P.S. Veronica - Please, please, please tell me there is a way to get a physical copy of your book? It look like it is only available via Kindle?

Yes, I am old-school. You did not mention your age well by wanting a hard copy I have just revealed mine!

Please advise!

Yes, there will be a paperback version coming up in March ;)

We are doing the digital launch first.

I will keep you posted.

PS: you'd be surprised, printed books are still super popular!

"PS: you'd be surprised, printed books are still super popular!"

Yes! :)

And what is still popular, for me, is a signed copy of that printed book :))

That would be amazing!

I hope we can make it happen one day.

Thank you for all your support and it’s honestly your question that encouraged me to do the LIVE as I was getting ready for my run, lol.

Veronica - I loved hearing and seeing! - more about your publishing journey and all that it took to land the Whale! 🐳 πŸ’ƒ

I'm glad you know how to "suffer" and run the big race called the Triathlon ~ as that is a more than apt analogy as you know well - but I'm finding out ~ learning ~ and having fun with~!

In high school, I was on the track team but only ran sprints never long distances because I did not practice slowly increasing my endurance abilities over time. In essence, I was already fast and could run well enough but I didn't want to "suffer" and push myself - and I was really interested in learning.

Now it has been time for me to "grow-up" and learn to enjoyably suffering!

I have the book, I have the query letter, I have my proposal 95% completed, I used a DE, I have a publicist - next is landing a solid agent in my genre nonfiction self-help. Your journey is inspiring and if I lived in Hong Kong I would "hire you" to help me learn how to run again.

Thank you for sharing more about you and your journey ~ it is truly inspiring!

I want the Whale Veronica! 🐳 ~ thus, I love your advice - put yourself out of your comfort zone! As Melville said - Ignorance is the parent of fear.

This is so exciting and I wish you all the best with your journey and finding the agent.

I do find a lot of resilience and endurance in the world of sports. The mindset is the same: keep moving, one step at a time.

So cheers to landing the Whale!

I’m on your side.
