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

Well Erika, not being a published author of a Best Seller, myself—as far as you know—I am very excited to find out that you are—an author. And to think that all this time, I thought you were nothing more than a mere follower, dragged to a rather routine looking blog with no wisdom to impart—MINE. Thank god you are so much more than that. That kind of recognition alone, would only get you (not) a cup of coffee, but stared at in a funny way. In all seriousness, though, I am delighted to hear (and read) about this and will be eagerly looking into it—the book, that is. And congratulations on your new book of quotes and recent publication! 😀

Wow, Paul! Your comment is worth a post. You have anything but a routine looking blog – you are a fantastic writer and you catch people with your unique humor. But I know that you know that 😉
Your comment is a hug compliment for me… a huuuuuge compliment. Thank you very much for the honoring words and again your wonderful way of putting them. I love to follow you. 😄 And I feel blessed that you took the time to come over to my blog 💖

I feel like I should be saying this about you. But I’m most certainly grateful for all the kind words. All I can say is thank you, Erika. Well that’s not true, as you know I could probably go on, and on, and on, and on…etc :O)

And I admire that about you, Paul! You are really one those “yay, look what I found” bloggers. I feel very lucky that we connected 😊

And I, Erika. Sincerely, I thank you for saying that, because, I don’t often tell those who respond to me how much I appreciate their following the blog, and their wonderful feedback. I love their clever and witty responses as it contributes more to the over all fun that I’m TRYING to create. You and the rest of the folks have so much more to do with the enjoyment I get out of doing it, than anything I might do on my own. And in a humorous play on that last statement; may that leave all of you more responsible should I fail to make you, the readers, laugh. 😀

Yes, I feel the burden of responsibility… lol! I absolutely know what you mean. Blogging is co-creation. Whatever one blogger writes in the end is the result of the inspiration and motivation of the people who are following him. Paul, I have no doubt that you can never fail. Because you give so much that you will always have people honoring you and appreciating you for what you do and for who you are. Because what you give is an authentic part of yourself… serious for once 😉
