of seven groupings. I have already sent out one mailing with six more to go at the beginning of the next six months. Now it's time to sit back and reap the harvest, if, indeed, a harvest there may be.

One of the problems associated with independent publishing is that all the marketing is the responsibility of the author. No P.R., no sales. Having to spend so much time on the marketing leaves very little time for writing. No writing means no book.

And so now I have made the time to start the new book. THERE IS NO VEIL, An Aloha Testiment to Faith, begins where the last book left off in March 2002. The purpose of the first book was to promote the tenets of unity, peace, and love, and to show that we can connect to loved ones who have gone on before us. The purpose of the second book is to show that aloha is a way of life. It promotes the premise that we can survive the passing of loved ones and live our lives fully on our own.

I have completed seven chapters and am half way through the eighth. I expect to have between 16 and 18 chapters, so I feel I'm well on my way. Of course, I will have to continue to market, but now I think I can divide my time equally between the creative and the practical sides of writing.

Since I'm working on a new book, I've opened a new blog. Look for new postings on "There Is No Veil on alohaveilbook.
