Life Uncommon - The Book Cover!

A recent post on The Walkabout almost pre-empted the entire idea for a book I started thinking about writing some years ago.
This book is currently a work in progress but you can take a sneak peek by looking at the cover below:

Your thoughts?

The novella Life Uncommon is inspired by true events and is scheduled for publication on December 31, 2014.
I'll progressively issue updates and hopefully, a significant excerpt as we get along.

Meanwhile, stand by for Counting Down the Days, a collection of short stories which will be available on Amazon Kindle this January.

Finally... Book Covers!

It's been quiet on here . . .
Following is the reason why:

Counting Down the Days is almost ready.
All going well, the book will be available for purchase on Amazon Kindle on December 31, 2013.

I have in the past shared on this blog, the synopses of all the stories making up the Counting Down the Days short story collection. Check them out for a sneak peek using the link above.

All in all, we are literally counting down the days . . .

That said, there's still one more thing:

The Walkabout: A Journey of Insight, Inspiration and Self Discovery is a book that distills many of the blog posts on The Walkabout into a concise, easy to read yet profound collection.
This book will be available for purchase on Amazon Kindle in early 2014.

That's about it for now.

Adding Value to Information

NOTE: This post has been cross-posted on The Walkabout.

Today's post is largely an update, in readiness for some of the far-reaching changes in my writing that will take place in the fourth quarter of this year, with effect from October 01, 2013.
In essence, the changes are for the long term, which makes what you'll read next an expression of intent.

Learning and Sharing

Since 2009, The Walkabout has been a place where we learn, share and grow together. We have focused on insight, inspiration and self discovery. The posts on the blog have been tremendously useful to me, and to many others as well.

In short, we have been sharing valuable information.

Stated Objectives

With growth comes change.
Beginning next week, my writing, and indeed the business model that is now predicated on it, is all about adding value to information.

This I'll do through book authoring, blogging and publishing. Ultimately, I'll embrace more media viz: radio and television.

This renewed focus will be instrumental in the release of 'The Walkabout' book that has been inspired by the posts and the topical discussions that have ensued in the comments. All going well, the book will be out just before the end of 2013.

Ideas: Policy, Not Politics

Additionally, this next phase will involve the setting up of the Policy and Ideas blog.
Here, candid, topical discourse on issues that really matter and add value will be carried out. The solutions and ideas generated will eventually lead into action, since only action begets results.

So much for this update, let us meet again next week on The Walkabout, Pete on Books and the Policy and Ideas blogs.
