YES, VIRGINIA. ELVIS IS IN THE HOUSE.


Portrait of a Seeker: Born to Wonder (by the author of this blog) is in bookstores as you read.  Over the next several weeks, it will be listed in catalogs and you will be able to order Portrait from any brick and mortar or online book seller in the English speaking world and beyond.


From Portrait of a Seeker's Amazon description:

“I painted this sandcastle in one long summer day because I’ve watched other ‘books,’ unwritten and unread, falling into holes and thought, ‘What a shame—no one will ever know what they knew.’”
The author of Portrait of a Seeker writes about the meaning of life and thinks he found it. He has a view that he wants to share: “I believe every self-aware creature should be allowed to find its place.”
In Portrait you will find short stories, poetry, journal entries, correspondence with others seeking meaning, accounts of living in America and overseas, anecdotes of idealistic undertakings and a unique love story. This book is an impression left in the soft mud of existence. A million years from now, Weimer muses, an archeologist might uncover its fossilized, unreadable form and wonder briefly...




I want to thank you for your patience these past few years.  Now that it's done, I will no longer post excerpts from Portrait as a book-in-the-works.  I'm working  currently on my second short story in an upcoming collection called Beyond Still.


Note: Soon you'll be able to "Look Inside" when you check out Portrait's listing on Amazon.

Portrait of a Seeker -- arriving soon, at an online bookseller near you!

This is the cover of my book, Portrait of a Seeker: Born to Wonder.  As soon as I do a final "Eproof" with the printer, One and Only Press will be announcing the release of its first book.  At long last.
