25 Years in the Rearview Mirror


A new anthology called 25 Years in the Rearview Mirror: 52 Authors Look Back just recently released. I’m one of the contributing authors and I'd like to tell you a bit about the book.

Inspired by Stacy Juba’s novel Twenty-Five Years Ago Today, this collection of poignant and uplifting essays is the perfect book to enjoy over your morning coffee. Much like a ‘Chicken Soup for the Soul’ book, the stories will warm your heart, raise your spirits and compel you to examine your own life. You can read about school days, quirky jobs, romance, raising a family, hard times, the writing journey, and find out what makes your favorite characters tick. Our goals for the book are to help readers to discover new authors for their ‘to-read’ list, and inspire them to reflect upon the small defining moments that have shaped their own lives. Publishing credits of contributing authors include New York Times and USA Today bestselling. You can buy it here.

I'd also like to invite you to join the ‘25 Years in the Rearview Mirror Reader Group’ on Yahoo, if you're interested. The group is just getting off the ground and has been a way for the authors to stay in touch up until this point, so right now you'll see some boring messages about the blog tour and getting the book launched on various sites (lol!)but we are transitioning it over to a reader/author discussion group over the next few weeks. We're going to start posting regular ‘Memory Sparker’ questions for readers and authors to reflect upon specific times in the past, and in addition to sharing their responses with the group, members can even paste responses into a file on their computer and use them to start compiling a memory journal that can eventually be shared with family members. From time-to-time, we'll also have discussions about ways to focus on positive thinking and a positive future, and we'll host some workshops on interesting topics. Whether you prefer to lurk or join the discussion, once you hit the ‘Join Group’ button, you'll have access to the Authors' Corner of the Yahoo group, where we have loads of downloadable freebies from the Rearview Mirror authors including stories, articles, excerpts, book blurbs, and more, and then you can control the volume of email that you receive from the group.

The direct link for the Yahoo group is: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/

Have a great day!
