I am releasing Counting Breaths in a paperback version for all those people who have requested it! I too am a bibliophile, even taking it one step further to embrace the bibliosmia, the smell of a good book. I am not sure if there is a word for it, but the feel of a new book’s cover and pages as I crack the spine and trail my fingers over the pages for the first time, brings me an odd sense of joy. I have always lost myself between the covers of books. Each one a different escape from a reality that weighed me down. I would celebrate any story that took me outside of myself. My hope is that when you read Counting Breaths, you will find solace rather than just an escape from reality.
I have always maintained that I do not write for the edification of others, that I write because sometimes I must. Writing this book has solidified that standard for me, but on the other hand, I truly hope that my words resonate with someone. Even if it is just ONE person that takes my words to heart, I will have helped them the way someone helped me.
Go on, have a read and remember to breathe… Let me know what you think.
