Lou’s News #14 — Memoir News


Post by Lou Dawson | December 21, 2023      

Greetings, Merry Merry oh ye happy snow sliders,

It is nearly there. My memoir, Avalanche Dreams, is a micron away from going public. Lord willing, we’re shooting for paperback release in mid-to-late February, 2024. It’ll first be available on the ‘Zon, then we’ll trigger full-wide distribution as we debut the hardcover. Audio book is in the works as well.

Cover reveal below, paperback version (back copy micro-edits are possible, but what you see is pretty much it). And yes, that’s yours truly back in the day, freezing my fingernails off in Canada. Or wait, isn’t that the Muldrow Glacier behind me?

The finished book is around 384 pages, illustrated with 52 classic black&white images.

Paperback cover, Avalanche Dreams, memoir.

I raged through the digital cloud for a moment, looking for a good writer’s quote. This one lit my keyboard.

“Let me live, love, and say it well in good sentences.”
–Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

I gave it my best.

Thanks everyone for your interest and support.

Lou
