I cannot believe how fast it finally happened.
Book #5 has been published on March 1st, 2016.
101 KIND Quotes is a collection of quotes as I post them daily on my blog. I have been doing this for almost two years and you can imagine that quite a lot has come together. To pick only 101 was a bit of a challenge.
I started in mid-January and created almost all the 101 quotes anew. Because of copyright issues, I only used my own photos. New quotes were immediately included in this book. That means you will find quotes I have not posted yet. The past 2 weeks I spent with creating the cover, the acknowledgment, bio, and introduction but most of all putting the file together. That formatting process was a challenge but it made me almost a Word expert…LOL!
Why 101 quotes and not 100? In order to fill the last page 😁
Now to some important details:
- The idea: It was the end of November when Kritika of From The Soul To The Nip Of The Pen suggested publishing a calendar with quotes. I thought that is an awesome idea. But that would have meant creating 366 memes just asap because Christmas and the New Year were close. No, too late for that! But you know me… once the wheel is spinning in my head I don’t give up on it anymore and so I developed the idea of a quote book. I had time to create it and it did not have to have so many quotes.
- The cover photo shows the modern skyline of Vienna (where I am from). The photo was taken by my youngest sister lately. When I thought about creating the cover I remembered it. My sister is an early bird. She took the photo in the morning close to where she lives.
- The forward: I could not feel any more honored! Two of our published authors here on WordPress agreed to write a forward for me. They are Olga of AuthorTranslatorOlga and Sylvester of Syl65’s Blog. You guys are incredible. Thank you so very much!
Where do you get the book?
It is already available as a soft cover on amazon.com and also on CreateSpace. The e-book edition will be available soon too (working on it).
I was thinking about giveaways. But the option I found on amazon only allows people from the US to participate. I will find a way.
For now, I just thank you all! Because in the end, you all made that book possible. The inspiration and impulses you have been giving to me through the interaction and your posts are priceless! Thank you all so very much!
In Love and Light

It is. I guess that is the bigger kick than the book itself. It is a great feeling to “hold in hands” what you achieved.
