Carol D. Marsh sent an update for Nowhere Else I Want to Be

Dear Readers:

I hope you’re well.

Nowhere Else I Want to Be is on track for November 2016 publication. Inkshares is now preparing the galley for submission to media outlets and reviewers. And I’m planning my book launch party in DC, at The Potter’s House.

Would you like to help get the word out? Here are a few simple things you can do:

1. Check in at your local bookstores and tell them Nowhere Else I Want to Be is available NOW for pre-order through Ingram Content Group (book distributors). And you could find out if they’d be interested in holding a reading, then let me know.

2. If you’re in a book group, get pre-orders made for your fall reading.

3. Do you know anyone preparing for a gap year with AmeriCorps, or the Peace Corps? Teach for America or Catholic Volunteers or any other? This book is a great read for anyone about to encounter a people and a culture very different from their own.

4. You can post updates on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, GooglePlus, etc.

Thanks, everyone! Stay well and full of peace.   --Carol

    Dear Sweethearts,

    I hope that you are doing well and that your Wednesday is off to a fantastic start! It is a perfect Spring morning here in Brooklyn, all bright blue skies and sparkling sunshine - absolutely perfect! 

    I have a few really exciting things to share with you today. First of all, the final edits of the manuscript are in! Which is absolutely thrilling, and a little terrifying. I cannot wait to share this book with you all, and to hear what you think of it. 

    Recently I had the pleasure of writing a short essay/article for the website Read It Forward called Writing as a Means of Survival. In the essay I spoke about how writing this memoir wasn’t just something I wanted to do, it was something I needed to do.  It was integral to my survival and to my healing. If you’ve ever wondered how or why I began writing this book, this article will absolutely give you some insights! After you’ve read it, please feel free to comment, or ask any questions. I’d love to hear your thoughts!

    Also, I just created a How to Get Run Over by a Truck Facebook page, which you can find here. I’ll be posting updates on events, articles, quotes, pictures - it’ll be awesome, I promise! 

    Thanks so much for taking the time to read this update, and thank you again for being a supporter of this book. There have been so many beautiful and amazing things that have happened over these past few months, and I know that it is because of you and your belief in this memoir.  I am so grateful to you, and for you! 

    Heart, 

    Katie

      Hey everyone!

      So last week I teased you about some other exciting piece of information.  Well here it is:

      We’ve sold the audiobook rights to Audible!  So in addition to ebook and paperback, we’ll be able to follow Allison and her friends’ journey while driving, walking the dog, or doing whatever else it is that people do when listening to ebooks.

      Before you ask, I have no idea who’s doing to be performing it.  Audible takes care of all of that.  I just smile, wave, and wait to see what happens.

      Thanks again for all your support.  Just a month from this Saturday is ebook day!  Perfect July 4 back yard reading!

      Cheers
      Dave

          Carol D. Marsh liked an update for Space Tripping

          Hello all you wonderful people who helped make my dream come true!

          Seriously though, I can’t find the words to express how much I appreciate your support. "Thank you" just does not do justice to how grateful I am. 

          I figured it was time to drop you all a line to let you know where things stand. We are currently in the midst of the editing & design phase. I can’t say enough nice things about the folks over at Inkshares. They have been tremendous at every step of this process. 

          I’m working with their editing teams in order to spit-shine Space Tripping into the glorious pile of silly misadventure and immature humor that it is. They’ve also brought in a designer to create some gorgeous art for the final book cover. The editing/design phase should take us through the summer. After that, the Inkshares sales people take Space Tripping to market in the hopes of securing shelf space in as many bookstores as possible. 

          When it’s all said and done, you should expect to receive your copy of Space Tripping around the new year. I know this seems like a long time... trust me, no one wants this book to be out in the world asap more than me... but I have to hand it to the people at Inkshares. They do things the right way. 

          In the mean time, if you read the first chapter and you’re just dying to know how it is a drunken alien pilot crashed on Earth in the first place, you can click on the link below to read a short story prequel:

          Alright, that’s all for me tonight.

            Hi Everyone!

            Quick bit of exciting news - the file is off to the printer today.  There is no officially nothing to be done other than sit on my hands and wait for my babies to come back home.  The initial print run is going to be eight thousand copies.  So tell everyone you know to buy one too.  We need to move some inventory!

            I’m also sitting on another exciting piece of news just waiting for final confirmation - look for another update in the next several days.

            Cheers
