Book reading venues update

I called 15 book stores in the Bay Area and received five email addresses to send inquires to. I was surprised to hear from eight book stores that they no longer hold book readings anymore.

I had a great editing session with Jesse this weekend to complete and construct three videos for my web site, cancer on my mind.com, a music video, a 60 second book trailer, and a three question Q&A short video. I will be posting these videos on my Facebook page and

Book reading venues

I have started my search for bookstores or coffee shops to conduct a book reading of Cancer on my Mind in San Francisco, Marin County, the North, East and South Bays. I have 5 email addresses so far and will not stop my search until I get enough readings to support my cause...never give up if you are diagnosed with cancer!

Cancer on my Mind book update

Happy New Year to all!

I am predicting a successful year for my newly published book, as of December 2010.

My book promotion list of to-do-things is almost done.

Jesse and I are a few weeks away from completing the music video, promotional video, and book trailer video.

The web site, cancer on my mind, is available at http://canceronmymind.com/Cancer_On_My_Mind/Home.html

The site was constructed and designed in two months by Eric McCracken at http://www.eisforeric.com/

He generously designed the entire web site, including the creaking web site flash movie of the "top of my head opening up, with the title of my book, Cancer on my Mind rising up in a column".

I am looking for a SF book store to hold a book signing of my book.

Thank you for your support of my book.

Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you to all of the friends of mine who have bought a copy of my book or ebook from the BookLocker.com link (http://booklocker.com/books/5123.html) or purchased a book from me in person.

I am still in the process of completing the final editing for the song and video of Cancer on my Mind to be posted to YouTube in January 2011.

The Cancer on my Mind web site will be up and running in the next week or so. This site will contain: cancer related Media links section and three videos (a song and video based on my book, a promotional video for my book, a student film I made while attending DVC); video shooting photos section; an About the Author section; a Cancer on my Mind screen play section; a Book Reviews section containing 16 book reviews that are featured in the book, from medical schools like Harvard, Stanford, UCSF, UCLA, Columbia Medical Center, Columbia University, John Hopkins University, Kings College Hospital, London, England; a Poetry section; and a Guest Book.

Merry Christmas to all!

I have received many positive reviews to my book and appreciate them all.

Cancer on my Mind is a reality on the Internet

Cancer on my Mind is a reality on the Facebook, Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, BookLocker.com, Twitter, and Google and Yahoo search engines.

I will be distributing book copies to local San Francisco Bay Area television stations to get an interview on a weekend morning show on Channel 2, 4, 5, and 7. I will be giving a book copy to the CNBC store in Terminal 3 at SFO, for corporate viewing and approval, to get approval for a book signing in January 2011.

Jesse and I are still editing the video based on Cancer on my Mind and will posting the song on itunes, and the video and promotional video on YouTube in January 2011.

Thank you for all of your support.

I have spent countless hours writing this book, actually it has taken me SEVEN years to get Cancer on my Mind published by BookLocker.com

I want to thank my Mom for her support to help me survive cancer up till this point in my life. I celebrated living cancer free for 10 years on July 5 2010. She has also listened to me during the good and bad times of trying to complete my book project, and also unconditionally nursed me back to life after my brain surgery. Thank you so much Mom!

I hope that those who are diagnosed with cancer or those who need a good book to read about never giving up to survive a battle with cancer, will enjoy my book.

A web site, song and video will be available in the next 3-4 weeks.

If you have any comments about my book or blog, please write them in the blog posting.

Thank you for all of your support,

Cheers,

Walter

I submitted an error-free manuscript today

I and a good friend of mine located a number of errors in my manuscript a few weeks ago. A generous friend donate the services of his professional proofreader to my book project. After a few rounds of submitting the final manuscript and book cover to BookLocker, my publisher, I am happy to say, the task has been completed. Yeah! Yippie! I will receive a final copy in 10 business days and them anyone can order a book through the BookLocker.com web site.

I am designing business cards and tee-shirts to use the promotion of my soon to be published book, Cancer on my Mind.

I will shoot the final scenes of the video and pending song with Jesse on Thursday.

A short promotional video was shot by Jesse last Saturday. I want to thank Jesse for all of the effort he has put into writing the song and shooting and editing the video. It has been a long 17 months to finish this project.

I want to thank Angela at BookLocker.com for helping me to make my dream of publishing a book about surviving a brain tumor come true. I hope my book will inspire everyone who is diagnosed with any kind of cancer to fight hard and try and live longer. Never forget that you can do anything, just as long as you keep trying to accomplish it a little bit every day.
