Can I share some happy family news?

Asked by janbb (63257points) August 18th, 2024

My son has self-published a memoir he wrote about a cross-country motorcycle trip he took in 2009. It’s for sale on Amazon in hardcover and Kindle download and you can read a sample if you go there.

The title is “Learning to Lean: An Introvert’s Journey across America.” Naturally, I think it’s very good!

That’s awesome! I’ve often thought I should write but digging up the past would be so painful. He’s brave! I’ll check it out. Love the title.

Sounds cool! Neil Peart of Rush has a similar book that’s worth a read.

Wonderful! I purchased the Kindle version and downloaded it yesterday. Thanks for sharing this news, and please give your son a pat on the back for me. Even writing a single page can be a challenge.

janbb's avatar

@Jeruba Thanks. He’s worked hard on it, writing and revising for many a year. I’ll be interested to read your comments privately.

I can’t wait to read it! It sounds similar to one I’m working on.

janbb's avatar

@Strauss Thanks.

Important Request For anyone planning to buy it or download it, there is a corrected edit coming to one part. Because it is printed to order, the edited version should be available in a few days. If you download it in a few days, the correction should be there too and if you’ve downloaded it already but connect your Kindle to the internet then, it should correct there too.

Actually, I’ll mention ithere when I hear the update is available.

The updated version of the book with a slight edit is available now in hardcover and Kindle.

The title is “Learning to Lean: An Introvert’s Journey across America” by Dave Blundell

Thanks!
