Our lives are busy. There is too much going on. We have jobs, family, friends, homes, sports, responsibilities and many other things that overwhelm us. Sometimes we just need a way to escape.
My preferred means of escape is sitting on a beach, listening to waves lapping peacefully on the shore, feeling a warm breeze under a shady palapa.
Or maybe a weekend in a cozy mountain cabin, with the sound of a babbling brook floating through the windows on a cool breeze.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a budget that supports that kind of travel as often as I need. Statistically, neither do most of us. We have to work to pay the bills.
So how can you escape?
Books! Books can take you to amazing places and they’re easy on your budget.
Libraries let you borrow books for free, so do friends and family. Kindle and Nook allow you to download books onto their devices and maybe even onto your phone.
Then, there are magical places called bookstores that will happily take your money in exchange for books.
If you don’t like sitting down to read, or don’t have the time, there are audiobooks. You can listen to a book while you take care of your responsibilities! How amazing is that?
Books can take you farther than vacations which keep you trapped in this world in this time. Books can take you to Narnia, the Wizarding World, into the future or into the past. They can take you to alternate dimensions or different worlds.
Books are an incredible, cost-effective, escape strategy and there is an incredible opportunity to stock up on books for people in California’s Central Valley.
I will be there selling my book, Worthless No More, along side about a hundred other authors selling their books.
You will be able to purchase some great escape opportunities and meet the authors that wrote them.
Hope to see you there!
