Book reviews, thoughts and reflections
I just enrolled St. Peter’s Brewery in Amazon’s Kindle Match program. If you purchased the book in paperback from Amazon.com, you’ll be able to download the book for free on your Kindle in a couple days.
You can visit Amazon.com to find out more and find any other books you might have that are eligible.
Or if you haven’t ordered your copy of the book – definitely do so!

Just in time for this year’s #nanowrimo, I just received an email confirming that Apple gave the initial approval for adding St Peter’s Brewery to iBooks. (I should have initiated that sooner.)
Hope to have it available within a week or so.
I’d love to update the book and correct a number of typos before publishing to iBooks, so if you’re interested in helping me proof the book, I’ll be glad to send you a PDF of the book if you can have it proofed by the end of the week. Drop me an email and let me know where to send it.
But until the book appears in iBooks then you can always read St Peter’s Brewery on your iOS or Android devices with Kindle’s FREE apps and the Kindle version of St. Peter’s Brewery – available for only $4.99!
And yes, I’ll be glad to autograph your Kindle or iPhone or iPad with a Sharpie if you’d like. 🙂
UPDATE: St. Peter’s Brewery is NOW AVAILABLE for iOS and iBooks. You can purchase the book in iTunes on your computer or in iBooks on your iOS device.
I found several GREAT deals on books for Kindle today — all of them $.99 or less!
And rest assured, that while these may be “cheap Kindle books” – the content is anything but.
Not sure how long they’ll be on sale – so grab them while you can.

It was one year ago (Dec 2, 2009) that I launched my first novel, St. Peter’s Brewery, into the wild.
I will admit I had high-hopes for the book (I’m sure every author does) but at the end of the day only a “select few” will ever sell more than 100 copies (where’s that stat on Kevin’s website when I need it?). Kevin Hendricks points out that only 79% of all books will sell more than 100 copies.

Last week, I told you about Kevin Hendrick’s latest publication – Open Our Eyes: Seeing the Invisible People of Homelessness.
The book officially releases today but I ordered an “advance” copy and loved reading it over the weekend.
Kevin and the other collaborators did a great job to help share the message Mark Horvath has been sharing at invisiblepeople.tv since 2008 — and all the proceeds from the book go straight to helping Mark continue his great work.
Plus – I believe it’s the first book (other than my own) to make mention of our podcast… so that makes it cool in it’s own right :-).
Kevin graciously agreed to take time away from writing his next novel to do a short interview with me via e-mail. Here’s what he had to say… Continue reading Open Our Eyes – an interview with Kevin Hendricks
While my reading time has diminished quite a bit over the last two weeks, the books on my nightstand (and/or dresser) continue to grow in number.
I’m currently reading:
The Art of Non-Conformity – by Chris Guillebeau
While some of the ideas in this book aren’t new (if you read Chris’ blog), reading the nuggets from his own story have been great. Chris was actually in town on Oct. 22, the day after the boys were born, and I was sorry to miss his book signing/event. But this is a great book showing that “You don’t have to live your life the way other people expect you to.”
Lots of inspiring nuggets of truth throughout the book so far.
Eat This, Not That! 2011
This is a great little book that blows open some of the misconceptions about the food we eat on a regular basis. It’s amazed me how so much of the food I’d usually consider as “healthy” is actually worse for us than the other food on the menu.
Cook This, Not That! Easy & Awesome 350-Calorie Meals
A companion to the book above. I haven’t cooked anything from this book yet, but the recipes are simple alternatives to meals we typically spend far too much on from many chain restaurants. The vast majority of the recipes are also under the 350 calorie mark so not only are you saving money – but calories too.
