So, I’ve got a bit of an announcement to make.

Last week, I published my first book! It’s called “PROMPT CREATIONS (IN A PANDEMIC): A Collection of Thirty-One Ultra Short Stories“.

I made the move for a number of reasons. Primarily, I wanted to learn a bit about the process — I’m doing it through Amazon, for the time being — in preparation for my first novel coming later this year. I’ve learned a number of things, from how to buy an ISBN number, to how to register a copyright with the government. It’s been quite the growth experience.

The book that I decided to publish, as kind of a trial run, is a series of short stories that I wrote last winter, stories that came from my imagination and from a book of writing prompts. I like the collection of short stories, and I hope that you might like them as well.

To find the book, you can go to: amazon.com/author/philbrackett

The good news for you is, if you’re an Amazon Kindle Unlimited subscriber, the book is free to you to download in its e-book format. If not, no worries. The e-book version of the book is $9.99. You can also order the print copy (paperback) of the book for $14.99 and it should arrive to you in a few days. Or, if you’d like to do things really ‘old-school’, you can reach out to me and I can sell you one of my copies (Amazon lets me order them at cost). If you choose this option, I could even be persuaded to autograph the copy for you =-)

I mentioned earlier in this post about my upcoming, full-length novel to be released later this year. I am working with my artist on the cover art design and touching up some final sections of the prose. The novel will be set in the fictional world of Bangor Springs, Michigan — a place that will seem familiar to the people who are closest to me (geographically). I am planning a series of these ‘Bangor Springs’ books to come out during my career, so stay tuned for more information on that.

Finally, and as I’ve always said, thanks for reading. Let me know if you have questions or suggestions.
