And I'll add JohnG to our list of esteemed authors. Who's next to go down the author road. I encourage everyone to try it - it's really a singular experience just to even try.
As a result of a published essay in the book
Atheist Voices of Minnesota, I was asked to expand my essay into a full-length autobiography. I told the publisher that I still have a lot of living to do. Ask me again in 20 years. (I think I'll actually be interesting then, LOL.)
Through the book, I have gotten asked to give presentations to atheist/humanist/Unitarian groups, which I'm more than happy to do. I've gotten chances to meet wonderful people, and hopefully, to change a some people's lives for the better.
My pal James Zimmerman, who also has an essay in the book (and who is a far better writer than myself), has a book coming out about his deconversion from the Jehovah's Witnesses entitled
Deliverance at Hand! coming out in mid-October. I'm looking forward to reading it.
Ah, well, now that I finished watching my deeveedee of
The Giant Claw for the umpteenth time, it's time for me to read a few chapters, and then, off to bed.
Nite all!
