Status: ???

I don't want anyone who is following this blog to think that just because I haven't posted in over a month that the project has lost steam. Excitement is starting to brew, but it's a slow buildup that I believe will boil over in a relatively short time.

First, some good news: The book: 'Project Five-Star: The Five points of Hope,' has been published and is available in several outlets. A hard copy of the book may be bought from Createspace.com, for $6.10. I make very little money from that, and any profit would go toward the project anyway. You may also buy it from Amazon.com, for %6.10, and I won't make any money at all from it.

If you have Kindle, you can get the book for 99 cents, and I don't know how much money I'll get from that. You may also find it for the Nook, also for 99 cents.

The next bit of news may or may not pan out. I let the guy that sleeps in the bunk above me read the book, and he and his fiance were impressed to the point where he thought he'd present it to his church to see if we can get donations rolling. I told him I'd make him a paid fundraiser if he could do that, but unfortunately, nothing more has come of that.

When you're homeless, it's easy for things like that to get lost in the shuffle, which is one reason why I haven't posted much, I've been trying to find myself a job.

And in between all that, I did send pdf copies of the book to several media outlets. I have not heard back from any of them. Promotion is hard work!!!

But I did want to post those two bits of good news and let those that do read this blog know that the project isn't dead. I'm fighting every day to get the word out!
