I Wrote a Book and It Is Now For Sale

Hey there Fast Heart Mart fans!
I am excited to announce that I have put together a book about my travels to Germany and Europe last summer. You can find it, check it out and buy it here:  http://a.co/euOkQ9u
If everyone on this email list buys at least one book, that would be great ;) 
Basically this book is a compilation of my journal entries from last summer when I was touring in Europe for 2 months. I think it is a really fun read for just about anyone. Also, It makes a great gift for Father's Day coming up June 18th. Check it out on the Amazon page and order it. Write a review if you feel inclined. 
Which brings me to my next subject. I can use all the help I can get getting this book reviewed in as many places as possible. If you know any bloggers or critics who may be interested in reviewing this please pass the book on to them.

I hope this message finds you all well and in good spirits! It is Memorial Day weekend, which is when a lot of people consider summer to begin. If you are not well and good spirits please know that it will all be ok in time. I have been in plenty of low points in my life, but the wonderful thing is, as long as I keep going as best I can, life has a way of resolving things. Life is a series of challenges that hits some of us harder than others and in unique ways. 
Ok everyone, that's enough for now. Please write back and say "hello" or something. I love hearing from you. This book release is exciting stuff as is doing a 2 month North American tour! However, none of it is possible without each of you :)
Love and Gratitude,
