New Release: Updated Edition of The Ghost of My Father
I’m 
proud to announce the new edition of The Ghost of My Father, with a new epilogue, is now on sale.
The book was first released October 2014, and a year later my father died. The new epilogue explains what happened between these two pivotal moments in my life. It shares what he thought of the book (he did read it and shared his opinion) and what happened between us before he passed away.
This new edition includes a list of resources and recommendations for readers who want to explore their own stories, advice on writing your own memoir, plus an annotated list of books on family dynamics and how to learn from our past.
Free on Kindle Wednesday 11/2 (tomorrow): for 24 hours the updated edition will be completely free. This is in part to give folks who already have the book a chance to grab the new edition without having to pay for the whole thing. Please help spread the word to friends and family you know would benefit from reading my story. Here’s a tweet/FB post you can copy:

Get The Ghost of My Father updated edition.
The evergreen battle between father and soon in a modern point of view. It’s a neverending topic, and you’ve perfectly written about it with a lot of very clever and interesting thoughts. I’ve loved it so much.
Thanks a lot for the very good job.
