A Wonderful Daily Kos Article: What Are Your Top 5 Priorities In Order Of Importance?

 

I just read a wonderful article in Daily Kos, written by MurielVieuxThePoet. Its title is “What are your top 5 priorities in order of importance?." I was taken by it because of her passionate, strong, honest, and brave poetry, as well as her list of priorities. See what you think.

To go directly to the article, simply click on the Daily Kos logo above or on the title of the article, which is highlighted in orange print.

Traveling, Book Promotions, & Sales!

Good News!

The Port Townsend, Washington Public Library has included the complete "Alban Saga Trilogy" in their collection.

The Yachats, Oregon Public Library has included "Merlin & Arthur: The Awakening” in their collection and may add more books as time goes by.

The Cloud & Leaf Bookstore in Manzanita, Oregon are selling all six of my books. 

The Cannon Beach Book Company in Cannon Beach, Oregon is considering selling some or all of my books.

The Cannon Beach Library in Cannon Beach, Oregon is considering adding some or all of my books to their collection.

It’s been a busy 2 1/2 months camping and traveling on the coast of Washington and Oregon after my trip overseas. While I’ve been out having fun, I’ve also been working. I started doing research for a new fantasy book and began writing it on 19 July; I've also been involved in a lot of promotional activities.

The pictures above are two libraries and a bookstore that accepted some or all of my books into their collections, and two others who are considering it. My book sales have also been doing well. During my entire 5-month trip—which began overseas on 15 March—I have sold books every month. That has continued a trend which began about two years ago! In addition, my blog has increased its readership incredibly over that same time-frame—thanks to all of you!

Reminder: Since 2013, when I started this journey as an author, readers from 18 different countris have purchased and read one or more of my books! So, for all of you who live ouside the United States: if you haven’t already, you can purchase my books online from any Amazon site in or near the country you live in. Just find the search window and type “Bob Stegner.” That’s the easiest way to locate all six of my fantasy/sci-fi books on the Amazon site you’re using.

Finally, and most importantly, I just want to say once again that I am very grateful to all of you for your support and interest in my blog and in the books that I write!

THANK YOU!
