New Memoir : Survival and Other Stories

[Gilly Goodness]

That's what it says.

As per Doug Curran on FB.

Must read. Auto buy. Nice cover....

Old news though. First chapter was released on PDF file I remember.

So. Is this news of imminent publication?






SNOWFLOWER ELDER SAY OPEN DOORWAYS

it looks a little bit like an inspirational book for sale in a drug store

Hello, quick update on this. I’m the designer/illustrator working with Jon on this project. I started helping him pull some of his stories together around the time ARW started touring. At the time we talked about how it would be an ongoing project in the coming years where he writes the stories as he has time and sends them my way where I illustrate and layout the pages.

The art shown in the OP is actually what I intend to be used for the interior title page and not the cover. Cover ideas are still just percolating. That first chapter of about 16 pages was posted on his FB page a few years ago. We’ve got close to 100 pages finished, but to be honest Jon has so many stories, it’s a little mind boggling. I have the “book” currently laid out in a “coffee table” style, but it’s final form is really yet to be determined. I don’t think any kind of publishing is imminent with all he’s got going on, but you never know. : )

Thanks for the update, Jim.

Thank you, YesSince72 It's really great to get information from someone who is directly involved.
(Hopefully things will even progress a little quicker than you are anticipating! )

No problem, happy to do it! I love the conversations and great energy on this site for everything Yes. This book project came about very naturally and will always move at the speed that Jon’s music and touring schedule will allow. I told him he’s still making memories. So as a fan, I’m happy that he would still rather be writing, recording, and editing music than working on his memoirs.
