Mel commented on my blog and I went to her blog to check it out and saw your blog again as her favorite. The world is so small!<BR/><BR/>So someone reading your book and your seeing it online is in the same vein. <BR/><BR/>I used to live in Alaska (20 years), but the weather got to me and now we are in Raleigh, NC. Talk about easy living.<BR/><BR/>You are amazing!

Given that you are from here and that several misadventures occured in Utah I would think it would have considerable appeal. I think that the Moab book and bike shops would absolutely be interested, given thier commitment to local writing. Anyway, I know someone at Wasatch Touring, and will talk to him about it with your permission, as well as several other shops. Oh, and REI has a section dedicated to writing by locals/about local wilderness recreation. Pretty much what I am saying is that i think you should get down here and do some marketing, find a way to write it off as business, and hang out for a week or 10. We could talk to Jamie and others, set up a showing of your photography at Gallery Stroll, or something of the like, do a book signing at King's English, and a charity ride with Author Jill Homer on behalf your efforts toward the Cancer cause, etc........ The possibilities are limitless. Marketing is key, unfortunately, in this "Image is everything" world we live in. I'm not asking you to sell out to the masses, but I've read your book and I do believe it has appeal to a much wider audience than your blog, so why not?! I'm happy to help in any way. <BR/><BR/>BryanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-91788778617285286472009-01-12T06:50:00.000-07:002009-01-12T06:50:00.000-07:00Thanks for the link Jill and I can't wait to read ...Thanks for the link Jill and I can't wait to read your book.<BR/><BR/>-BBluenoserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03448920726947078281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-68661575649706331002009-01-11T22:39:00.000-07:002009-01-11T22:39:00.000-07:00I just finished your book.

My wife is now reading it, and my 10 and 13 year old daughters will read it after that. I am a regular reader of your blog, and like many others, followed your progress last year. Thank you for taking the time to write Ghost Trails, and I wish both you and Geoff the best of luck in the 09 race! Don't forget to pack lots of candy this time. <BR/>Tom, Klamath Falls OregonteTom Ferrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06863735491525739464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-25331221875884622522009-01-11T13:55:00.000-07:002009-01-11T13:55:00.000-07:00Jill, why not try moving your seat back and inch o...Jill, why not try moving your seat back and inch or so after your up move to better stretch those muscles? kb peace outkenbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02483219755088902674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-63134989965388986032009-01-11T11:11:00.000-07:002009-01-11T11:11:00.000-07:00Work and Travel Alaska Hey , Which cities have u v...<A HREF="http://www.workandtravelalaska.net" REL="nofollow"> Work and Travel Alaska </A><BR/>Hey , Which cities have u visited ?

As a reader, it seems like your book is about facing down your own demons. For many of us, the biggest demon of all is self-doubt, and you describe its insidious effects beautifully. This description is enhanced by how you weave together your experiences from years ago with your Iditarod experiences. A reader can see how you've grown and changed through the years from these myriad of experiences.<BR/><BR/>For anyone who wants to be inspired to venture beyond their comfort zone, your book will provide inspiration!KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-85513823751924768892009-01-11T06:52:00.000-07:002009-01-11T06:52:00.000-07:00Hi - I'm Mel in the UK and have finally signed up ...Hi - I'm Mel in the UK and have finally signed up to blogger and begun my own blog, so now I feel I can 'take part' and comment.
