Update on ‘The Unknown’ in paperback format…
Pre-ordering for The Unknown closed September 1st. Despite my efforts to see this book in print, nature decided it wasn’t to be - at least not yet! I contacted the printers to ask if they would be willing to do a small print run so that those who had purchased would receive their copy. The result from that inquiry was the company wasn’t willing to print 15 copies. I have since been in contact with those who generously paid for their pre-order copy to offer a refund.
My takeaway from this book not being printed is that in recent weeks I have added another two chapters of unfolding events that are relative - which was a surprise! There could be one or two more to come… this is unknown!… However, these will be included in the nature audios. When the live nature broadcasts are complete we’ll see if there’s more interest in a paperback book then.
Sharing the live nature broadcasts feels like a huge celebration of what has been 25 years of penning this series of Love and Belonging… I am thrilled. Of course, it’s not the way I had planned to complete this series, yet I feel at peace with the currrent outcome and let go to make way for new opportunities or future paperback printing publication. This is not to say I won’t write anymore, far from it, words are still my form of self-expression and creative exploration. Only that now, at this juncture and with the eclipse in my zodiac, life is about to take on an entirely new meaning and that truly excites me! 🎉

What you can anticipate from the nature recordings…
Nature’s sounds… for these recordings are a live and direct broadcast. I have done my best to limit buffering from the wind as one example. There may be many sounds: frogs, rain, birdsong, bees, creekbed streams… each singing its own signature song, including mine. Sometimes If I stumble on my words and correct myself, I leave it as it is for this is all part of delivering a real broadcast that highlights my natural nature.
I am loving the feeling of nature holding us in this space, so I hope you will trust, as I am, that wherever these elements present they do so in the right places of the storytelling.
The GIR Nature Project…
As expressed in my post dated August 5 via the Sea Dream Press Substack page and cross-shared here at earthaum (leanda’s substack) page, I wrote about the GIR Project (Giving in Reciprocity) where you receive freely, The Unknown recorded live in nature.
