Blog Post #99 is the bonus blog you’ve been dreaming of and hoping for. As promised, here is the big reveal for my debut novel.

The Novel Announcement

I’ve been working on this novel since 2020. Health and life slowed its progress at times but now I’m seeing light at the end of the tunnel. It is finished. However, I’m currently going through the editors’ “suggestions”. They were ruthless and cruel but I’m staying on task.

One editor just sent it back unchanged with a message that said, “You should re-write chapters 1 through 28.”

”No.”

I expect to have it available to the public this fall.

Sew With Our Further a Dude, Here It Is:

Jonah Chooses Amazing

Following tragedy and his own health scare, a self-professed lazy couch potato embarks on a journey of self-improvement and personal betterment. Embracing the power of decisions and the need to take the actions required to improve his lot in life, Jonah Astin faces internal turmoil and external awkwardness while chasing his newfound goals. Weeding his way through gurus, coaches, teachers, friends, nurses, doctors, and his out-there Aunt Mel, he challenges himself to be the man his mom always wished for him to be. Is it possible to find some happiness and still become “amazing” along the way?

Jonah Chooses Amazing is a journey story that explores regret, loss, and hope. It asks questions about what’s possibly possible, how decisive decisions about deciding can be, and the power of will power’s power. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll ask, “Who is this guy?”

I’ve been working with my friend, Sarah on the book’s cover (She’s the editor of my first book, Nursing: The Funny Side of the Bedside, who is now a Graphic Designer). I’m really excited for how this is coming along. Here’s a rough sketch for idea and concept.

So get ready for the greatest novel I’ve ever written becoming available and taking the world by storm. Choose My Novel!!

“Jonah Chooses Amazing? What’s it about?”

“It’s about a guy named Jonah… who chooses amazing.”

“Well… it could have been about a dog or a rabbit, smart guy.”
