DISCOUNTED Marathon Book ON SALE

 Well, finally, it's about time!

I'm proud to announce the launch of:

How to Run a Marathon in 13 Years

How Hard Would You Fight For Your Dreams?

Back in November, in the wake of Surfers Point, I began assembling my notes, blog posts, Team in Training material, etc. It's been a long ten months, with many side tracks necessary to learn Aweber or Lumen 5 or Atticus or some other form of software necessary to self-publish. I'm already past this book, thinking of the next one. But I learned from prior publications that the job of really promoting your books begins NOW. In ten days, the price of the ebook jumps to 4.99. Grab it for under a buck today. Meanwhile, I think I'll celebrate in some low-key manner.

JustKindleBooks Promotes 'Marathon'

 Go to their fine platform as they promote discounted and free ebooks on the great Amazon beginning tomorrow, Sept. 6. Wednesday, Sept. 7.

If Lumen 5 ever delivers a video, I'll post it below. I was hoping for something unusual that combined AI and my imagination. So far, nothing.

Collaboration Between Lumen 5 AI and Writer JP Mac

 

justkindlebooks is featuring my new book on Tuesday, Sept. 6. Wednesday, Sept. 7.

My book is called "How to Run a Marathon in 13 Years." 

An award-winning, nonfiction memoir, 'Marathon' tells the tale of an aging runner. 

This man is hobbled by operations and his own failings, as he attempts to run another marathon. 

There are no vampires, steamy love scenes, or werewolves. 

If you see any next to this book, then it's probably not my book.

Eat lots of canned sausage. 

My head is made of iron from old bridges.

Humbug.

UPDATE:

This was a test to see what Lumen 5 AI came up when presented with unusual dialogue. Pretty disappointing. When stumped, the AI chose images with some kind of corporate graphics. A bolder AI has yet to make an appearence. I had to swap out most of its picks to keep the video from being a total snore.

#1 in Track and Field Outdoors

That's the category on colossus Amazon that I currently hold top spot in. Behold! Proof of a sort. Nevertheless, I'm delighted and you will be as well come September when the book is released and the price goes up. A pleasant Wednesday to all.

Discounted for now.

Running Book Crosses Finish Line

At 1:38 PM Pacific Time this fine day I completed the first draft of my marathon book. It falls into the novella category, running 108 pages and almost 40k words. That will change as I slim it down, augment with an appendix explaining various running terms and techniques, and craft front and back matter.

But for all that, the research was assembled and the text written in around three months. That could just be a new record for me. 

So I'll let the book simmer while my subconscious sorts out matters of narrative and style. 

More soon.

Memories Hurt

Writing a non-fiction ebook about my long journey to once again run a marathon. Fascinating trying to remember back. Time obscures much. I have this blog and my running logs but there's big gaps in other areas as I try to reconstruct the years without boring the crap out of readers. Basically my life revolved around no money, no work, trying to run, and fascinating medical complications. 

I'm depressed just recalling it all. 

Good progress overall. Probably less than a hundred pages. I'm looking to launch early next year.
