"On Vermont Time ..." the Book - News and Updates for October, 2013

Wow this past week has been fantastic.  I have posted the release of the new book on Front Porch Forum and just today had the chance to send media releases to many of the newspapers, television stations and radio stations around the area.  I am now working on a release to book stores, gift shops, libraries and others to see if I can generate some interest there as well.  Please tell all your friends about the book.  It is a great gift for the upcoming holidays.  They can check it out at http://www.timkath.com/onvermonttime.html.

Some people have asked if I am still writing "On Vermont Time..." essays and I want to assure everyone that I definitely am.  The state of Vermont and all of New England give my a ton of things to write about on an on-going basis.  In fact, I will posting a new one today at:  www.timkath.com/blog.  Be sure to check it out.

Right now I am working on the Kindle version of the book and the graphics for the re-release of my gospel CD and am hopeful that I will have it finished so I have some for a concert that Kathy and I are doing on November 2nd in Huntington Center, VT.  I will keep you posted on the progress of both in future posts.  Enjoy your weekend.

Vermont Author Announces Release of New Book “On Vermont Time …”
Featuring Musings, Essays, Short Stories, Poems and Photos
All depicting a little bit about life in the Green Mountains of Vermont

ENOSBURG FALLS, VERMONT – Tuesday, October 1, 2013 – Vermont Author Timothy G. Stetson is pleased to announce the release of the new book “On Vermont Time …” which features many written works of his own as well as the work of a handful of other Vermont authors, poets, photographers and artists including poetry by Lauren Young and Roderick Bates; drawings by Kraig McFadden; the posthumous writings of Lou Hill; and posthumous photos by Gardner Stetson and Harold Green.
While only 105 pages in length, the book …… priced at $7.99, takes readers on a journey through life in the Green Mountains of Vermont. One minute it's the 1950's and the next it is present day. Each writer, poet, photographer and artist explores the many aspects of everyday life living in Vermont. They share stories of their escapades as kids; stories about growing up and even more stories as they live through adulthood and encourage the next generation of Vermonters.
Even the photos found scattered throughout give you a bird's-eye view of life in the second largest state in New England ... home to the best Maple Syrup, Cheese, Wines, Local Brews and much, much more. Oh and yes we can't forget the best skiing anywhere.
As they read this book readers will have a chance to laugh, maybe to cry, but most importantly to feel like they're a part of the trip.  All ... "On Vermont Time ..."
Joseph A. Citro, author of Green Mountains, Dark Tales and Passing Strange has this to say about the book:  "Timothy Stetson has done something truly remarkable here. He has taken regional writing and brought it into sharper focus, creating an anthology that could almost be called "Neighborhood Writing". Here we find an intimacy and appreciation of place that could only be expressed by insiders: real small town Vermonters."
The book is available:  from Amazon.com at the following link: http://www.amazon.com/Vermont-Time-Timothy-Stetson/dp/0972711511; on the author’s page at:  https://www.createspace.com/4438694 as well as the on the publishers website:  www.timkath.com/onvermonttime.html.

I am getting even more excited as the days go on. "On Vermont Time ..." is almost ready for release.  I am awaiting an actual proof copy of the book.  I have gone through the first round of proofs (it is so surprising how many issues you find each and every time you proof a project like this - I think we are up to proofing round 5).  I have worked through the digital proofs this time around and am now waiting for the delivery of the actual book so we can proof everything again.  If all works out the book should be ready for official release ... "barring any unforeseen circumstances ... by the end of the week WOO HOO!  I will keep everyone posted.  I can't wait. 

I have to say that this has given me the energy to work on some of my other writing projects in hopes of bringing some of them to completion as well.  I am also preparing my CD for another production run based on the number of people still wanting to purchase copies.

I am loving it.

More to come soon.
