The Cheapest Vacation You Can Buy

Here's to books, the cheapest vacation you can buy -- Charlaine Harris



I took a mental vacation this past few weeks. I'd just completed two non-fiction books in a row. One I'd worked on for two years, since it's a training manual for a 16 week program for Hiking and Nordic Walking training. I had to test all the protocols and take all the video and photos upon which the book was built. It ended up being 340 pages, 88 photo illustrations > 120 spreadsheets.

Summit Success: Training for Hiking, Mountaineering, and Peak Bagging

While working on that I created a webinar based on my training and goal setting protocols from my 5th place finish at Elbrus Race 2013, which used the skills and techniques I learned training for my unsuccessful attempt at Elbrus Race 2010. The webinar was such a hit, with my highest attendance and best reviews that I created an enhance and expanded edition with double the content. While writing the script for it I realized that it would make an excellent book in the self-help time management genre.

Finding Time to Train

And to relax after all of that, which resulted in two paperback and Kindle books being published in a ten day period, I opened up an old fiction project about a post-apocalyptic dystopian world where the preppers had managed to survive and form loose bands of civilization. To make it an even more interesting world, I added in some young adult relationship angst. Not sure what genre it should be, but it looks like it's going to be a hat trick for me - published in the next week.

Review: The 10 Biggest #Workout Mistakes

The 10 Biggest Workout Mistakes: Are one of these mistakes slowing your progress? by Dr. Len Lopez My rating: 3 of 5 stars So/So. Average. 3. yep. If you took a handful of bullet points, wrapped them in repetitive catch-phrases, and added in some links to your other projects, you'd have this book. Would it be at all helpful to anyone? Yes, if you are needing to do actual aerobic exercise and need to be smacked in the face with it over and over and over until it works finally - this might be the book that does that. If you're trying to get in shape or achieve some specific level of fitness, then no. View all my reviews

Revenge Of The Cat Woman: A Short Story Set in Old Japan [#short #horror]

Revenge Of The Cat Woman: A Short Story Set in Old Japan by Yael Eylat-Tanaka My rating: 3 of 5 stars I'm not certain what happened here. It was pretty short, and not much happened aside from depressing cultural attitudes and events that were pretty much historically correct. No one here was particularly easy to empathize with. The "Cat Woman" was pretty passive. The Cat was pretty passive. The antagonist was stated to be aggressive. It ended in a "he got his" way, but it was still unsatisfying. The ghost was merely a suggestion, perhaps a shadow of guilt. It was free, took only a few minutes to read, and was probably worth both the money and time. View all my reviews

New Year, New You, Amazing Bling Deal

Your New Year should include at least a couple of different things. Resolutions and/or Goals Rewards and/or Compensations I know you probably haven't really thought about either of those yet, but now that Christmas is out of the way it's time to get cracking on it. FREE WEBINAR - START NOW Resolutions and/or Goals First of all, you need a plan. I'm sure you've heard the ads from NordicTrack that incline training burns more fat faster than just about any other type of training. I have a NordicTrack incline treadmill myself, and I love it. But did you know that you can do the exact same type of training without one? Regular treadmills often go up to 15% incline and that's plenty steep enough for most training goals. You can also use stairs, box stepping, and hill running. I wrote a book about how to succeed at incline training, and I want you to have a free paperback copy of it worth $26.55 . That's the current price that Amazon is charging today ...
